i am being so brave trying so hard to hold back writing a rant about that 'minimizing narrative noise' comment on totk sage concept art bc its actively flying around in my head like the worlds most annoying fly

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #i have .... thigns to say...............#i need to wait until i get a look at the entire book #and cant go on rants on single comments #then again .... what else is in there .................#i am dreading this thing #like id rather know that there was trouble during development than having a dozen of shitty comments obviously trying to cover up-#-for something- this CANNOT be true #yes narrative noise is a thing that exists- but in THIS game????????????????????????????????????????????????????????#like you basically cut down the already boring plot into its bare essentials that isnt executed well either #and then add confusion and menaingless detailes like the sage helmets “”connecting“” the sonau to the shiekah #when rly it just makes it more confusing bc the hsiekah a prectically gone- the fuck kind of conenction is there #like THAT is what id call narrative noise- weird details that make no sense and arent important #also you cant make a character the equivilant of a blank box and then say 'we wanted them to feel powerful and scary' or sth #BC YOUD NEED TO MAKE THE CHARACTER ANYTHIGN -BUT- A BLANK BOX TO HAVE THEM BE INTIMIDATING #ALSO all the ancient stupid sages do is stand around repeating words like they are puppets- you dont see them fight ever #“intimitadtign” my ASS the useless little knife fake zelda throws at sonia from half a mile away and prob wouldnt even have gotten through-#-her hair is more intimidating than any of the blank box mc sages #youd think they learned their lesson when they made the botw champions DLC bc it fleshed their characters out more and added better-#-shrines BUT NO apparently that was a big mistake huh #maybe thats why every single character is reduced to one boring stereotype or a blank box of nothing in totk #having zelda be anything else but a swooing little damsel waiting for her prince was narrative noise needing to be removed HUH #writing team all fired or what- literally WHAT was going on in there
