oh and zelda's the protagonist this time but she has no personality and never talks so she might as well actually be Link because despite this being a new direction they dont actually feel like pursuing what that means

it has traditional dungeons this time but I can't remember any of them, it goes in a new direction but it's so insecure about it that there's a button that lets you play the game like any other zelda.

Idrc about getting a "normal zelda" but EOW feels so hollow in a lot of ways, after taking zelda in a new direction with botw they dont really know what the series is anymore even though botw felt confident in what it wanted to be, they said they focused on story this time but it has no substance

like with the way it's used to commentate on the state of America, or how it uses its multiverse or butterfly premises to tell this story really well. This show made m cherish anything that comes from this muscular and veiny man with all my heart.

and then in bananza there's the rain layer where all of its inhabitants are obsessed with the weather but the abilities you get have nothing to do with it and the problems of that layer are entirely unresolved and are primarily a background element

Like comparing to Odyssey, I think the process of getting a banana often times had more depth than getting a moon in mario, but if I think about the experience as a whole it feels a bit empty. Like Mario's kingdoms are such an experience, living worlds where you interact with their unique cultures

playing I'm just bumbling around the map waiting for anything to happen. The regular races reinforce what I feel, rather than interesting level design, gimmicks, or mechanics what sticks out to me the most are just the minicutscenes that play every now and then which just rely on finite shock value

I dash around City Trial with no idea of what's happening or what I'm doing and my random button mashing will occasionally result in me actually attacking someone. I'm at my most engaged when there's an event, because that gives me purpose and actually brings people together, for the rest of my time
