As the title implies there will be spoilers discussed but I wanted to begin a conversation about the story of TOTK.
Specifically, did it live up to expectations? What do the events mean for the overall lore of the series? Is there even a timeline at this point?
Discuss!
Very emotionally satisfying ending. I enjoyed it.
Link learns the story through memories, but then everyone in the game is still like, “I saw Zelda! Why did she tell us to do this weird thing?” Even though it’s super obvious that wasn’t the real Zelda.
I kinda wish I had to figure something out to rescue Zelda rather than Rauru and Sonia just doing magic after I killed the Demon King. Why didn’t they do that earlier? Obviously, I needed the dragon to fight the Demon King, but how could they know he would do what he did?
It would have been neat if there were a “bad” ending and a “good” ending where you could beat the Demon King, but if you didn’t solve some larger puzzle, then you don’t rescue Zelda.
I’d say the story greatly exceeded my expectations, particularly after BotW (which kind of lowered them?). Zelda’s role in this game was simply amazing, and her sacrifice was incredible. I never really know what any of it means for purposes of a timeline or lore, but I just really loved this game and it’s story. It’s not a perfect game, but overall it feels like the best game I’ve ever played.
Loved it. Real lump in throat stuff at times.
I feel like they did Zelda’s character dirty. You can’t leave her alone for 5 minutes before she starts eating whatever weird rocks she finds on the ground.
Absolutely loved it! It made me cry like, five times, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it at all for weeks.
That being said, I get a headache if I try to think about the timeline implications, and if I hear “Demon King? Secret stone?” one more time…
