listen, I know it’s a personal problem of mine, but they drive me up the wall with how obtuse they are about the lore. like if they never released the timeline maybe my brain wouldn’t be so stuck on this need for internal consistency but idk

I wonder why people just can’t accept that it is a reboot that has nothing to do with the old games whatsoever…

I don’t care what they “say” about the timeline, what they “do” is treat most Zelda entries like Final Fantasy: shared assets but disconnected other than that (excluding direct sequels, which even FF has).
Until they “do” something different, they can “say” whatever they want.

I never care about the timeline because its obviously all a lie

I don’t have that much of an issue with BoTW and ToTK ignoring aspects of the timeline given that it’s a soft reboot to an extent.
The far more severe issue that Tears of the Kingdom’s writing has in this regard is how it fails to follow up the preexisting lore and storytelling in Breath of the Wild in a satisfying manner or how it even contradicts it at times – which is a pretty big issue when Tears of the Kingdom is supposed to be a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild. I’ve said this before, but the excuse that Nintendo gave for the Sheikah technology disappearing in ToTK and everyone inexplicably forgetting about it feels genuinely baffling and nonsensical – it’s like the player is being punished for paying attention to Breath of the Wild’s lore.
