i know it'll be hard to go back to botw after totk, after how MUCH BETTER- strictly through gameplay- totk was. but like. i really want to purchase botw eventually, and maybe finally finish it myself. i've seen the ending of the game dozens of times through other means. but idk. there's something about totk and botw that's so... uniquely special to each person who plays.

i've been watching alongside plenty of streamers and youtubers with totk, because honestly, i think that its a great game to be able to "spend time" with someone else during? saker and i parallel play all the time, both laying in bed next to each other having our own unique adventures in hyrule. today he was telling me about a merchant he's met and befriended to the point that merchant will STOP DRIVING HIS CART if saker hops off to go grab something, then resume when he gets back on!! why is that programed into the game!!! i don't even know if i've met that merchant specifically- i mostly see xyle, but saker was talking about eryck !! granted, we may have just been on different parts of the map at the time.

but its still so interesting, how different the experiences with this game can be? i cried about the tears of the dragon questline. i've listened to another streamer cry about it. i've watched so many people geek out about the new mechanics. no two people follow the quests the same. i think that also feeds into why, with link specifically, he's one of the few muses i've ever had where there's been no hint of anxiety towards duplicate muses. another wilds link will not be my wilds link. it's honestly really refreshing. it's been years since i felt so attached to a muse, and even longer since i felt so uniquely about my own that i didn't mind interacting with others. idk. totk and this blog, albeit with my lack of ic due to Life Events, have been so helpful and happy for me.

thanks for sticking around with me / my portrayal thus far everyone ♥ thank you for enjoying my headcanons, my writing, my art, my silly clip of breaking a phantom ganon. just. thank you for letting me have a good time here.
