npub1z06laf0rhhwzd7h0y303hfp6e7r29e8p6vyl2yr7nv5uefdgtcfslny3q9 (npub1z06…y3q9) some of the stuff in BotW can be either easily overlooked or explained. Like the Rito and Zora existing at the same time, there are reasons for each timeline that could have happened without a merge. The Zonai could have been a couple different pre-existing races.
TotK introduced a shit ton of new stuff while also trying to rely on old stuff for veterans and none of it melded well. BotW had a huge amount of stuff that could be linked back to the older games in lots of different ways, and I think a lot of us were hoping that TotK would take some of those routes but it sort of just.... left it all hanging. Which kind of just proves that they were never really routes to begin with, more likely they were just references all along without any real meaning behind them.
Like, why tf does Zelda use the power of the Triforce at the end of BotW and then we NEVER see it again??? wtf is that all about??
But then you have stuff in TotK like the whole dragon thing and the deus ex machina ending that's just really, really poor writing imo. I don't think there's anything like that in BotW. The storytelling made a lot more sense in that game too, since Link legitimately had amnesia and it was 100 years later so of course nobody would really know him except for people that were alive back then. But TotK only some major characters from BotW know who he is. Most of the cast is totally oblivious. It's a very bad sequel.
