Yup. I'm a fan of lore in a lot of series, but that's not why I play Zelda.

I play Zelda because it's fun. I like the creative puzzles that aren't super hard, but hard enough to require a little bit of thinking. I like that there's progression, but no leveling system, so a lot of the progression is learning to use new tools. I like the silly side quests.

I've never really been interested in Zelda lore, so I'm honestly okay with things not quite lining up. I guess I see each entry as a separate universe where Link saves Zelda in a different way each time. Zelda games rarely have direct sequels, and I think that was the real mistake this time around. Just let me fight Ganon or whatever in a new cycle every time, I don't need any kind of story coherency.

Planescape: Zelda where all Zelda universe coalesce into the city of doors. Wait, wrong franchise.

You're thinking of Planescape: Spider-Man
