I realize on an intellectual level I live in a world where Zelda games are revered for some reason. Don't play them, can't stand console/j- rpg's and don't know anyone that plays them but especially online they seem to be the Alpha and Omega. THAT's why this is such a big thing, you can't compare games but to surpass the ultimate internet fanboy dream game by just making a great RPG is ballsy and just what gaming needed right now.
This is such a hot take I didn't know I shared.
Zelda games aren't bad by any stretch, in fact they seem great. But they're treated as sacred to an extent I'll never understand.
imagine Larian keeps putting out banger after banger for decades... that's why Zelda is revered.
Exactly. How many games are even in the Zelda franchise at this point? Like 20?
Probably because they fill a niche that very few other games do.
