I feel really stupid asking this but how do you sort by controversial? I hit the sort button but none of them says controversial. I'm using piefed app. Sorry I'm new here.
And the conflicts that do happen, happen at the behest the US and in the interest of US corporations. And the US has control over the narrative surrounding the conflict.
The series become increasingly linear starting with Zelda 2 until BOTW. The first game hides a bunch of stuff in the world and then gives you clues to find them and you can tackle them in any order you figure out the puzzles in. The wizards and witches give you cryptic hints, whereas the later games are just straight up like "hey go here, touch this item to this thing". It's super liberating to live and die by my own intuition.
I wasn't old enough to have played the OG Zelda when it launched, but I recently played it. It is still an unbelievable masterpiece to this day. It accomplishes things that Zeldas that came after didn't. It's my second favorite Zelda of all time.
Nice work Canada!
