NEED a loz concept where for some reason or another there is like FIVE zeldas at once like the ultimate divine loophole shit like princess zelda heiress to the throne, tetra the bastard orphan raised by pirates, sheik the half sheikah trans prince in hiding, the light dragon an ancient sage of royal blood who sacrificed herself to thawrt the big bad, hylia reborn the reincarnation of a goddess through divine heritage has a pretty big claim to the throne, and zelda I an ancient princess cursed to sleep forevermore until her fated hero finds her deep w/in the woods...just imagine
botw was a good story about coping w/ tragedy, the dangers of expectations and pedestals, and how to live after disaster
totk could have been such a good story about generational trauma, coming to terms w/ grief, and how to really on others after a life time of being alone but it just...wasnt. it had so much potential to build on the themes of botw and give a good thematic close to zelda and link's archs and it set all that up but just...did not
when i saw articles talking about how link and zelda held hand sin spirit tracks i thought it was Lame and probaly not well excuted and im so soso os sososososoos sorry link and zelda i did not need to disrespect u on ur wedding day like that
yes yes yes you get it you get the spirit tracks zelink. it's not just holding hands for no reason, it's the way it's right after both working together to defeat maladus, the way they're looking up at the fading spirits and then their hands slowly slip to hold each other's in comfort, and touching each other - flesh to flesh - for maybe the first time
LITERALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im sorry no other game has zelink like Spirit Tracks like they may have Zelda and Link being friends from the start, but NOTHING will beat them slowly bonding and learning to trust one another and the pure joy clear in their faces they felt when Zelda regained her body after so long, but then it is immediately interupted by the heartbreak of seeing their mentor leave,the only adult they could rely on and a voice of reason even at their worst moments, and it was so bittersweet but still in the end they had one another it was Link and Zelda against the world just like always, but now they had hope and certainty they can tackle any challenge together and UGHHHHHHHHHHH ITS SO SWEET
apparently? there was game data for if link KILLED the dragons in botw?!?! where they originally gonna let link just like what fight them? were they originally bosses or something like how the gleoks are??? how fucked would that have been if the idea was added back in totk given the light dragon’s...everything
twilight princess is so dangerous bc it has some of the best aesthetics in the entire franchise and it will make u want to DRAW
breath of the wild is a fun game but it is also good to remember it was a reboot of the lore and a lot of things in it were like. not at all in the old games. so maybe do not add some of its characterization retroactively to older lore bc it doesnt even make sense sometimes
