#they're perfectly fine as their own thing and since it is technically not a fangame i can appreciate its writing more

[doomed-era]

thinking about it i absolutely like zelda fics that lean harder into the darker aspects of zelda and have a more serious tone but if i was playing say a zelda fangame i'd be incredibly picky about its tone and dialogue. it's part of the reason i've never played a fangame i just don't think people pay a lot of attention to how zelda dialogue is constructed and just how simplistic/silly it is so they wouldn't be able to recreate it

#i was watching cutscenes of the cdi zelda spiritual successor that was what prompted this #they're absolutely amazing but they're like. somewhat uncanny to me #they're perfectly fine as their own thing and since it is technically not a fangame i can appreciate its writing more #its very silly #but if it was trying to be zelda cdi then i would probably be a little weirded out #not because anyone is out of character but because the rhythm of the dialogue is just ever so slightly off #i think people really underestimate the importance of tone and dialogue #idk im getting very pedantic here #glider rambles
