I do genuinely believe that the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (and arguably the Zelda franchise as a whole, though i myself have played literally none of these games) is closer to fitting the description of ‘Tolkien-esque Fantasy’ than most other movies/shows/games/books etc that claim that label
Like, compare this post by tumblr user wufflesvetinari, which makes an important point about Tolkien’s worldbuilding, and also lives in my head rent free:

and then these quotes from Jacob Geller’s “Every Zelda is the Darkest Zelda”

and his conclusions about the messages in Zelda games are thematically very similar to the through-lines about friendship and love in LOTR, and what a lot of authors miss about what makes a fantasy story personal and memorable:

“A world without joy and humor isn’t a compelling world to fight for” is exactly why there are so many pieces of fantasy media out there that just feel like carbon copies of each other (i’ve seen many posts that explain this better than I can though I can’t find any specific ones at the moment, just know that I didn’t invent this thesis). You’ve got the cool swords, you’ve got the wizards and the spells and the battles, but first and foremost you need the LOVE.

Part of the reason that I can't take Ganondorf being irredeemably evil too seriously is because as soon as he steps out of his canon setting he turns into a complete dork. It's that darn Hyrule poisoning his mind I'm telling you.

I really REALLY want a Zelda playable game that isn’t a spin off. Like, a genuine well made game where you can play as Zelda and her goddess powers shine through in her swordsmanship that’d be SO COOL (just ignore the fact Link literally face plants into the past btw he’s totally fine)

this render is so fucking funny like he’s one sec away from obliterating the viewer and there’s nothing you can do about it.
not to mention the big ass step he has to take to counterbalance the weight of the ball.

he’s got such a shit eating grin about it too. what a menace.
