as a big fan of Zelda, what do you wish the next installments would do in terms of their races/factions?
I think BotW/ToTK gave majority of their races a pretty solid foundation to build off of.
Rito I think could expand their cultures and designs depending on the regions of Hyrule they inhabit, like if they are more seaside based, it’s a lot more birds inspired by Seagulls, Puffins, Albatrosses, etc, wearing designs that reflect the more airy attire one would wear in beach climates.
Gorons definitely need more going on besides eat rock, sell rocks and mine rocks. I’d love to see more that do things like onsen building like they did in death mountain but in other regions, fortifying structures or foundations for their neighboring regions, or even something silly like Dodongo ranchers.
The Gerudo seem so homebound that every single of them must return to the city when they come of age, and don only Gerudo bejeweled attire. For a faction that seems fashion forward, I want to see some take on designs from the other factions, especially those that decide to stay in the other kingdoms, like imagine Gerudo inspired Zora Armor, or a Gerudo tag teaming mining operations with the Goron, in their own specialized gear, or heck Gerudo hunters doing ground scouting for the Rito, in camouflage like attire, they have the MOST potential.
Zora, I don’t really have any notes on, except, gimme more of the OoT style Zora, since they seem to be one race that changes appearance a lot based on which waters they come from. So gimme them boys back.
Koroks, knowing they are also the Kokiri, can we not have both? Like make the Koroks that roam Hyrule to plant trees and such the little tree lads to protect themselves from the different climates, and then those who stay in the forest can be either or, or even have the Kokiri be like, their own little sages and protectors of the forests.
I thought about this a lot-
