I been trying to do this thread since the last mission and the more news of HW that came out but never got around to it, basically since what was the original ending to neph's comic has ended and I know the rest of the plot I feel I should talk about it since that's the reason neph's making this game, I will basically be talking about why I like the story and why it draw me into this game. and anyone can add anything if they want.

first I guess should start with how I got in to this, I hear of a zelda rpg called fallen sage when I was looking for fan games for zelda, after watching someone play it on youtube I decide to install it on my computer, I pay through the entire game and I had allot of problems with the game mostly being the characters, the characters for the most part came off as mean spirited and I mean all of them, however I there were things I like about, the tone was very depressing and not full of hope, when a character was at the top of the world something tragic would happen to knock them down, some characters flaws lead to their downfall like saria and akazoo, the second game was even better in everything, it even down played the mean spirit of the last game.

now getting to HTW, one big reason I like this story is it's a recreation of zelda in a new light, the reason I like this is it owns the author to do new ideas with characters and locations that the original lore wouldn't allow, this game's story is basically zelda's version of marvel's ultimate universe, basically the author takes ideas from normal lore and changes them or flips them to fit into this new universe. in this story the tone is dark and realistic and more grey than normal zelda, now you could turn the hylians into zealots in normal zelda but you couldn't do the zora as zealots or the gorons, nor could you do a plot where most of the factions grey because it goes against the main theme of being a hero. also because this story is more well define in how everything came being it gives new ideas on how characters and places became the way they did in normal zelda while still feeling new, example an is bongo being taking over by the nightmare and changing into bongo bongo.

another I like is there is no "the guy", now most complain that everyone in hyrule is useless but link and the sages, the reason for this is usually link only can defeat the main bad guy because either the big bad is so powerful and link is the only with the weapons to stop him or the bad guy takes out any threat to them, this is a thing in allot of media not just zelda, in star wars it self luke is the guy, it's not that the other characters are useless it's that luke is the only one who challenge the emperor and vader, this game does away with that be making everyone useful but making everyone normal, there is no character who is so powerful that only certain weapons can hurt nor a character so good that nobody can beat, during the ganon arc neph easily could have made zelda and ganon "the guy" but their just as useful as any other character, even when link comes in he's not this super awesome knight with all the best weapons from around hyrule, nor is he just a nobody that just came out of nowhere and save, he's just a knight with a powerful sword.

well I would say more but it's late while I'm doing this and I need sleep,so comment and stuff.
