[oot] It's kind of crazy how big links kit was in ocarina of time and Majora's mask.
It feels like the his arsenal consistently shrunk since then, no more apparent than his music kit. Dude had a full pentatonic scale you could detune by moving the joystick. By windwaker it was just a wand that had to be played in time then by twighlight you had to just howl along.
Dude had ice arrows, fire arrows, could breath underwater there were full underwater mechanics bro can't even swim half the time these days. You mean to tell me this kid surrounded by water in windwaker and can't swim for more than a few seconds? Where are the parents? Terrible parenting aside.
You get a hammer, bombs, boots that let you float, the big beautiful hook shot that let link fly across the screen like Batman which twighlight brought back in a beautiful way.
Masks that straight let you transform and roll like sonic the hedgehog and swim like Aquaman. And a mask that let you blow yourself up. Even one that let you talk to dogs. And another that let you smell people's underwear for mushrooms.
Little by little they have erroded our boys kit now he's wandering around looking for sticks trying not to drown. (Definitely amazing in its own way totk/botw are masterpieces but I miss the hook shot)
