At some point I’ll write something about the archaeology of Breath of the Wild, which I find fascinating, but for now I want to bring all this Zelda talk a bit closer to the day job and talk about writing systems.Īs I mentioned in my previous post, the Zelda series has always placed game mechanics and fun over world-building and internal consistency. As anyone who’s glanced at a video games review site recently will know, it’s very, very good. Well, that came out five weeks ago now, and I’m still playing it. I wrote a little while ago about the storytelling of the Legend of Zelda games, flushed with excitement for the then-forthcoming latest instalment ‘Breath of the Wild’.
