i don't actually enjoy zeldalikes so i don't think i am going to play the cute furry zeldalike
@Lady Do you even like most actual Zeldas?
That sounds mean, that's not supposed to be mean, I just feel like we've had this conversation
@witchfynder_finder no it's a very fair question
i like twilight princess
i like the toon link games, especially the handhelds
i like spending time in breath of the wild (but not the dungeons or combat so much)
the rest of the games i find tolerably enjoyable but they wouldn't be worth my time if they weren't zelda games and i wasn't already very invested in zelda worldbuilding, which is why indie versions really just do not hold that much appeal for me
@witchfynder_finder like i’m really 80% a twilight princess fan and only play other zelda games because they're set in the same universe as twilight princess
@witchfynder_finder TUNIC looks really cute and fun it just also looks like it will take a lot of time and i don't have a thirst for adventure to sate or a need to complete arbitrary challenges to fulfil a narrative the size of a pamphlet
if i made games i would probably be all over it, but i don't make games and i don't think it knows how to translate itself into a conversation about anything else
@Lady Yeah, that's fair
Apparently it's leading to some really interesting conversations about design, but I don't really care about any of that, either, I just love games where I explore things and also cute foxes, so a cute fox game where you explore things is very Coriander Flavoured
@witchfynder_finder with games like that i think either they become the Cave Story of Zeldalikes or everybody forgets about them after a year
if the former winds up happening i think that’d be cool but it really depends on whether others are willing to take its ideas and run with them or not
(also i think the title of Cave Story of Zeldalikes might already be taken by Anodyne)
@Lady I mean, Twilight Princess is REALLY good so
