#link was self isloating chasing the barest rumor of zelda focused on HER. in botw he barely thought about her but in totk?

[trixstriforce]

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

#loz #tears of the kingdom #man its jsut! everybody and their mother knows the game was disappointing #but ti had SO MUCH POTENTIAL it set up some rlly good stuff but just left it there #zelda and link both were in opposite positions!!! zelda was finally in a supportive environment and leaning how to be confident #only to have that support system ripped away and be forced to lose her fmaily AGAIN #link was self isloating chasing the barest rumor of zelda focused on HER. in botw he barely thought about her but in totk? #in totk most quests were focused on that quest or improving hyrule in some way #he slowly is building a support system even as he self isolates as hyrule comes together as a community and link SHOULD have learned to rel #more on those around him who also missed zelda and wanted to help. they set that shit up. but he didnt!!! #he was alone in a crowd! and zelda was vindicated in her belief that she can only help those around her through sacrifice #and that her own abilities were rlly not important compared to link which is A WEIRD FUCKING MOVE NINTENDO MADE #erm anyway yeah waitng for the totk rewrite fic to drop and give me everything i need and more #trix posts
