twilight princess is the best zelda game of all time because it is a story about community at its core - it about fighting tooth and nail for the people you want to love and protect, about teaching that real strength and power lie in your bonds with others, about overcoming loneliness and fear and apathy for your community .....

#there is also a giant yeti who makes a delicious soup for his wife #perfect game #I have so many thoughts about this game like #more than any other zelda game IMO this game centers what it means to be in community with people and protect them #the entire game you spend trying to rescue ilia and the kids #link rushed into the darkness with NOTHING to save them #and while he is the chosen one that doesn't really matter to the story??#like he was going to do this all regardless #colin who spends the whole story nervous sees link and gains strength from how hard he is fighting for them #everywhere link goes he finds pockets of community and not only protects them but JOINS THEM #the wrestling with the gorons makes him one of them #the zora queen entrusts her son to him #the yeti's let him into their home #in other zelda games the drive is usually some grand journey to save the princess or a singular person important to link #but in twilight princess his identity is tied SO CLOSELY to what it means to be from orodon #when you get to snowpeak ruins he is struck by the reminder of home in the ingredients he finds #and even to midna he becomes much more than the chosen one and her actual friend #when you get to the desert and she admits the truth about herself link just smiles and accepts her #he wasn't doing this because she forced him too #he did it because he wanted to #she has become his friend and he will protect her and help her #fuck #i'm going to cry thinking about this AHHHHH #like zelda and midna are both rules but they are distant from their people #meanwhile link is no leader #he is just a goat herder from ordon who spends his free time entertaining the local kids and exploring the woods and riding his horse #link is just some guy but he LOVES the people in his life so deeply and that affects both zelda and midna in profound ways in the story #i'm #normal #kels speaks
