I was literally blown away by Tears of the Kingdom. I've literally never had this feeling for a game since Ocarina of Time. It definitely had exceeded my expectations. Easily Game of the Year. I cannot wait for the Future of Zelda!
Goddessdammit Linky, pull yourself together!!
I headcanon that after the "The Dragon's Tears" and "Crisis at Hyrule Castle" quests, Link's behavior is so erratic and self-destructive that Purah and the sages strap him to chair and make an INTERVENTION!!
They are WORRIED!! 😢
Poor Link misses Zelda so much💔💔💔
But!
he has FRIENDS and they CARE FOR HIM ♥♥

I actually like this idea a lot. One of my favorite things about playing TOTK was learning from NPCs about how much Zelda had helped with the rebuilding process. I would love to have a game that has Zelda teaching school and helping with research projects. It works for her character than a more "combat/adventure" format.
Nintendo needs to make a game specifically for an incarnation of Zelda (personally I want it to be BotW Zelda), that’s similar to Princess Peach Showtime.
It doesn’t need to be a carbon copy obviously but if they made a game that was less like a fighting game and more like a village building game. Like it’s about all the stuff that Zelda did after the calamity and before the upheaval. I would love a game that’s about Zelda helping people build stuff, doing research and even collecting and bugs and materials in order to fill in a book on potions and ingredients.
Think Potion Permit, but like, it’s in a style similar to the remake of Link’s Awakening. I would love to see a small cartoon version of Zelda where the game is about rebuilding Hyrule. A chibi version of all the characters in totk and botw would be absolutely adorable and it might actually be really enjoyable for people that don’t like open world games as much.
My friend suggested yesterday drawing our ocs in the Links Awakening remake art style and it sounded fun so gave it a try ♡ Did the Links and then the leading ladies of their stories (except poor pirate Link in the middle, I haven't drawn his Zelda yet TvT)
“If a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to “eat like growing boys,” while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between them… Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like ‘Men are stronger than women.’ We should be asking: ‘Which men?’ and ‘What do they do?’ There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.”
