I’ve gotten most of the way through totk (i think) and I’m pretty sure at this point the sages are never going to get names/face reveals

like before the game’s release I didn’t want the champions to return because they died a hundred years ago and their spirits are at peace now they don’t need to be brought back for some plot contrivance

but in comparison the sages preform the same narrative role (warriors from the past who fought ganon and are now passing on their powers to help the future generation suceed this time) yet they’re such a downgrade to the champions. Like at this point I’d rather have beloved established characters return then have them replaced with lackluster characters who don’t even have names

#julian plays totk #totk spoilers #this is with the caveat that maybe they do get more personality in the later game and i'm just not there yet #i'm finding mineru now i think that's late game stuff #maybe i will be surprised and the sages will actually be fleshed out #they could have gotten more personality during the temple quests #but no. their explanations cutscenes are bascially the same #like you are supposed to be unique individuals please share your own unique persepctive on these events #this is where the story suffers from being an open world game #the player could go to any one of the regions first so they need to have the same basic info #but it's like. copy paste #honestly just ressurect the champions at this point they are more interesting characters #age of calamity fleshes out the champions and their relationships with the new generation better than totk does with the sages #the sages could have been the first divine beast pilots but there's no mention of the divine beasts anyway #i've said this earlier but even though i like the zonai i don't like that they'll essentially replaced the ancient sheikah #botw introduced interesting worldbuilding. instead of exploring that totk takes a couple things and veers completely somewhere else #sheikah? never heard of them #it's all zonai know #i think i've gotten completely off course i'm done rambling in the tags
