Tetra, a pirate, gets turned into a princess. And to show just how much more magical and royal she is, they lighten her skin. Sorry this is difficult for you to comprehend.
You're doing a GREAT job selling your game btw
Because it's a stupid argument that tries to bring the very valid issue of racial politics with character shading, into a situation where it's not present at all. They made Tetra tan because she's a pirate. They made Zelda pale because that's what every Zelda in the series has been, because she's a princess.
This is a series where completely different versions of the main character (Link) have only differed slightly, by age and hair style, and yet some of you are trying to concoct a narrative for why Zelda, who has similarly strayed very little in design, once again, strays very little in design. Not to mention, Tetra rejects her role as princess and in future games attains a position higher than princess as the founder of the new Hyrule
