i'm lowkey excited for the next 3D zelda game because i want to see where they go AFTER botw. will they keep some elements of the open world? will they include aspects of environmental storytelling? what will they do? i'm excited to see it

#legend of zelda #i don't think they'll go back to something fully linear like tp or sksw honestly #i was pleasantly surprised to see some design elements from botw return in eow #things like the lynel design and the map design. i kinda wasn't expecting it #although. botw was a sort of soft reboot to zelda too #i think going back to a linear game would be a step in the wrong direction #yes oot was revolutionary for its time but that was in 1998. oot was among the first 3D games where you had free range of motion #we've come SO much further than that. and a lot of the games people consider to be the best from the last decade or so #are the ones with the full open world. like botw #(which in itself inspired a lottttt of these games)#like here's my controversial opinion but the botw lore is some of my favourite in the franchise #not entirely for what it is but for how it's conveyed #you're supposed to see things in the overworld and make connections or interpret it yourself #so like. there's this village in between akkala and eldin that's been burnt down. and there's a red wizzrobe dancing around there too #there are lines of swords in the ground in fort hateno that i think are meant to represent graves #(there are a lot of graves/implied graves in botw)#zelda has all these little drawings and notes over her study. that's all her research and it's somehow mostly untouched #anyways! i'll shut up now aksjskdjskdj #i should play it again soon but i feel unsatisfied if i'm not at least a little freaked out playing a video game now akdjskdjdn #resident evil has RUINED ME. totk depths were helping but idk. botw isn't really all that scary #(guardians don't count once you know how to kill them. neither do lynels)#(yes i will fight gold lynels for fun)
