Waking of Friday, March 17, 2017
I once again meandered about the
beautiful Zora’s Domain, and on this occasion took my sweet, sweet time.
“You’re female, right?”
The single option available for
Link to select when he speaks to Dunma.
“Why, yes. How observant you are!”
Or something to that end, she replies.
“How old are you?”
“....That’s not a question
appropriate to ask a girl you’ve just met.”
The game does.... Well I think it
is the least blank I have ever seen
Avatar Link before. And not just in Zora’s Domain; there have been other places
where a definite attitude all his own has cropped up, in his various response
options.
By which I mean it’s a little bit
of a tighter fit for the player to impress his own image into the
Avatar—sometimes I haven’t cared for any
of the responses I’ve had the option to give! (I think Skyward Sword offered a
better variety of personality for the player to assume.) But.... I suppose it’s
easy enough to pick the responses most appropriate—or least unappropriate as
the case may be—to the persona you wish to project into the gameworld.
Not to say Link’s hinted
personality is not, at times, charming in its own right.
And I do.... respect it....
As I respect the semi-voiced
dialogue—spoken words during
important cutscenes....
Dang
you Prince Sidon that dulcet tenor timbre and
the winning grin just—
....
It’s always tough to match up the
lip-flaps.
