one of the few zelda youtuber guys that seems to actually love totk made a video about it (i guess bc so many talked about why they dont like it) and while i didnt watch it i took a peek into the comments and of course its full of people going "LMAO people only dislike it bc it didnt validate their crazy theories!!" "its always the same when a new zelda comes out lol at first they hate it and then later its a classic haha idiots" "people who dont like it are just caught up in their nostalgia and cant accept anything new being introduced!!"
also thanking him for "speaking up" about loving the game ... which i find kinda mind boggling bc the internet is full of praise and 10/10s for it
i obviously dont want to villainize people that love totk but like .. these kinds of comments are so unecessarily judgemental? how dare someone NOT like an entry in the franchise and voice legit criticism, how dare someone not worship the game just bc it has zelda on it! CLEARLY they are just made delusional by their own fantasy and will realize later just how wrong they were! hah! those fools!
on my rants there were quite a few people who actually said they like the game but agree with alot of my views on it regardless, it is very flawed but i can also see that the good things outweigh the bad stuff for others, even if i legitimately hate it; but i also had to block multiple people bc they got so butthurt about me criticising it
and i dont think its 100% just an opinion thing either, totk, even when i disregard my personal feelings on the matter, has alot of problems, moreso than the other zeldas (each judged for how it was in their time) and in pretty much every part of the game too (story, lore, continuity, gameplay and rewards, UI-) and i think alot of it stems from its conception, they have never done a true direct sequel before and it came from a DLC idea, and it shows (though i still believe even coming from that you could have done something way better..... bc they also made botw, which seemed to prepare fertile ground for more storytelling that was all discarded for NO reason)
BUT that doesnt mean you cant like it anyway! there are some very horribly shitty games out there that are beloved by people anyway! and thats fine! i love ww and botw, both of which HAVE flaws too! and thats okay!
you dont need to be dismissive of any hint of criticism like that, there is no holy honor to defend, it just makes you look like a jerk
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#totk#ganondoodles rants#a little#sorry but like#theres many baffling writing choices in totk#and some mind boggling bad game design too#especially judged by modern games#and completely unnecessary!!#why even call it a sequel if you erase everything from the previous game#and then give some bs excuses in interviews#sorry im starting to rant again#everytime i think about totk i want to bite something bc it could have been so good#and no it didnt have to furfill all my theories or whatever#the biggest problem is that they even refuse to aknowledge the things they established for this new world#which is somethign that will never let me go#you had such a good world build there#you could have gone in so many directions forward#and isntead you go backwards while trampling over the previous game#argh im doing it again#its just so frustrating#you could have been the chosen one#;__;#im calling it the pokemon problem#so much potential thrown out the window again and again for something mediocre but with hints that give you a taste of greatness#greatness that will never be truly taken advantage of
