so um. tears of the kingdom slaps in so many ways. i'll post some thoughts for real eventually (including some hot takes), but right now, i'm just kind of basking in it. there's a long discussion to be had about its story, but right now, i'm just happy it HAS a story. like, a real one with an evolving narrative and twists. it made me feel things.

#not su /#totk #tears of the kingdom #zelda #very much feels like a sincere attempt to create a 'complete' zelda which relies both on the idea of the grand epic of past 3d #zeldas with the open-world exploration of botw But Better and Even Freer. and the result is pretty good #in fact its so good that i really want the next zelda to be Very different (especially in storytelling since - while well-executed - totk #relies on a lot of old zelda tropes with very little incentive to come up with anything new) but hey i would rather that be done WELL #than hardly trying at all #i could talk about logic and tropes and things like that but i can't deny that holy shit it made me cry at one point #which is sincerely impressive in a freakin nintendo game
