still kinda. idk grates on my nerves? that in botw and totk (ESPECIALLY totk) nearly every other character revolves around in some form or otherwise plays off of link without link. being a character
#im not tagging this. ill likely delete it later. but they really made him the specialist boy that everyone is tied to#and then didnt give him any relevant character traits or opinions he just stands there#its worse in totk tbh bc at least in botw the other characters have stuff going on outside him and are interesting#totk is really like ohhhh the new sages are links friendsss his confidantssss and link does nothing to back this up#every other character does the heavy lifting while link kinda just floats around like a piece of paper with his face plastered on it#it still gets to me how much of a non-character link is while everything else relies on him being a character#they handed out this guy who is very much a blank slate with a handful of gameplay traits and then were like hes v important to the story :#idk hiw to get to my issue with link here. it just boils down to like. hes not treated like a Character he’s more just a customizable avata#they leaned wayyy to hard into the player self insert part while the story tries to go the opposite way with it#he doesnt feel like he has any history or. anything beyond the immediate moment he has nothing#hes very hollow he doesnt react to much doesnt seem to have any kinds of preferences#he has character traits and personality but barely any of it is actually relevant when it matters#link has never really been a fleshed out character but hes usually had SOMETHING more compelling than a premise thats just a trope
