@BlinkRape haven't there been like, 3 "final miyazaki films" at this point?

@GrungeQueef >who in their right mind

@xianc78 so what you're looking for are new memes, not necessarily "original" memes.

@xianc78 one can hope we get some explanation at some point on where the game is in the timeline because it's a clusterfuck right now.

i think TP could feasibly be a prequel to ALttP. the downfall timeline was a way of saying "this is everything before we had an idea of what we wanted the overall story to be" because after ocarina they actually had pretty clear ways for the story to go. it probably would have been better to not include those games in the timeline at all, give them their own place, because it doesn't make any sense that two timelines would be spawned due to time travel with one timeline being a purely hypothetical one. the downfall timeline is pretty much the "non-canon" timeline because of that. it would have been better to say those games were only canon to themselves, and that ocarina of time essentially was a reboot.

which could be basically what they're doing here with BotW and TotK, but it's made more confusing by the fact that it still references all of the old games and even uses common terminology like "the imprisoning war" despite it being a completely different war from the imprisoning war we had known before.

the story of botw and totk is serviceable by itself, but trying to fit it in the broader zelda mythos makes it seem pretty poor. i'm still looking forward to see how the zelda lore youtubers try to fit all the puzzle pieces together, though, or at least what they have to say about it.

tears of the kingdom reminds me of kingdom hearts 3 in a way, in that the fans hoped to get a lot of things about the story cleared up after such a long amount of time had passed, but they were only given more things to think about. it's in pretty poor form, imo.

botw/totk is certainly supposed to be a soft reboot. there's not really another way of looking at it.

@alke now i'm home on my IPS display i can see it, was on my phone earlier.
