I can assure you tho, when they said everything is canon, this time they did fully mean it!!

there ARE a few characters that are not spoken of in TOTK in AoI, but i won't go into that bc spoilers.

I can p safely say the only thing that still doesn't make sense is how Zelda is related to Rauru and Sonia when they didn't seem to have children, but i wasn't expecting an answer to that lol

There isnt' like, full backgrounds for all of them, but i'd say what IS there is roughly the same as the BOTW champions imo, considering i watched a cut up playthru, so there's likely some stuff i didnt see. AoI is also fully canon, unlike AoC, so things flow effortlessly into what we already know,+

(and sorry for the essay lmao zelda is my special interest and im fresh off watching the ending of AOI so i have Thoughts)

If you're unsure of if you want to get the game, Pointcrow uploaded his cut down full playthru, or you can find the first vod of his playthru and watch a few hours to help you decide, but if you like Warriors games and enjoyed AOC, you'll probably like AOI, if you have the money to spare.

There's just no efficient, effortless way to merge the story of two characters in completely different times into an open world game like TOTK where both characters are doing important things 'at the same time'. This was the only real way to do it, and they did it fantastically. +

Trying to fit both of them in one game wouldn't have been possible without basically making all of Zelda's half a movie/visual novel with no gameplay, otherwise you're building two whole characters you only have access to half the time with limited to no control over when the switches happen. +

wheras not everyone could or would want to play a completely different type of game just for more lore. The way they did this feels nice and thorough, so we know exactly how Link and Zelda's separate stories play out with their own space to breath and room for the player to play however they want. +

IMO it would have been a really disjointed game if you were being shoved back and forth between Link and Zelda for the whole game when it was designed to be familiar gameplay to BOTW players. Casual fans can enjoy BOTW and TOTK as a complete story and just google if they want info on a plothole (+)

the goron guy looks SO FUCKING UNIQUE AND AMAZING??? he reminds me of uncle Iroh, and the Rito guy should not be able to pull off that hairstyle so fucking well what the FUCK
