#developing the biggest obsession of all time on ganondorf

[rawliverandgoronspice]

Hey what do you think of Master Khoga? I love the yiga in general but Khoga's been kinda divisive. Personally, I love him!

Hey, thanks for the ask!

He actually was my light in the tunnel while playing TotK, his boss battles were delightful and his whole persona was a breath of fresh air --I was grinning every time he was on screen, and I'm super happy they allowed themselves to get really goofy there. I really adored TotK's yigas, I think they make for great antagonists even from a gameplay perspective, as they directly interact with the Ultrahand mechanics and give a much needed spark to the Depths.

There's always the notion that, you know, it would have been cool to enrich the whole "the yigas have an actual reason to be pissed off, and they have gotten yet another step closer to Team Rocket level of shenanigans since BotW, where they already had that very well paced build-up of goofs, instead of exploring actual grievances with Hyrule, and given the game it could have been interesting", but I dooon't think the yigas, as they have been set up by the games, serve to explore this side super well given they are being undermined by the tone at every step. So I think the yigas are fine as is, but I just wish we would have had something else to fill up that role. In the absence of that, yeah, Kohga and the Yigas (great band name) might be a little much and/or underwhelming under a certain light, but I had fun, and I feel like everybody who worked on them had fun too, and that's good for me honestly haha

#asks #thoughts #botw #totk #master kohga #yiga clan #thanks for the ask!! #I still do miss the darker side of the sheikahs as a whole tbh #and the yigas *could* have been that #but it's fine that they aren't #it's just... yeah I wish the game about kingdoms and its tears would actually explore stuff like the yiga's backstory or other things #so it doesn't help the shallowness but it's not responsible for it #and it is a really nice change of tone #I almost wish they actually went harder on the onesidedness of kohga's obsession with ganondorf because that's so funny #the whole pattern of?? somehow weirdly competent shlobby dudes with poor emotional control #developing the biggest obsession of all time on ganondorf #who meanwhile barely knows they exist and/or barely acknowledge their existence beyond what they can provide him #is basically a series staple by that point #and it is a hilarious one
