this is a fantastic video that explains my disdain with the lore in tears of the kingdom.

Tears of the Kingdom Lore Is Not Interesting
@LukeAlmighty I wouldn't have a problem with this, really. If the current direction for Zelda was to sort of start from scratch and place these new games in their own bubble, that would be fine. It's so much worse than that though because they still acknowledge directly that these games are at the end of one of the timelines, and there are so many things in BotW that point to so many other games and give references to things.
I WISH they just cut it off completely because then it could be its own thing and everyone would be happy. But it can't even get its own little timeline right then. They literally just do not care, and for the foreseeable future Zelda will probably be focused more on new gameplay ideas than it will be anything else, which is really scary when you look at what happened to Star Fox.
