The Feeling of Something Waiting There for You
Metadata
Highlights
- The feeling of a game like Zelda
The generosity of it!
It gives and gives
The sense of capacity and power
(We have to acknowledge the infantilization too. Hard things are easy in this game. Climbing and building and traveling, etc.)
The feeling of “something waiting there for you”
The breathtaking knowledge that people made this for you
But that’s the real world too! Every single thing, every big infrastructural system, was authored by people. Who are just as anonymous in their way as Zelda’s many creators. We can acknowledge and praise the geniuses at Nintendo … can’t we acknowledge and praise these other groups?
The infantilization, also, of infrastructure? Hmm, maybe it’s not so bad
Zelda and the infrastructural sublime!! (View Highlight)
