on twitter you said "Totk being one big nod to laputa is driving me insane I fucking love art bro" and yea ive been thinking about it, especially with the thing where the robots continue following their programming long after their creators have died.

also a vibe i don't really get from totk constructs that i love about laputa's robot is their behavior? like it feels like fictional robots usually either behave like they might as well be humans, or they can behave like robots and have little agency beyond 'they follow their programming (usually hostile)'. but in castle in the sky it's a secret third thing i've barely seen done, for human standards they come off as very detached and emotionless but through their actions they show so much caring about nature and animals. and that's just stuck with me so much. they don't have to put up a façade of what humans think 'care' looks like to care about the world

haha hey!! yeah, it's been fun seeing where and how much the zelda team took inspo from it. I absolutely love the direction they took it in, too!

Also absolutely, Laputa's take on the robots really stuck with me as well— you said my exact feelings better than I ever could. It's one of my favorite takes on robots, I think!
