i know that everyone and their mom and their grandmom and their neighbor and maybe even their dad has thought about it and maybe even the game has thought about and will discuss it, and yes it's primarily a neat mechanic that gives you a varied toolbox for solving little puzzles, but existentially what does it mean to be an echo in legend of zelda echoes of wisdom

#eleplays video games #i am making these shortlived copies of other creatures. when i create them they generally act in my interest #some even follow me around #when i can no longer sustain them they disappear #violence against them can also cause them to disappear #do they have consciousness?#are they being killed?#maybe it doesn't matter to zelda. she will create and destroy what she regards as non-sentient life to preserve what she regards as people #let's not look too hard at the bipedal wears-clothes uses-tools category of monster that is included in copy inventory #a monster type that has always been questionably present in loz as a series #anyway mostly asking bc i get attached to the two crow copies i always make to act as my guard dogs when exploring #and i get bummed when i have to swap them out for a different copy #am i killing them every time? am i gonna carry that weight?
