  • Through interviews and videos I’ve seen, they spent a lot of time and effort to not have mechanics like a HUD arrow that guided you to the next objective, but rather had those in the landscape of the world simplifying the design, and creating a sense of curiosity. They also took care to put interesting side quests and hidden items along the way so that players felt like they discovered it on their own.

    The boss and shrines being able to be completed out of order was a big departure from resent Zelda games proceeding it which were very linear, and they went back to the original Zelda for inspiration. This was controversial at the time, and not something new outside the series, but really forced the design of the open world to be inviting in some areas and terrifying in others.







  • This may be unpopular to some, but I think there should be more interoperability between Lemmy and Mastadon. I know from Mastadon you can @mention Lemmy communities, but most users don’t know about that. Maybe depending on the privacy settings of a Mastadon post, if that could be “forwarded” to a Lemmy community as a post, and it would be useful for many who follow a community in Lemmy but not the author or hashtag in Mastadon. It’d also be nice to be able to follow people who use Mastadon and have that show up in your feed on Lemmy.
