So many of the random things in this game feel like “royalty free zelda”. Like for most of the game, ganon is just called the “blue guy”, Link has the “sword of might”, and i think the triforce is called the “prime energy” or some shit.

[@Draezeth]

Yeah, for the past few games, the Zelda series has tiptoed around naming things what they're called. (Although that isn't the Master Sword, so calling it the Sword of Might makes plenty of sense.)

There actaully are story reasons for all of those. Prime energy apparently is in fact a mathematics pun for reasons I won't mention as they're spoilers XD though like Draezeth said the Sword of Might has no relation to the Master Sword

this game did something very similar to splatoon 3 with its intro: you start very powerful, setting off to fight past some fairly easy enemies, eventually facing off against the final boss from previous games. this boss is very easy, and the game only really starts afterwards.

It's interesting how Zelda and the king call Link "the swordsman in green" and Ganon "fell beast". This implies Zelda and the rest of Hyrule don't know Link nor even Ganon. In every Zelda game where Ganon existed, the royal family at least knew about him before meeting Link. But this time, Ganon is completely foreign to them. Just Link and Ganon seem to know each other which is very interesting because now I want to know the backstory between them if Hyrule and Zelda aren't even involved here. This suggests that Ganon kidnapped Zelda (without knowing her) just as a bait trap to get Link to walk up to Ganon so he can end Link. You clearly notice this from his laughter when he dies. This Ganon is a genius.
