Zelda is like my Lord of the Rings. There is so much rich history there. Is it any wonder anyone but general audiences hated Rings of Power? If someone completely detached from the original writings of Tolkien came out with a new book set 10,000 years into the future that rewrote certain things and left out others, how do you think the fans of LotR would react? It doesn't make a difference that Middle Earth was deliberately crafted down to every detail and that Zelda wasn't necessarily. The writers and director still have to uphold the lore that does exist for it to be successful with its core audience. So I think a lot of the problem in general is that the core audience may no longer be the target audience because it isn't as lucrative. Younger kids and general audiences are more important because, now that gaming is a massive industry, companies stand to gain more by trimming off that core audience and appealing to a much wider demographic.

@LukeAlmighty @Awoo the fact that there is still no durability meter or how much each item will add to durability is criminal. the UI in general is pretty bad, it's clunky and doesn't even loop. i mean, if someone has to make a video about wtf the number on the armors and shields actually means, you've done something wrong. there's this massive equation that goes into it and the number the player sees is kind of like just a guess on how good it is. it's that way in botw too, it's kind of crazy they didn't improve on that whatsoever.
