Some things I really like in ToTK as someone who considers Zelda games loadbearing:

the reuse of the Dragon Roost Island theme strikes an extremely specific feeling in my heart and it makes me want to cry from an emotion that isn’t quite nostalgia (it’s like the equivalent of seeing an old friend)

The reuse of parts of the tune of Faron Woods from Skyward Sword in the Korok Forest

That drop-down into the Great Deku Tree threw me straight back to the first time I dropped down the Deku Tree in Ocarina

Seeing Gohma back was like “oh fuck yeah this bitch!” And knowing exactly how to fight her 👌

The reintroduction of Sages but I wish they had kept 7 as the number of Sages as a True Callback to Ocarina of Time

The Stable Trotters really bring a Spirit Tracks/Phantom Hourglass kind of vibe and it’s probably bc of the tiny little chocolate chip of a Hylian Man that’s the conductor - his design is just so DS zelda and it tickles me

That Ganon is an Active Threat again and that the world feels more reactionary to the events and ongoing caused by his return. It feels like Classic Zelda problems

The way Hyrule Castle is suspended above Hyrule is really reminiscent of its sectioned off fate in Twilight Princess

The phantom soldiers that hold weapons down in the Depths feels like the spirit soldiers from TP

Love that the Depths mirrors the Overworld like an homage to ALTP

#personal txt #I’m having a lot of feelings about Zelda #never in my entire career of playing Zelda have I ever like thought Hard about the lore #it’s always been a series that I just accepted at face value without really analyzing the lore and timeline #this series is such an integral part of my childhood and really was formative for me #the legend of zelda #do you think Link ever just Avatar States it and gets direct connection to his past lives #he sees a baby behind the counter at a store and immediately flashes back to fucking Malo Mart #being shot out of the sky towers reminds him once of how he was shot out of a canon #freefalling and he has the urge to whistle as if something will come and catch him #Link entering the deserted Gerudo City and it reminds him of another ghost town he’s never been to (Ikana Canyon)
