#you have one required tool per dungeon and they're QUICK they're SIMPLE they're A GOOD TIME

tears of the kingdom could have been so good if it were built around like, its story or its characters instead of being a clunky shell to show off the mechanic no one asked for that it forces you to use

#i had fun scuttling around in the depths for a while but that got old eventually. for obvious reasons
#what i liked about zelda games was always the atmosphere and character interactions
#like. one of my favorite games is twilight princess. which is. deeply unserious in many ways
#bit it COMMITTED to its setting and what the writers went ham making sure
#that it was still full of whimsy and affection.
#totk doesn't have that. the characters are all 1) instruction manuals or 2) vehicles for what small and disparate semblances of plot
#survived whatever disaster must have happened in development that made them cannibalize several different ideas
#and stick them into the shell for the fucking. arm
#totk plays like a gallery or again just an engine for the building thing.
#it's pretty. the music is good. the building thing is well made. but as a zelda game totk Fucking Tanks
#i HATE overinvolved mechanics. i HATE having to stop and rely on a Whole Process that i have to keep stocked
#to get anything done. i've always liked loz again bc of characters and whimsy but also bc it's always been mechanically vert streamlined
#and accessible to someone like me who is disabled and finds fiddling EXTREMELY tedious
#you have one required tool per dungeon and they're QUICK they're SIMPLE they're A GOOD TIME
#totk. to me. is just clunky and has no redeeming qualities outside of again being pretty and still sort of nominally letting you run around
#collecting things. some of the side quests were cute. but even then the characters were very.
#THE THING ABOUT ZELDA GAMES IS THAT IM used TO THEM BEING ABOUT. NOT JUST THE FUNCTION!!!!!!
#there were things— many of them! sometimes most of them even!!!— there just for fun. again almost especially The Characters
#totk is so goddamn UTILITARIAN on all levels ITS. CLUNKY and BORING i don't WANT to have to do 30 things just so i can do something else.
#hey nintendo. if you have to force people to play your game. like if you specifically have an ''open'' game and then subsequently have to
#manufacturer MANY blocks and caveats to the idea of ''do whatever have fun!!'' so that it's''but only how WE want you to''. maybe thats bad.
#maybe you've done a bad job. if again. you have to FORCE players to go about things in the way and order that you want. it's no fun.
#like even zelda games where you have less options and linear progression feel less restrictive bc like. they don't fucking punish you.
#for. playing the game. you just can't do things. totk really punishes you for going off script. which like. why even do that.
#anyway. this is all probably incoherent. i'm right tho.
#wow there are so many typos. pretend there are not <3
