thinking about the (probably) unintentional symbolism of the master sword's state often reflecting link's in the botw trilogy, swords being frequently described as an extension of yourself in popular media, the master sword as an extension of link and link an extension of it. he really is a living weapon if you think about it too hard

#botw #the legend of zelda #breath of the wild #i think about this WAY too much for my own good #botw link always wins the link most dehumanized by the narrative award #the 2d links dont have a lot of character yeah but at least they werent treated like a tool #ww/oot/tp/ss obviously toy with this idea and go 'hey this is actually kind of bad?' but botw is like 'lol'#'we're going to briefly criticize our own metanarrative and then actively say that the people suffering from it were actually in the wrong'#i say this as someone is has been obsessed with botw for the past...shit. like since it came out #my hyperfixation just causes me to criticize the media i like more because i literally eat it #and yet: we stay silly
