    That’s kind of my point. in BOTW and TOTK, the story is thin on the ground.

    Literally. It’s thin, and it’s on the ground.

    I’ve watched streamers who played BOTW first then play earlier games, and reacted with surprise at how much lore was in them.

        I mean, that game contains the in-universe creation myth, the origin story of the series’ main villain, the establishment of four recurring in-universe races of people, and a host of ideas they’re still riffing on to this day…but this is Lemmy, no non-existent homoerotica will be left uninvented.

            (Funny thing is, most of that is from ALttP’s manual. If you haven’t, go find it and read it, the first 4 or 5 pages read like a design document for the rest of the series)
