"I was . . . delayed."

11/6/2021

Along the coast of Maine, late October, 2021.

Good evening, all,

Well, the Rito article has, as of two minutes ago, finally been published. It is somewhat extensive, which explains why it took me so long. There is a surprising amount of depth behind the Rito (at least for the discerning gamer), and I hope the article can shed some light upon their culture's inspiration. I had planned on uploading it the last day of October, but was detained a bit from that goal due to an unplanned camping trip to Maine. (Let us say that it was . . . cold.)

That said, with the Rito finished, all the non-Hylian races have been covered, which leaves me with just a few things: Hyrule Castle and other Hylian structures, the Forgotten Temple, the strange Labyrinths and the Lomei Culture, and, potentially, a wee article on the Great Fairy Fountains. Please let me know if you have preferences, or any ideas for articles of your own. I'm always open to suggestions. As always, happy reading.

I am eager to read!
hyrule castle would be a delight in a study late rennisance manners

however I if I may say, I am curious about the temple of time from breath of the wild, and I don't mean this with derision, but in a series where the makers of zelda sprinkle fantasy in their structures, the temple of time is strictly early gothic, if even that

maybe that is why I like it so much, it is a cathedral for those of us far away, the zelda makers need not sparkle with fantasy for it is already magical..

thank you Talbot, truly thank you

Dear hidan,

Hyrule Castle and other Hylian structures are coming along! It'll be a few months, though, I'd imagine. Thanks for writing in, and keep the magic alive!

Best,

Talbot

I thought jumping on the most recent post on this would help me get your attention to thank you, profoundly. As someone who's writing their final essay to be able to graduate making a relation between real world architecture and in game architecture i can't explain how amazing finding this website was in helping me make some of my points more solid. What you do here is beautiful and the appreciation you show for the art and architecture just made me happy to read all of the articles on Breath of the wild. Thank you so much.

Missa,

So sorry to have missed your comment for so long; this past month has been . . . a bit much. I really hope your final essay turns out well, and thanks for writing in (and for your kind praise). I really appreciate it. Best of luck with your writing, and please let me know if you need anything!
