Play links awakening (get it from the library, like with the 2d kirbys). Im playing it with my kid and it's really fun, I like it a ton better than botw which I fell off of halfway through

i think totk would be a lot less magical without both having played botw first, but also having a really long time between the two games to make you want to re-explore the same but different world.

I hope they make a new Link's Awakening-esque Zelda some day, like they've done with Mario. 2D style and 3D style every few years. The engine is just sitting there!

Link Between Worlds-style, yeah. There's definitely something less, I dunno, exploratory about showing up in Hyrule and knowing where Rito village is, what Death Mountain is like, what Kakariko looks like, even if things are somewhat different. I mean, maybe that's what makes places like the depths and the sky far more interesting, cause they're completely new, even if they don't have the same level of variety as the surface does.

There's never a guarantee that BotW 3 will sell just as well, or they'll continue to have fresh ideas. This is a company that's been happy to drop something that was well recived in favor for doing something different for difference's sake. I dont think it's a stupid bet to think the success of BotW and TotK will continue to inform the future of Zelda design though, but IMO Link Between Worlds sort of feels like that middle piece - faithful to old Zelda will creating a lot of flexibility and freedom.

The GBA Links Awakening is genius in it's use of the two buttons. It's a proto-fuse because you end up realizing how combinations of weapons/items do cool things that you may not discover otherwise.

Like, I think it was the second time I went there when I was starting to get a little tired, all the lights in my house were off, the middle of the night, and no one else was home, and gently caress it just made me feel so uncomfortable being surrounded by this wall of darkness. I kept thinking there was just something massive moving out of the corner of my eye, and it wasn't long before I had to get back to the surface and walk around in the sun a bit to shake that spooky feeling. Such an unpleasant, alien place in the best way.
