Replaying age of calamity because you made me think about it a few days ago. And like, when it initially came out I didn't like how it deviated from botw's pre-calamity story but now I'm thinking about how it tells you there was no other way for botw to end but tragedy. That in their circumstances there was never going to be anything they could do that would save Link and the champions and Hyrule from those 100 years - because Link and Zelda were always going to falter under that pressure. Like stopping the calamity in AOC is only possible when the circumstances are completely different!!! It's making me even sadder about botw!!

AoC is the fucked up slice of life ep of botw and you'll never take that away from me. It's their only Good ending despite everyone having to go back to their respective timelines and make it non-canonical. Is it extremely dark in making you realize how doomed they are in the normal botw sequence where everyone is practically dead? Yes. Is it a visual representation of everyone's sorrow and guilt and regrets that they learn through being saved and given second chances? ABsolutely. Is there ancestral/familial bonding between the tragedies while putting all their strengths together to conquer said darkness? a thoOUSAND TIMES YES, AND I EAT THAT SHIT UP LIKE POPCORN. Also we get more Champions time and motherfucker do I CRY because it is so cathartic for me to see the (now canonically called) Sages to work side by side with their idols/ancestors to redefine what it means to be a hero for BOTH parties
