            I doubt it

            It's very obviously a combo of two things.
            Making Link stand out more against a now mostly green backdrop and making his new default look generic enough that you'll be more incentivized to use the various pieces of gear.
            If he had the green tunic from the start then swapping it out for a climbing set would feel more like in terms of looks.
            That's why the green tunic is like the last outfit you get in the entire game and also one of the best ones.

            As other Anons have said, it was to make him stand out against the vegetation, as well as signalling that this was a big departure from the regular Zelda formula.

            But also: Whoever is in charge of the game right now didn't like the green tunic and especially the hat. He thought it was stupid and believes it will never look good. He did say that the original Hero's tunic was green, but it just didn't look good to them and liked the blue more, so they changed it.

They at least make for a more interesting npc race than Koroks as they're more neutral or actually side with Ganon on some occasions rather than just being goody-goody can do no wrong Koroks. The most you'd get out of a mean or passive aggressive race nowadays is the Gerudo and that's just because they don't want men in their town.

        They really are much more well designed and interesting than either the Kokiri or Koroks with the neat plant "hair" and clothing. Since Dekus tend to be a bit more mischievous and distrusting of outsiders anyway it opens up more interesting stories about Link getting in trouble with them at first because they become friends instead of him always being the hero who gets along with everyone.

      Deku scrubs would've fit better in BotW/TotK. Koroks were only ever popular because Princess Mononoke had recently come out, and they felt new and unique at the time. Now they just feel like a lazy childhood rehash.

            being a cuck is when you watch someone frick your partner. your partner selling lewd pictures online is not even remotely the same thing.
            when I was growing up people would brag about having supermodel and pornstar wives. like you're literally calling someone a cuck for having a partner so hot that they can make money just from being hot.

            The only reference to a "fishless sea" is from the scuba diver treasure hunter guys. No idea if it's a mistranslation though because there clearly are creatures in the sea in Wind Waker

                there's no functional difference besides them looking scary and being aggressive. they are fishlike, and judging by chuchus which are also monsters, they are both edible and healthy for you.

          Medli is the only Rito with a confirmed Zora ancestor. For what it matters, there is also a Rito in WW who is decisively stated to be descended from the Running Man/Postman of OOT-MM; a Hylian. So even if some Rito had Zora ancestors, others had Hylian ancestors; so they're probably a mixed bag from most peoples who took Rito form rather then the 'X' turned into the 'Y'.

            and we know Hylians and Zora can breed from Twilight Princess also. So it could be the OoT postman fricked a fish and his grandson turned into a bird. We also now know from ToTK that there are additional Zora domains outside Hyrule's, so you know, a lot of things could have happened

    They were only created in the first place to emphasize the theme of growing up in OoT. Link would eventually need to abandon them and become an adult while they would just be children forever. In the new games that don't have this young/adult Link dichotomy they serve no purpose.

    • 10 months ago
      Anonymous

      I think partly this, and my personal head-canon: The Kokiri were 'children' metaphorically, and Link saw them as children, but they were always forest spirits just like the fairies. Link was an infant abandoned in the forest during the civil war, and seeming like him was the only way for him to believe he was Kokiri himself.

    • 10 months ago

      This hits close to the real issue. OoT was made with that sort of theme in mind whereas every 3D Zelda since has been made as a reaction to OoT. Everything from MM on up to ToTK is either trying to be similar to or different from OoT more than simply trying to be its own thing. So you end up with OoT derivatives instead of anything wholly original.

            I agree, recognizing fully that there's an element of nostalgia driving my preference. As much as I've enjoyed some of the games that have come since, and as great a job as BotW does at capturing the large-scale exploration that was intended behind the original LoZ, nothing will ever come close to the gameplay, atmosphere, and lore of the N64 Zelda games

          In fantasy settings "Lilliputian/fay folk" characters are typically considered magic specialists, specifically imbuing it into articles of clothing.

          They could've been enchanters who gave your weapons desired effect boosts instead of waiting for rng to give you what you wanted, (diamond effect for example).

          They're also known for unconventional farming due to their small stature, so they could've been a source for rare materials if you didn't want to fight or search the land for 30 minutes.

    Cause Nintendo always tries to make Zelda original rather than relying on played out fantasy tropes.
    This is why Gorons and Zora exist in OoT rather than the more traditional dwarves and high elves.
    The Kokiri stuck out as being far more standard than the other races in Hyrule, so when Wind Waker came up with the Koroks it was a win since it was a much more out there concept than just "normal people but kids in the forest"
    Now why did they never do anything about the Gerudo...? Probably afraid of being called racist plus they'd have to change Ganon's backstory.

        Did TotK add more traditional fantasy races or elements to the lore that I'm not aware of? Obviously the Zonai are stand-ins for the typical super advanced ancient race but they still have the typical Zelda flourish.

                You implied that having the 7 magical mcguffins was purely a marvel thing. You see them strewn through tons of stories from lord of the rings to sonic the hedgehog.
                And for characters recognising link, you have the entire central settlement for starters. Other characters make reference in recognition of your name. I've only done the zora part so far but the entire area seems very familiar with who you are and what you've done.

                Again nta, but the entire point of the Zora in BoTW is that Link grew up among them and they all knew you because they age like elves. Of course they still know you in Tears because it's part of his backstory, about the only thing we know of him pre-Zelda.

                nta but Tears only recognizes main story quests you've done, side quest and former side quest NPCs outside of Lookout Landing have no idea who you are. This is especially bad in Hateno considering the implication that you and Zelda lived there, it's just Simon who knows you because they can guarantee that you met Purah and him as part of the main plot of BoTW.

                I think it's also important to remember that all that Sheikah tech is basically what caused the apocalypse so they probably don't want stuff like that lying around 5-6 years after Ganon's been destroyed.
                That said it's no secret that TotK has to write around a lot of eggshells cause the game still has to be made in a way that it can be understood by people who never played BotW, so that's likely the primary reason they're gone.

    I always thought the Kokiri take on the form that the Deku Tree decides, given they are referred to as the spirits of the forest and how they distinctly faded into view unlike everything else in the game.
    The Tree wanted the child that was left to him to fit in, so decided the spirits should look like kids. That tree died and the sprout continued watching the forest. By the time of Wind Waker the tree needed a new way for the forest to grow, Koroks able to blend with nature and with flight akin to sycamore seeds were the choice since no Hylians were anywhere near.
    There could well be a game in the future that has multiple Deku trees, one with a forest of Koroks and another of Kokiri.

      The Kokiri were forced to evolve into flying Koroks once the sages flooded Hyrule in the adult timeline

        Also the Kokiri left the forest to go to Lon Lon Ranch and probably begun aging normally, some probably even left the forest forever like Mido who couldn't stand being an incel chud in Link's shadow.

    The Rito and Zora both have a good variety in appearances in BotW/TotK.

          You're just pulling this straight out of your ass. With BOTW/TOTK they did a soft reboot that doesn't care to adhere to any previous game or timeline arc, because the developers felt like it. They aren't turbo autists who want you to overanalyze and scour every detail for any possible connection to old lore, nor do they give a frick about those kinds of fans. They're developers doing a job who wanted to do their own thing from a clean slate. I'm disappointed botw/totk aren't good Zelda games, mediocre as frick IMO, but that's a different story.

        Hylia sucks dick but I like that they're moving from the Triforce. One thing I hated about Skyward Sword was how the Triforce tied Link, Zelda and Ganon into those roles permanently. BotW looked like they were gonna move from that but alas. I still hope for a neutral Ganondorf or a Zelda that's sharp and rash. Something to mix things up outside moving away from the Ocarina formula.

        There's also no reason why you can't have Kokiri, Deku Scrubs and Koroks all in the same game.

          While nebulously intentional, TP puts in some pretty clear subtext that there's something "off" about Din from the way Ganon is just blessed with the Triforce of Power.

          They were tied into those roles since the first game. OoT and LttP are games all about the Triforce. Just because SS had shitty lore doesn't mean that the Triforce should be dismissed altogether.
          The Triforce is the MOST important thing in the series and predates even the Master Sword. It is the literal providence of the world. For god's sake, play the games.

              The Triforce has always been used as a magic relic. By LttP, it was established as the source of the world's providence.
              Still doesn't change that the Triforce ties Link, Zelda and Ganon together since the very first two games in the series.
              Zelda had the Triforce of Wisdom, which is why Ganon kidnaps her
              Ganon already had power.
              Link gets the Triforce of Courage by Zelda II.
              Again, dismissing the Triforce, the very symbol of the series, is wrong. It has always been the most important artefact in the series and it's iconography can be seen everywhere.

          That's not entirely true though. Skyward Sword and onwards seem intent on making Link just "some guy" while Ganon and Zelda are like Amaterasu and Susanoo having their little god quarreland Link just happens to be on her side.

          Even TotK does this. There's a courage Dragon and both Zelda and Ganondorf takes turns huffing magic goat farts while Link is just...there.

          It wasn't the Triforce that did that. The Triforce was used in that game to kill the Imprisoned (Demise in that weird ugly form) and that was it. No, what tied Link/Zelda/Ganon together was the karmic cycle that Demise speaks about before dying that continiously spawns Ganondorf over and over in order to try to take over the world.

    Fire temple is the absolute lowest point of the game for me, it's just a poorly designed boring unfun place.

      I also think one of them is a literal furgay, considering what they did to the Rito, how every prominent Rito NPC is a male, and how they added a prominent goat furry male as the founder of Hyrule and ancestor of Zelda.

      Dude. They look exactly like humans/hylians with bird features despite coming from fish people. Even if you buy the whole "can't live in saltwater" thing (also stupid, river zoras have been a thing for longer than the OoT zoras), that part makes 0 sense.

        Nigget it's literally divine intervention not actual evolution of a species, how they end up looking matters not because it's literally what the gods willed.
        The point was to take everyone out of the bottom of the ocean and river Zora's have been monsters more than they have been NPCs.

            It will get close to nothing because virtually anything you'd want to do with Zelda from the 64 can be backported into OoT without much issue and OoT just makes for a far better base for mods.

            Having said that we'll likely get a flood of mods for OoT soon because a bunch of hackers are fed up with the main devs and how long they're taking to make certain kind of mods possible, so people are figuring out ways to import data from decomp to allow scene editing

      OOT and MM both have amazing and distinct art. Definitely among the best overall.
      The most notable artstyle the series had to me will always be TP's, because it looks so much better on paper than in motion and I've always felt like we were sort of robbed.

          Source "I was there." They talked up how ungodly long that game was going to be specifically because it was going to be the last of the "Link to the Past" style games, they wanted it packed full so it'd make a good sendoff. I'm not your Google secretary, look it up yourself if you want to.

            It might go understated nowadays because back then everyone's immediate response was "bull fricking shit" and it's only with hindsight on our side and the BotW train running full steam that it turned out to be completely true.

        I don't mean in terms of gameplay. I meant you know, even basic elements of the series, such as the Triforce, the Gods, Ganondorf, everything has been retconned into oblivion.

          A lot of people are coping by trying to fit BoTW/Tears into it somehow by having BoTW be part of some Buddhist circular history shit and Tear's goat fricker history happening between SS and MC (the two earliest games in the timeline.)
