Disclaimer: Zelda lore thread. I am aware that Nintendo probably doesn't give two fucks about Zelda lore, and all that jazz is really just reverse-engineered, but it is still fun to sometimes think about stuff like that. Don't come into this thread if you know you are just going to get mad.
So, what is the deal with Hylians?
Are they just the descendants of Hylia-Zelda, or of Skyloftians in general? I mean, they supposedly have the pointy ears because they can hear the gods with those. Is that god-affinity due to their relation with Hylia? Or does anyone from Skyloft have that ability because they are all kinda Hylia-affine? But if all Skyloftians became Hylians, where do the other humanoid races in Zelda come from? Kokiri are just transformed koroks, but what about the Gerudo and Shiekah?
Also, what is the current state of affairs with Hylia anyway? (By current I mean by the time of BotW.)
She stopped being a goddess before SS, but we still bow to her in BotW. As I see it, there are three possibilities:
>when the original Hylia-Zelda from SS died, Hylia went back to the place beyond time and became a goddess again
>Hylia is to this day reborn in Zelda, and when we bow to Hylia we are actually bowing to Zelda in her Ganon-prison
>Hylia and Zelda are sorta like Jahweh and Jesus, the same being but just different aspects of it, existing parallelly with one another
The reincarnation one makes the least sense to me, since Zelda is supposedly not a reincarnation, it is just the same name given to all female descendants of the royal family of Hyrule. So I'd go with the first option, since the Jesus one is a bit reaching.

It could be Din, Nayru, and Farore giving you blessings since Hylia technically doesn't even exist anymore.
>>
I want to know the relationship between Hylia and the Golden Goddesses (Nayru, Din, and Farore). I assume she's a lesser goddess being responsible for a single chosen people instead of the creation of the entire world.
As for your question, OP, I imagine it as being the third one. Hylia exists as a thing separate from Zelda, and also has passed some of her magic into the Zelda bloodline.

It's just an effigy, the blessings come from something else.

According to rules set out by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game#Chris_Crawford it seems to fill all the points from 1 to 5, only 2 and 3 being controversial. Does Persona 5 have enough interactivity? Does Persona 5 have actual goals that can be achieved (outside finishing the story, or a substory), as it's mostly click to continue gameplay?

How old are you, OP?

>>377804210
My point is that if everything is on rails and there is no emergent gameplay, the structure reminds me more that of a make your own adventure novel than a video game.

Not only does that guy sound really far up his own ass, those "guidelines" are like 15 years old. Games have changed a ton over that time.

Do people really buy high end audio equipment for video game?
Most video games have terrible sound design/mixing so why waste so much money to listen to shit?

Because Satan was right

>>377803574
I don't know that people like him, but they blamed him for fucking over devs who they were convinced were saints and turns out those devs were human garbage and kotick was doing people favors for what he did to them.
That said he's probably done a lot of other terrible shit. But I don't give enough of a shit to remind myself about a guy that hasn't been relevant in years.

He's currently the lesser evil.

It got turned back into a buy to play game, so it's gonna fail, without a doubt. Not that it would have succeeded f2p but it's going through so many radical changes all the time that I can't imagine it'll live very long.
