  • When you still thought it was true did you find yourself disappointed by it?

    I actually thought about how cruel Nintendo is to this specific Zelda; I think she must be the most traumatized of them all? First she can’t turn on her powers, then she is stuck with Ganon for 100 years in limbo, then a few years of happiness, then all of TOTK happens, where she endures multiple 10000 years as a dragon with a sword stuck in the head. I was relieved when she was turned back.

    When she said that at the end of the Dragon Tears quest, I thought for sure it meant her quest wasn’t done yet, and I had to seek her out to figure out how to save Zelda. I didn’t yet have Mineru at this point, which is apparently the trigger that makes Impa actually spawn in Kakariko - so I spent quite a bit of time searching for her.

    Ah! I was searching for Impa and I was surprised that Paya didn’t even mention her whereabouts. I didn’t check after Mineru; I guess, I’ll start TOTK one more time for the Impa-dialog.


  • I found myself wishing Zelda remained trapped as a dragon at the end of the game - since they did go through a lot of effort trying to drive home the point that it was a permanent change

    Here’s a funny story: I tried to avoid all TOTK-discussions before I finished the game. For some reason, I saw a “spoiler”/discussion that said that Zelda stays a dragon, she doesn’t turn back. I saw the discussion after Impa said she will look for ways to revert Zelda in ancient literature. I though that the sequel to TOTK will be about turning Zelda back.

    I have to admit that I was very positively surprised that Zelda was turned back; on the other hand, Nintendo would’ve had my deepest respect if they made an unhappy ending.
