@monorail this is sourced from the pokémon company’s own statements on the matter; i agree with you, but convincing games fans that they can make their own determinations on things like this is a difficult task
this was part of a long complaint about how twilight princess’s depiction of a traditional european fantasy world in decay was simultaneously interesting and frustrating in that it meant that classical european texts like greek and roman mythologies were very relevant and useful cues
i talk with my girlfriend about some of my twilight princess fanfic plans and i have to be like “yeah i need to be careful not to think too hard about breath of the wild when i’m doing this because the two are really not aesthetically compatible at all”

@aescling yeah
@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)
@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
@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 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 lifehack: every opinion is a fact if you preface it with “i think”
