Does Tears of the Kingdom have the worst lore in video games? It ruined Zelda's thats for sure.

Goat cock

lol sex with goat man

it’s definitely the biggest nothingburger, absolutely nothing about TotK is interesting from a worldbuilding perspective and that only serves to further hurt its longevity.

The last good Zelda game was Majora's Mask.

I don't play video games for the lore.

Zelda doesn’t have any lore.

Thought Zelda was sex in BotW until TotK kinda ruined her by turning her into the progeny of a furfag negro elf and a freakazoid alien dragon man that looks like a goat. I guess Paya is easily the best girl now.

I liked the GBC Capcom ones quite a bit.

zelda lore/storytelling never mattered

lmao

The lore don't matter. None of this matters.

ToTk ruined everything

The Zonai!

Two people?

Zonai > Oocca

Sure it does. Lore is just context for the fictional world you're exploring

Not really. A bunch of weirdos online wanted to find continuity between stories, and Nintendo eventually decided to make money off them, thus the “official Zelda timeline” came out.

I doubt before this point anyone at Nintendo put any thought into how the stories really connected beyond some very simple threads.

This isn't what I took from TotK at all. I really enjoyed TotK's narrative. It's rare to see a simple old fashioned love story between two white heterosexual characters.

TotK is a tale about recovering from tragedy. Link fails to save Zelda in the beginning. He is hurting from the trauma. He is haunted by Zelda's ghost everywhere he goes.

Every shrine Link beats, every heart container he gets, it expunges a little bit of the pain from him. He heals.

In the final redemptive dive, he has a chance to save Zelda where he failed before.

It's so fucking satisfying and amazingly kino I don't know how Nintendo will ever top it.

The problem isn't the idea. The problem is the execution. Save the Princess stories aren't new and neither are stories of healing. The problem is that the meat of the journey makes no sense and events range from implausible to chronologically impossible.

So you just like the fact Zelda was a damsel in distress once again. Ok

Save the Princess stories aren't new

Pretty fucking rare nowadays. Also rare to see a game promoting healthy relationships between non-mentally ill, heterosexual white people.

I'll take those wins.

based and true

TotK is the worst Zelda game yet

The curtains were fucking blue

It's bad, but it's not Skyward Sword bad that retroactively ruins OTHER Zeldas as well.

TotK is the best Zelda game yet.

god what a faggot
people who talk you this look like this

le lore

I don't know how they explain Hyrule changing from game to game. The region must be high geographically unstable given how Death Mountain moves around.

onions right

Age of Calamity Impa is best girl and there is no argument otherwise

Man, Paya is so cute.

You sound like a tranny.

He's a famous millionaire and married with kids. What have you done besides shitpost on 4chink?

I used to prefer Ages over Season then realized after a replay that all the Zora swimming crap of the former was too much of a slog.

It's asinine how much reusing Breath of the Wild's world hurts the game, both narratively and gameplay wise.

Just traversing the overworld in Ages was a slog.
Wasn't fantastic in Seasons either, but it was better.

token space aliens with godlike magical powers

They're just Zelda's version of Namekians.

Why are you replying to yourself?

James was playing a character the whole time

anon took it seriously

Nintendo did have a lore doc that they followed up until Skyward Sword and the Dark Horse fanfics were released.
It probably wasn't super detailed, but they did have an idea for how the continuity was supposed to work until they eventually just gave up and let the fans handle it instead.

Yet you can't name a better adventure game on any system.

This

See

Anyone can, but then you’d just cry and refuse to admit Queers on the Dingdong has some serious shortcomings.

one minute apart

It literally never did. There’s some sequel tie in stuff with direct sequels and there’s a lot of callbacks and references to older games but there is no cohesive narrative between games in the series and the timeline is completely made up bull shit. The best you can say is

Adventure of Link is a direct sequel to Legend of Zelda

Ocarina of Time is a prequel to Link to the Past

Majora’s Mask is a direct sequel to Ocarina of Time

Link’s Awakening is an implied sequel to Link to the Past

Oracle of Ages/Seasons is a prequel to Link’s Awakening

Wind Waker is a sloppy half-assed sequel to Ocarina of Time

Both Minish Cap and Skyward Sword are origin stories that contradict each other

Link Between Worlds is a sequel to Link to the Past

Breath of the Wild and it’s direct sequel Tears of the Kingdom are stand alone continuities

Nintendo straight up has never cared about this shit and I actually don’t mind for the most part

Paya's granny looks like THIS?!

Yeah the goats are an allegory for Blacks and elves are "snowbunnys". You won't catch me defending this shit

Caring too much results in stories like megaman, which feel like they are literally just treading water.

Okay. Now skip to the part where you tell me how much you söypogged at all those heckin’ unrelated past game references haphazardly crammed into UbiZelda’s TOTALLY SEPARATE continuity

The fact Goat man is played straight is just odd

even BotW was better since the shrines had some actually good puzzles instead of the toddler level spatial awareness challenges in TotK

See

multiple clearly defined continuities

multiple of them tell fully fleshed out stories with a beginning, middle, and end

Unless your some kind of mong who thinks Mega Man is just Mega Man Classic than you’re fucking retarded.

Skyward Sword already ruined Zelda lore. TotK ain't that bad

The last good Zelda game was Twilight Princess.

ftfy

Nah, X absolutely feels like recycling it's plot too much. Mavericks sigma repeat

At least Skyward Sword had a few good dungeons.

Delusional gibberish.

But it's still funny to see schizos now admit BotW was a masterpiece after seething about it everyday for 8 years, just so they can have a game to compete with TotK. Because nothing else can.

Gigantic Goat Cocks
GGC.
Zelda loves them.

It's rare to see a simple old fashioned love story between two white heterosexual characters

That was Skyward Sword, anon. TotK takes the OoT philosophy of heavily implying one relationship but leaving it up to individual player imagination and preferences

It is the worst in everything lmao

Did Skyward sword promote race mixing and erasing whites?

Get the fuck off of Anon Babble Synthetic Man

glorified BOTW expansion, cheaptendo without a Wii U buffer is nothing

Anon Babble absolutely loves BotW after release

defends it from any criticism for years

TotK comes out

same exact game as the previous but Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolt edition

Anon Babble hates it

Make this make sense

masterpiece

He didn't say that. He just said it was better

Why does NuZelda have so many hot bitches?

the sole shrine chest gives you 5 arrows as a reward

she's actually retarded

no argument

6 years for super mediocre sequel with some outright bad things like The Depths and how easy it is to just break the build system.

What’s not to get? 6 years would’ve gotten us an all new world to explore with mechanics it was built around making use of for any other game series.

commited the cardinal sin of being fucking boring.

Why would people be happy about buying the same game twice

i cant believe how washed out this game looks. do people really think these nuzelda games are "beautiful"? that filter is egregious

Let me tell you about the imprisoning war...

TOTK is the exact same game but with an added crafting mechanic.

Talking about Your threads?
Sametrannying won't save you

The Zonai are so dumb they forgot their own origins

What did the writers even do for six years?

See

You're a low IQ retard if you think that's the reward you are getting from the shrine. But yes I was always happy to find more arrows.

They were hired at the last minute.

Real Answer

It was outsource

Other Answer

Purah, Mineru, and Riju designs came down from the art team and they were too busy jacking off to finish a story proper.

This Nintendo toddler is fuming

She says this in YEAR NINE of BotW seething and YEAR THREE of TotK seething.

Both these games are cemented in history as two of the most acclaimed and successful games of all time. Keep crying on 4chinkz.

Zelda only had a "loose" timeline for several games following Ocarina of Time. Majora's is a direct sequel, but Twilight and Wind Waker clearly reference Ocarina as well as very "distant" technical sequels.
At most though, several Zelda games are directly related to eachother in that they are basically direct sequels (ALTTP/Oracles/Awakening. OoT/Majoras. BotW/TotK. WW/ST etc) several reference OoT and I think that's about really it.
The "official timeline" is 100% bullshit and doesn't even make sense in terms of the context of the "hints" in the games. Lancun is the only one that ever made a convincing time line imo.

Of course. Otherwise he wouldn't be mass replying to every post.

Why are you replying to yourself?

I don't really care about Zelda "lore" because it's all a bunch on nonsense anyway, but it was dumb to redo the Imprisoning War story again and overall they really need to let go of Ganondorf. Just keep him as a human who turned into Ganon a long time ago. Then there's how they seemingly want to tease little things like the hero of the past or whatever when it's not like anything really matters because it'll get erased or disregarded in the future anyway.

I’d be willing to be to outright just call TP a sequel to OoT given that The Hero of Time is a character in it, and it’s a story about his great-great grandson and his living fleshlight.

What is bizarre is how it's a direct sequel, yet clearly contradicts all the lore about Zonai in BotW lmao.

Breath of the Wild*

They needed techno-monks again because coming up with something that wasn’t just BotW’s progression system again with Lego stapled on was too much work.

The timeline makes even less sense because OOT's time travel works on a closed loop continuity. Wind Waker and Twilight Princess assumes that OOT had a split timeline continuity, which is contradictory.

Trying to maintain lore is what's killing the series. It's like saying Super Mario lote matters. Bro, just make a fun game.

I think Nintendo was trying to make TOTK into a nu-ALTTP in how they made BOTW a nu-Zelda 1.

They did neither with TotK though. They made a slog with a shitty story and lore.

There isn't a timeline, it's just a bunch of games that are sometimes sequels or prequels to each other

That's called a timeline dumbass

im glad fags like you are dying off

I wouldn't say ruined. It was just another poor effort in a long line of nonsensical shit that began with OoT

Shut up Jebediah

merely pretending

always love this bit

t. Hero is synonymous with Protagonist, Villain synonymous with Antagonist

How the fuck do people go through life without learning what the fuck words mean?

In the long time Zelda veteran community, many of us find no redeeming qualities in BotW let alone the piece of shit that is TotK.

Genocide all Koroks

Post your collection

fpbp and it becomes more obvious with each passing game

It was ok. Only thing that sucks about new lore is that the only goddess now is Hylia and that's fucking boring.

My headcanon is that Goddess Hylia is the gestalt of the other three goddesses, representing the completed Triforce.

I believe SS has the worst lore, because it introduced Hylia

Every time a new Zelda game out since literally the first one and until BotW, the devs explained in interviews how it fit together with the others. The games themselves also make it obvious to anyone who isn't too retarded to pay attention.

For some reason there has always been retards like you who insist this is not the case. I say "some reason" but the reason is simply the bell curve of intelligence.

I dislike it because it sets up the same Link/Zelda/Ganon shit every single game. It's boring and predicable.

I got bored with BOTW and never finished it, the only game in the series I had this happen with aside from 2 due to not really enjoying it as a kid.

I was cautiously optimistic when TOTK was announced, hoping it would address some of the issues I had, but when they showed the trailer with the cart building mechanic my interest dropped off the deep end and I've not played a single Zelda game since and have zero interest in the series now.

Gues that's just how it goes some times.

If it was supposedly so great the first time around why wouldn’t it be just as good the second time?

Posts like this always show that the people who think the timeline is nonsense are just too retarded to understand it or didn't pay attention but are too petulant to shut up about it.

The ending of Ocarina of Time is blatantly not a closed loop because Zelda sends Link back to before he first met Zelda, with the knowledge of what happens in the future, and the Triforce of Courage still on his hand. Twilight Princess references this with the story that Ganondorf was thwarted and arrested.

All the in-game time travel at the Temple of Time is a closed loop, but that was never what the split timeline was about.

Zelda and Sonia suspect Ganondorf

They agree to meet him alone in a secluded area

By the end of TotK I wanted 'Dorf to win.

also ruined purah

Wind Waker can't happen if the timeline is a closed loop.

Someone forgot to take his pills.

I just don't consider it canon
