What is your unpopular Zelda opinion?

[Bowsette Plus-Ultra]

TotK's story had three tasks: be as dark and intense and it promised to be, do something interesting and not be just another standard Zelda plot, and finally, don't make the lore an even bigger mess than it already is.

It just failed so spectacularly in these three points that some people who normally like Zelda stories couldn't give it a pass.

I don't know if TotK's plot was ever really setup to be anything especially dark. Maybe dark in the literal sense that Link and Zelda walk through a well lit cave for all of two minutes, but not much beyond that. Feels about as dark as Twilight Princess was.

As someone replaying TP, lol no. I'd say BotW was closer to it, and Majora's edges out both, no pun intended.

TotK... doesn't really have anything too heavy to it. It's pretty much a basic "Where Zelda?" with the regional phenomena around the temples where some Sages are awakened and we all know Ganondorf messed everything up. That's closer to OoT's Adult Link's section but the Sages don't go poof.

Sure, it has some scenes that are a bit more impactful, but it's nowhere like TP where the plot makes sure to get personal with Link and Midna 24/7.

I know, I just mean that TotK falls into the usual Zelda norm of having almost no stakes. Something like TP puts on the air of being dark right in the beginning, but then barely has anything bad happen to anyone.

Tatl being the most annoying companion in the entire series. I only have 3 days to save the world, stop bugging me!

I wish Skyward Sword Link didn't wear a Green Tunic i like better the idea that the Kokiri Clothes was the Origin of the Green Tunic

Skyward Sword is unfairly overhated

DS Zelda Games Touch Controls are annoying

That the roc's cape is a crappy item. It's clunky to use, limited, and inconsistent.

That the Hero's Spirit aka OOT Link, died fighting a war in Termina. It is just speculation on my part.

Actually I rather hope he did instead of dying in the lost woods so your unpopular opinion is also my unpopular opinion

he technically could've died anywhere, didn't necessarily have to be in the lost woods

The Temple of the Ocean King is one of the best gimmicks in the entire series, second only to the three day cycle. The Tower of Spirits was relatively boring in comparison and I wish that they’d revisit the concept as it was in PH.

I know. I named lost woods because most theories say he died there. Personally I believe he didn't die there at all.

Saying he died in the Lost Woods feels like a tremendous leap of logic. The Link we play as in MM is a child, but the one we meet in Twilight Princess is very much the skeleton of an adult. Was he just playing patty-cake for ten years?

 

[BloodyKun]

My opinion is the whole hero’s shade thing feels like crappy fanfiction.

 

[Lambsquirt]

Definantly the "Sheika" being the Twili interlopers,
&
Koume and Kotake are Ganondorfs Daughters.

It's Hyrulian, not Hyrulean.
