Ooooh The Wisdom Of 3 AM Has Just Inspired Me With A Very Cool And Sad Explanation For Something In TotK,

ooooh the wisdom of 3 AM has just inspired me with a very cool and sad explanation for something in TotK, I'll try to phrase it as spoiler-neutral as possible just in case it breaches containment or tumblr's formatting borks again

so of course if you do the complete geoglyphs quest quickly enough you find out very early that [SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS], and despite having many, many opportunities to tell his friends and allies this information at many relevant points, Link never does. It's never even a dialogue option, even after you get near the end of the game and it becomes very, very obvious.

Mechanically it's a gameplay/story integration thing to make sure the player isn't locked out of major events and questlines just by doing things out of order. Narratively, Link is enough of a blank slate that this decision on his part is interestingly jarring, and makes us wonder why we don't even have the option to get the other heroes up to speed.

There are a number of fascinating internal reasons he might do this - guilt, grief, denial, angsty lonerism - but a very simple factor just occurred to me.

Nearly everyone he has the opportunity to tell this information to is a selfless heroic type who is very worried about not having enough power to beat Ganondorf and save the world, and is willing to do anything to succeed. He's seen the type. He IS that type. He knows how that headspace works.

And he knows from nearly minute one that they're all about to get secret stones.

He has a really good reason not to give them any ideas.

A boost.
