As Zelda fans we're pretty familiar with what messy and convoluted can mean in terms of lore, especially when things that dont make much/any sense then start retconning and contradicting themselves, much like Zelda is prone to doing.
Though which other franchises are you a fan of that have such nonsensical lore that most of the time you catch yourself watching/playing purely for the gameplay, characters and pretty colours?
I myself am a fan of Evangelion, its balls to the wall nuts, the original series has so many holes and ignored details that by the end of the series (and End of Eva) things that happen seem to happen because reasons...
I've heard that Kingdom Hearts has become needlessly complicated and Fire Emblem, while not being as bad as Zelda or Evangelion, has a rich-yet-difficult-to-soak up lore with some games linking and some existing entirely in other universes.
But which franchises would you care to mention that have lore so complex/deep/convoluted that you love but struggle to keep neat in your head?
