Twilight Princess is a game about trust | a reflection
405This is my video essay on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, exploring the nature of trust between communities and the extent to which it drives individual dynamics between characters across time. Twilight Princess is often remembered as the 'edgy' Zelda, but underneath all the drama there's an honest heart to the storytelling in this game that I found really touching. This analysis considers how a change in focus towards character dynamics and interpersonal relationships between Link and his companion throughout the journey foster one of the most emotionally compelling entries in the series so far.
Plus, this game is chock full of wacky, ridiculous pseudo philosophical nonsense, so it's right up my alley. Thanks for watching, bye!
