thinking about how wind waker link’s first adventure had him controlling the winds to get around, it being his biggest strength in braving and traversing the seas, and in his next adventure he finds himself on a ship that does not at all require the wind for anything

#idk. like. even if link had the wind waker in ph. it would kinda be totally useless #just some thoughts #loz #legend of zelda #link #wind waker #phantom hourglass #i have yet to play wind waker properly but i think a lot about the differences between ww and ph #in terms of links experiences. like in ph realistically he has little control in where they go. its not his ship #he marks the path and mans the cannon but thats all he likely knows how to do #and hes only allowed to manually steer one time as far as we can see #idk. thoughts. i got ph on the mind and made this connection earlier idk if its anything #i like the idea of his ph adventure being a massive change insofar as… hes not some hero of courage he was just there in time #if that makes sense? ik he doesnt have the spirit of the hero of w/e and hes not specifically chosen #but its scaled back a lot in ph anyone technically couldve stepped up and did what link does #hes not alone he constantly has a fairy tagging along hes got a larger group of constant companions #idk what im trying to get at. maybe im brainstorming link ideas #salty talks #maybe the idea of link kind of wanting to feel needed after ww. if that makes sense. hes afraid of being useless to someone #something like that. he doesnt really want to go back to just being the kid the gods didnt pick bc he feels like.#hm. playing the hero in ww made him feel needed but it also terrified him and that feeling of being needed helped him combat that terror
