holy cow I didn't say it was a reboot, I said it feels like they wanted to reboot itThe Minish are the whole reason why Rupees and stuff are hidden under bushes in Zelda games, and yet we only see them in one game, which is also the only game where they're even mentioned. This concept really isn't as foreign to the series as you are making it sound.
And if this is a reboot, why are there detailed historical accounts of the Era of the Hero of Time?
which they perfectly did in a soft sense (NOT literally) by making botw far removed from the other games, yet in this one they went back and spray painted on past lore
ganondorf was around the whole time, the rito existed the whole time, zonai and zonai tech were around the whole time, there's a 4th set of sky islands having nothing to do w/ the other sky islands that are also their own thing
