i love how the general theme of the cases so far in s2 is just "we WILL tear apart families" and give us so far not one not two but THREE instances of that happening. one of which happened because a man whose PREGNANT WIFE WAS MURDERED, KILLED ANOTHER MAN WHO HAD A PREGNANT WIFE!! qian jin brutal as hell
this is not me trying to defend nintendo's business practices or say that either of these games don't have flaws, but I think a lot of the comparisons people are making between breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom are a little unfair and don't really take into account that they are different games with different purposes.
"breath of the wild feels so empty compared to tears of the kingdom" ... yeah? with breath of the wild, one of the game's main themes was isolation. you wake up in the future far after the apocalypse you were trying to prevent has already settled. you have no memories, very little strength. just like hyrule, just like zelda, all you have is your will to continue. breath of the wild is the quiet moments, the secret spaces, the weight of the world that has continued to turn without you still resting on your shoulders.
tears of the kingdom is not like that. hyrule is no longer the wild. it is no longer quiet and lonely. there's community. every sidequest is intertwined. your friends fight alongside you. this isn't "fixing" breath of the wild, this is it's natural continuation. as time goes on the world continues to heal and rebuild. if breath of the wild was clawing hope, tears of the kingdom is direct action.
like yeah there are things tears is doing better and (imo) things breath of the wild did better. but i don't think either one is a replacement for the other.
i just found out the game Does remember your league test answers answer to geeta's question when she visits your dorm room. larry's reaction to being your fav gym leader is basically "you're sick in the head, go touch grass"
Alright, some time has passed. Side Order Pearl appreciation time.
I can't stress enough how much I missed Pearl and loved her in this DLC. This applies to Marina, too. I feel like I fell even harder for Pearl, I got reminded of all the qualities I love her for. Her impulsiveness, her supportiveness, her comedy, everything. Not to mention the adorable 2D art of her that I'm absolutely normal about (I'm not). I adored this DLC so much.
