Any person who looks at the world presented in Breath of the Wild and then maps so extremely selectively the way you did only a tiny handful of the concepts onto their own world... would not be capable of conducting themselves in any reasonable society. Why look at 'princess Zelda lacks some agency' and map that to all women instead of 'princess Zelda can summon the most powerful weapons in existence and grant me control over them' to all women? Because the second would make you sound like a lunatic? Yeah, the first one does too.
Why, honestly, do you presume the gender of these characters? Link wears very tight clothing for much of the game and it is crystal clear that either he has no penis or else he is horrifically mutilated. Perhaps a future game will explain how he was emasculated by Gannon or something. Oh, hey, what about Gannon? He's kind-of male right? Why not map him onto all men and start fearing your dad is going to morph into a demon horse-thing?
When it comes right down to it, most people who seek to "analyze" videogames fall flat on their face. They pick and choose only the barest threads of concepts out of a game, refuse to follow any of them to any serious degree, and extrapolate ludicrous conclusions without ever addressing why those conclusions are any less valid than extrapolating out the other details of the world in exactly the same way.
