@@christopherlyndsay8611 it's the awful way that KZbin comments work. early on when a video is first uploaded, the comments are a free for all and you see an array of opinions. Then, as people dislike the same unpopular/problematic comments and like comments that are calling out the unpopular opinions, KZbin starts to only show you the callout comments. Then, because people are frustrated that they can't find the original problematic comments, the callout comments are often replaced by meta comments about not being able to find the original comments. and it's just a dumb cycle that a lot of comments sections go through.

Nintendo is extremely strict on what creators and reviewers are allowed to put out before the game officially launches. The tightest leash is always on gameplay visuals and any story elements.

In regards to the combat: I wish they would've given Zelda some of her trademark moves to complement the echoes instead of the sword and shield mode. Being able to use Din's Fire to attack, Naryu's Love to shield, and Farore's Wind to dodge would've fit better with her character as she's essentially a mage. It even would've made more sense in combination with the blue "mana" bar restriction that the sword and shield mode requires. Feels like a missed opportunity to me, which is surprising since Cadence of Hyrule had a playable Zelda with these abilities.
