People want to feel like the games they've played for decades are connected, that there's some over-arcing story behind the whole thing, ESPECIALLY since the early games in the series did have connected stories.

It would be pretty fucking easy to do this, but Nintendo is distinguished mentally-challenged.

The disregard for continuity is a big reason why I don't give a fuck about Zelda anymore.

oh lawd

Just tell me you're not going to start losing your shit over Zelda continuity like you did with Avatar, Willco, etc.

aka the nintendo template! (well... for two series... nevermind)

So all their franchises then?

Zelda on decline, kinda b tier franchise really. I'd expect less of it in the future. Pokemon and Mario are arguably all they exploit on a consistent basis.

I don't much care for gaf bashing because for every percentage of fucktards there's usually an equal or better percentage of pushback.

However, the Zelda threads are rampant with continuity/timeline halfwit mouthbreathers and its driving me crazy.

I mad.

Complaining about TSA or someone else?

EVERY-OOOOONNNNEEE
Or just fucking about. Its like those bozos who argue over the Kremlings changing motivations throughout the Country games or what parallels they symbolically represent in the real world or whether Cranky Kong is OG Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong is REALLY Donkey Kong Jr. Seriously? Really? People play games for stories? NINTENDO games for STORIES? What went wrong in their life? Who did what to you in High School, son? It's not too late to stop the bullshit and stop making MY MY MY internet a terrible place for ME ME ME.

FUCK

Since Zelda takes itself more seriously than Donkey Kong I pay attention to that stuff more. And the references to other games do, in general, enhance my experience while playing it.

I DON'T want it to become fricking FF13 or anything. What it does now is completely fine. Thicker story threads than most of Nintendo's other franchises without devolving into melodramatic, overwrought FF or MGS BS.

Quote from: AWESOM-O on October 09, 2011, 07:22:10 PM

And no, I haven't even played a Zelda game in years. I'm just a fan of world-building and storytelling in general, and I hate to see potential go to waste. Zelda did have one of the more interesting videogame mythologies until Nintendo decided they didn't care about that aspect of the series.

The mythology is there and present in every game. Just because the individual games usually aren't strongly connected and recycling the exact game characters* every game doesn't mean Nintendo abandons it every game. We never would have gotten Wind Waker if Nintendo had set out to make OoT 2, 3, 4, etc. TP gets enough heat as it is for just taking place in non-submerged Hyrule.

* Different Links, Zeldas etc. are different characters.

Quote from: AWESOM-O on October 10, 2011, 01:04:24 AM

I know they're different Links, different Zeldas, etc. I saw the story as taking place across hundreds of years and multiple generations, with Ganon as the immortal villain who keeps reappearing for the next Link to face.

One of the next Zelda titles should really end with the world getting flooded though.

Nah, there's really no need for that. It's a neat idea, but WW's intro specifically state that only happened because there was no Link.

Anyone I know who went into law referred to their college as "Law School" and nothing more. Apparently "Law School" is very prestigious, to the point where it doesn't need a full name, like Cher.
