One of the reasons I don't like the meta Zelda timeline is that it tells a really _bleak_ and hopeless story if you take it all in as a single large piece.
A story of a stagnant land where nothing ever changes and the same battle has to be endlessly re-fought in the same exact way, forever
Yay

Noma: I think that even the low-level strategy elements of the genre, the unit tweaking and the battling, are quite a lot of fun, but to me, the true joy of “strategy RPG” as a genre comes from sprinkling in those broader RPG elements. As you recruit an army full of colorful characters and empathize with their individual stories and personalities, that experience in turn enriches the tweaking-and-battling side of [Unicorn Overlord]. The two genres complement each other particularly well.
That's also part of the reason we allowed players to select just about any character as a partner to take with them to the final battle. We wanted each player to feel like they were getting a special story written just for them.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreihuq5f2vnz3wx7keay4h2x6jqky4z6m5tzhsexdsmqlduwnueyl7i)
