Jesus. Just as I thought I was about to read some good news, it just had to be something depressing lol.

This is stupid. Every one knows that cigarettes are bad for you. Maybe fix the housing market, and opiate crisis before going after something like smoking, which plenty of productive people do.

Mmmm tobacco city.

Ha fair point.

Too much freedom can be a bad thing for games. Think about how many open world games there are, it’s overdone. The older Zelda’s had an openness to them, but with restrictions, and I think that was it’s golden formula.

Item durability really is the biggest gripe I have, for the exact same reasons you said. It feels less exciting to get an item.

Haha ok, true. It’s my favorite, guilty bias on my part. I feel like it wasn’t too much of a change from Ocarina though.

I played both, definitely more of BOTW on my Wii U. But I guess because TOTK is more like an asset-flip, I was less excited to get into it than when BOTW came out.

Wind waker chef’s kiss perfect.

I wasn’t yet alive when SNES Zelda was new, so I didn’t grow up with, but I would still consider it a “traditional Zelda” just like I consider ocarina and majora, and wind waker, twilight, to be “traditional”.

Change can be good, but to me, the changes in the new Zelda games are huge and divisive. Sometimes it seems like it took pages from other companies open world games, and lost some of the magic it had.

Or maybe I’m just getting old and bitter lol.

This is like a plot to a movie or something. Some cancelled Indiana Jones spin-off.

Have you seen Hexbear? It’s all just Russian/Chinese propaganda. If the trolls aren’t posting there, the users are getting their information from the trolls and then reposting it.

Yes. I love that guy. He’s on Mastodon too, which is super cool for the fediverse.
