the former are boring and uninspired but the latter are wrong

annoyed by the people who think zelda is nazi shit but more annoyed by the people who think zelda isn't nazi shit

so of course having exhausted all the sheikah shrines in breath of the wild, they can't do that again, but it's a zelda game, so SOMEBODY had to make the temples and powerups a long time ago

basically they settled on the sheikah being high-tech so they needed to come up with a different group to be low-tech and create all the ruins

if you aren't a zelda nerd and don't know who the zonai are don't worry nobody else knows either

if it does i will have to, idk, revise it a bit i guess

this better not contradict my headcanons about Zonai religiosity and general chronology of the peoples of Hyrule

we all know zelda is going to be thrown in the fridge for tears of the kingdom but aside from that, considering it is conceptually the same as Link’s Awakening and Majora’s Mask, i expect it to be pretty good
