No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I didn't intend it to be a direct comparison. It's just that both are similar in that the games tend to be standalone experiences rather than sequential. They share certain characters, themes, and archetypes, but you can pick up any game and play it on its own.
In spite of my username, I actually haven't played LoZ since Wind Waker, though I did enjoy that one a lot
I get it, sorry if i was a bit rash.
But what really pisses me off about current Zelda is the incredible amount of missed oportunities it has.
Like, why can't we customize Link? (And if we can't, why don't they give him an actual dialog?)
Why can't we have mainstream titles with playable characters other than Link?
It's those kinds of things that prevents me from giving Skyward Sword and everything that came after a proper chance.
I love ALL Classic Zelda (yes, even Zelda 2 and the CD-i games for all the wrong reasons xD)
Not only the gameplay was fun, but you could see the developers really gave their best considering the limitations of their time.
Windwaker and Twilight Princess are... odd special cases.
The 2000s was a experimental era, and let's be honest, Nintendo shot themselves in the leg by limiting the Gamecube to 1.4GB size discs.
But once the Wii arrived there really was no reason to keep on the same "silent yet uncustomizable" main character trope.
I like videogames when they are fun, yes.
But showing a good, creative design is also a big part of the inmersion for me.
And that seems to be the last thing on the list for Modern Zelda.
People will say that Breath of the Wild had beautiful graphics and was wonderful design.
And to a point, they're right.
But when i see Windwaker, Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild side to side i can't avoid to think that they feel a bit... same-y.
I'm not saying i want a realistic Zelda, but again, i would either a customizable, path branching Zelda game, OR a Zelda game where Link has something other than button inputs on the script.
