Is there any indication in other Zelda lore what kind of leader she is or is it perfectly viable that she's actually an iron fisted bloodthirsty tyrant warrior queen?

Most of the time each game has a different Zelda anyway

She's always characterized as a kind, compassionate, and wise leader (though its not necessarily reflected in the game). 'Wisdom' is supposed to be her entire strength.

Every game has a different Zelda though so how she runs things is never really the same. Notably in Hyrule Warriors she is a warrior princess that actively leads her soliders in battle.

Well, a variety of reasons. As stated you'll see. But it was also the first 3d one, and for Reasons they also decided that along with the transition to 3d they needed combat. And the 3d was bad, and the combat was also bad, so...

My dad got this game when it came out. He enjoyed adventure games, and also had a policy that me or my brother couldn't see or watch violent video games, so he would send me out of the room whenever he played it. At the time I was kinda upset by that.

Later, when I was older, I tried to play it and realized that I wasn't missing anything, actually.

literally the only way this game could be made to seem cool is by your parents forbidding you to play it, so that you never actually saw or experienced it

This is kinda funny because I remember the game being really bad but not, like, walk-through-walls broken.

I think the runner needs some excited couch backup though, he's very chill and this probably doesn't look as fun to somebody who's never played it before.

gonna go out on a limb and say that it doesn't look fun because it isn't and that has nothing to do with the guy not screaming at us

They might have said this on stream and I missed it, but apparently the way this game handles area transitions is it uninstalls the old area from your hard drive, then installs the new area in its place

should be like William Gibson's Agrippa, where playing the game deletes it permanently forever, you can play it precisely one time

Sorry I mean, I think if he were more lively it might be more fun to watch. Playing King's Quest 8 is an awful exercise in frustration, nobody should do it.

The speedrun seems just normal awful and not funny awful, which while technically qualifying it for awful block isn't, like, the draw, really.

Agreed. He's a bit too chill for this, and it's not helping that he's following the absolutely hysterical Wand of Gamelon.
