I'll play Minecraft again when they add fast traveling into the game. (Or if my son asks me to start a new server with him) Almost 17 year old survival game with no fast traveling lol.

I think some people's problem with the story is the amount of digging you need to do OUTSIDE of the games to understand more of the lore. That's just not fun to some people. If they'd do more of the Zora Monuments style in-game lore, folks would appreciate that more.
Steeze@SaintSteezus

BotW & TotK don’t retcon or contradict each other, or prior games. They both in their entirety, can fit just fine as long as you dig a bit. Its just that a lot of people either 1. Are fixated on them being in a specific spot they like 2. REALLY want other games to not matter

@alexaugerdev @Rev_ADB Kokiri became Koroks because of the Great Flood and so they could venture off to create more forests. We know that BotW's Hyrule was prone to immensely damaging flooding from the Lanayru / Zora River. It's not impossible Hyrule experienced a different kind of "Great Flood".

@Rev_ADB This is a pretty evident fact given the Zora exist at the same time. What's not explained are the Koroks also being there, with visibly no changes. Yet they're originally Kokiri, meaning the Great Flood must've happened. Else it implies Korok -> Kokiri -> Korok.

(1/2) I address this in my series. But it is almost certain that the Rito of BotW are not at all related to the ones of Wind Waker. They share no anatomical features, nor any of the same lore or symbols. The only thing they share is the name “Rito” youtu.be/-z1VyDLl4VA?si…

King Rauru gifting a secret stone to Qia implies the Rito were present before the events of Ocarina of Time, which is impossible unless the Era of Foundation happens after merging the existing timeline or being part of a new one (see pic). I've got even more to say.

@Rev_ADB I can't believe anyone could believe Rauru's kingdom DOESN'T predate Ocarina of Time. Actually crazy lol

The revelation here being. BotW is linguistically in the fallen hero timeline (not a shocker), but the written language of Rauru's time is unified era in its origin. Meaning, Rauru's kingdom DOES predate Ocarina of Time. Refounders were wrong. Plenty of lore, if you're looking.

Funny enough that questline told us plenty of info about the ancient hyrulean written language during Rauru's time period. BotW syllagraphy = the downfall timeline's. Rauru and Sonia's syllagraphy = unified timeline script. You missed what lore was dropped here.
Magiya93@amorus93

@Rev_ADB Yeah I mean who could forget that sky island quest where you go around finding a bunch stone tablets to decipher that tell you what Zelda was doing during her time there instead of any actually interesting lore about the time period

@PaulTassi It's cool but like, it just changes to a few different shapes instantly and no one touches that part. But also, why is the ground moving like that?

@lazyjusten I also don't like this post because yeah, the layout is similar, the art styles are so intentionally not the same. Comparing them is moronic lol.

@00Core00 @GenePark @xShephardx They're not comparable games though, that's the problem. People just see action rpg's set in a medieval-ish fantasy world and decide they're supposed to be like each other. This would be A BAD THING. DD2 existing as it is is a GOOD thing. It's not a bad game, it's just different.

@GenePark @xShephardx No joke. I was playing it & thinking to myself... "This is what I wish Dragons Dogma 2 had aimed for!?" As a long time fan, I knew what I was coming into, right? A little more "adventure" on the devs part in what they tried, wouldn't have been a bad thing.

@SalvadorShivan @Rev_ADB That's what I mean. Age of Imprisonment, they had a single sentence explaining why the Knight Construct wasn't in Tears of the Kingdom. It's the exact same logic. It would take Purah saying "We deconstructed most of the Sheikah technology because it was simply too dangerous."

Ill have to say that most of these cases were devs trying not to alienate people that did not play BoTW, and the other part is they probably dont have enoght save data to properly address what Link did in BoTW, so a general decision has made to just make anyone non important forget. In other cases, specially anything related to Zelda and Link they were threading a needle because they decided not to confirm the status of their relationship, that is why Hudson do not remember Link and there is not indication that Link ever lived in Hateno what makes no sense (other than the DLC picture that might be an oversight tbh) or how Zelda got to live in his house... I would have ordered all Sheikah tech to be dissasembled myself tbh... its too dangereous to have around considering Ganon can take control of it... But personally? that could easily be explained by saying the tech got buried. Originally all Sheikah tech were buried... I seem to remember all towers to be underground originally.

Every time I tell someone to elaborate on how TotK retconned BotW… all I hear is “Well… people forgot Link” And we know that is a gross misrepresentation. But go ahead: explain, in detail, how TotK retconned BotW’s lore.
Robin Poe 🐑@RobinPoedev

@JonDArsen factually untrue, what little "lore" botw had was retconned in Totk, which itself has barely anything. most of what they do have is just a loose adaption of the stortelling beats of the previous games

@Rev_ADB I'm not even THAT into Jurassic Park (I know you are though), but even I could tell that one was a miss lol. I could be missing the mark here, but man, the magic of Jurassic Park 1 just hasn't been touched.

@Rev_ADB @MrJmZack Super fair feedback. I agree. The highlight of it for me was that my son and I didn't play it co-op until I got to the final couple battles and surprised him by handing him a second controller. He was so confused until he saw the split-screen. We finished it together.

Fact. This only works if it's a extreme rework of how the game works on a fundamental level. To be fair, adult link can realistically use a boomerang for example. And going to Gerudo Desert as young link can be undone. I just don't see this happening though.
🏴‍☠️Loki🏴‍☠️ In Punk Hazard@Valeska_Loki

There’s no way the 2 games section is real bc there’s entire sections of the game where you need to go back to being Child Link, before you can open Adult Link temples. Shadow Temple and Spirit Temple specifically. Splitting them into 2 games wouldn’t work bc of that.

@Rev_ADB @MrJmZack I probably missed it somewhere in the last several months, but Rev, what were your impressions on AoI? Anything you didn't like? Overall, it was good, though I liked AoC better. Thought they did Calamo dirty though.

@MrJmZack @Rev_ADB Going back to this. My gripes are asinine and I do know it. 😂 But hey, I'll have you know I'm of the 1% who actually liked Age of Calamity's lore and found it really important, because while canon-ish, there were some GREAT 100% canon pieces in that game.

@itsJoshualive @Rev_ADB That's asinine and you know it. There's a lot that goes unsaid in any game or piece of media. It shouldn't need to spoon feed you every little thing to be good. Why does it bother you for this specific game? Who hurt you?

@FallowRealms @Rev_ADB Rehash is hyperbole. A single sentence would have sufficed. It may not have mattered to you, that's okay. It matter to me, that's also okay. This is just a dialogue we're having.

@itsJoshualive @Rev_ADB Bro come on. That’s what you care about? The freaking divine beasts? You wanted them to rehash that? They were added in as a way of tying together very loose gameplay. They existed to shape a loose narrative. They aren’t interesting.

@Rev_ADB @MrJmZack Actually good to know, I didn't realize this. Dude I burned myself out so bad on Tears of the Kingdom after 100%ing it right out of the gate. I haven't dove into lore since it launched lmao. Life got extremely busy right after with my third son being born and new job! 😂

@MrJmZack @Rev_ADB You on the other hand need to understand that it's okay for someone to both love something AND be critical of it. This is allowed and is healthy and is okay.

@MrJmZack @Rev_ADB Settle yourself my guy. I nitpick Zelda games because I love them. Tears is my favorite. You're hyperbolizing my critique, but this is typical if someone criticizes a Zelda game. It happens a lot in media, sure, I single out Zelda because Zelda is my favorite piece of media.
