"Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of life and death. Is this a curse? Or some kind of punishment? I often think about the god who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle...and wonder if we'll ever get the chance to kill him."
-2B, Nier Automata

Happy Zelda 35th Anniversary.

I've been sitting on this video for about a year, having finished it last spring but was too late for BotW's anniversary. I finally got to play the game itself in 2019 shortly after the sequel announcement when I got a Switch at last. Having also played Nier Automata the previous year, I felt many of the themes were similar regarding the fight against "fate" and to find one's own meaning and purpose. I love that BotW addressed many of my issues with the lore introduced in Skyward Sword, and showcased Zelda's struggles to live up to her "destiny" (even moreso in Age of Calamity). While I never cared much for the character before, this is now my favorite incarnation of her. Her story was really relatable, and I hope she and Link eventually find peace and happiness. (Perhaps, Ganondorf as well...)
