re: which ability would you rather have in a zelda game?
i do not care about shield surfing i care about breaking this bourgeois lady’s fancy dinnerware

@coriander also let me roll into trees jesus fuck
@coriander i feel like they could keep a lot of the stuff in BotW and still make a good zelda game too, like
want to replace the piece of heart puzzles with shrines? that's fine
want to keep the cooking and inventory management stuff? ok
want to have lots of exploration and hidden areas? that's cool
but bring back actual items and actual dungeons where you get them, bring back the two-act structure, write a good plot with good characterizations, and stop making everything solvable with a handful of magic abilities you get at the beginning of the game
just imo
@coriander nintendo only remade skyward sword and not twilight princess for switch because if they remade twilight princess people would realize that the new zelda games are bad
@coriander i’ve been replaying Twilight Princess lately and let me tell you it really highlights all the places where BotW dropped the ball

zelda spoilers
also if you are up on the lore the Zonai associate dragons with courage which just lends credence to my belief that the Zelda in botw/totk resonates more strongly with that piece of the triforce
curious about tech networking spaces which :—
• are on the internet
• are politically conscious and active
• are more-or-less run by their members
• do not exist at the whim of some external organization
• are not limited to a single programming style or culture (incl. programming language)
do these exist? why haven't i heard about them?
re: zelda
@monorail i support your blogging regardless :)
@coriander radically embracing roleplaying and letting the player do whatever the fuck they want with no single solution is inherently in conflict with the style of game design which made things like Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime good
