But damn that one exposition dump you get from the old guy at the beginning, I literally nodded off. I couldn't wait for that guy to stfu so I could get back to throwing bombs at goblins.

The main narrative issue with this game is the lack of structure. They need to lore dump because once you've got the glider there's zero guarantee you'll ever get narrative again

You should check the serial number of the old switch your brother gave you against this chart to see if you can easily hack it and fill it with pirated games.

Yeah, that's the thing

Game is all about fuckin' around, doing puzzles, and smacking moblins

The story is solid M-E-H

Relinquish your Switch. You have rendered yourself undeserving.

Oh geez sorry I, as a communist, doesn't care about what a fucking monarch is saying. I just woke up from a coma and a king and ghost princess are telling me how to restore their feudalistic kingdom? How do I know you're actually the good guys? Maybe your kingdom fell apart due to inbreeding and corruption and not the spooky ghost dragon you're blaming it all on.

Narodnik post. Firstly, the means of production aren't developed enough yet. Secondly, Ganon is a greater imperialist power so your revolutionary defeatism is just ultra-opportunism.

Read theory. Watch cutscenes.

There are laser shooting robot spiders, I think the means of production is there.

Also I have no idea where Ganon is from so Idk if he's an imperialist threat. Plus I'm literally following the orders of a monarch directly, that's different than struggling alongside them because we recognize a great common enemy.

I'm sorry did you just as a communist on the internet to CALM DOWN about over-analyzing the world building of a video game? DID YOU SERIOUSLY DO THAT?!?!?!

You'll just have to venture across the land, talking to the various peoples that inhabit it and solving their problems

I will become of the Che of Hyrule

If you pirate the DLC you can even do it on a motorcycle

Just mash A to skip it all

Like literally you don't have to read any of it

You forgot to equip the all-night mask. The sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, is also pretty fun.

If you like tactics RPGs, Three Houses is pretty great silly-liberator
