yeah

i like tears of the kingdom moderately, i like some aspects of the story, i like the vibes, but man, sometimes i think back to breath of the wild and i get sad about how tears of the kingdom kind of replaced it and essentially erased the story of breath of the wild (and age of calamity to some extent), it's always mentioned as some kind of vague side note on the rare occasions it is mentioned in tears of the kingdom, as if none of breath of the wild's story and world mattered in the end. the hope of a sequel was always to expand on breath of the wild but tears of the kingdom just feels like this alternate universe instead. which isn't really bad i guess (but to be fair it was marketed as a sequel, so you can imagine my disappointment...funny because people blew up when age of calamity wasn't the exact events of the calamity but for some reason it's fine for tears of the kingdom to not exactly be what it's advertised as). but damn i'm nostalgic for breath of the wild and the impact it had on my life and on gaming in general in the 2010s and it's sad i'm just ready for a brand new zelda entirely unrelated to this series of games because i'm fatigued of where it went in the end. really hoping they take a different and better direction and not just put out what will essentially be tears of the kingdom 2 in disguise
