I have two tloz aus with ocs involved [Reforged au & Twofold au]
I function primarily off mobile so formatting sucks probably but I'm trying
I think nintendy actually listened when people said BotW doesn't feel like a Zelda title. Absolute sidewinder to the head with the classic tloz elements. Feels good feels organic 👍
Also age of calamity was absolutely purposefully done as the in between bc there's some hints sprinkled in there about possible themes in TotK, in an obvious sense you don't need to read into it too much but yeah that's a factor.
Alright so playing thru tears of the kingdom and some general thoughts so far (no spoilers just extremely general observations)
Really enjoying how TotK seems to be pulling more general themes and aesthetics from different past titles than BotW did. We all have seen link do the swan dive shit in trailers but there are other core mechanisms that feel extremely reminiscent of SkySword.
Aesthetic choice wise, there's some symbols yeah but as far as visuals, Twilight Princess all the way. Like I'm vibrating in my seat this makes me so excited. In general, TotK also feels darker in the same sense that TP did, which even before TP we only really hand that in MM and that's sort of its own case. I'm glad to see nintendy going a bit harder with this one cuz as much as I love games like WW, I also love the darker more intense games as well.
SS was also a bit more. Real? Than most Zelda titles. It was less "protagonist saves damsel yeehaw" and more "watch this kid get traumatized and then do it AGAIN" (tbf WW did that too but I digress)
Anyway, enjoying it greatly thus far but just like BotW its a long haul game so progression is slow so long as my stamina wheel is stuck at minimum size
