What If the Game Is Secretly Getting Easier?
People say this game is too easy and now I'm doubting myself.

the idea of a parasocial relationship is almost essential for audience buy in and storytelling. If the audience doesn't care about the character then no one will care about the story.
This is also why character consistency is important.
While I do think physical media will decrease dramatically, I still hold out hope that it won't go away completely. I remember when the kindle first came out and everyone thought physical books would go away too.
The video game industry may be trying to phase out physical media as digital shops take over, but a whole lot of people still showed up to stores for Ocarina of Time's midnight launch. kotaku.com/legend-zelda-ocar…

My problem isn't that AI can be used to quickly make games, it's the fear that developers will get lazy and "good enough" will become more and more prominent.

I just hope they didn't go overboard and make it too easy.
I actually don't think it was a design flaw that made this temple notorious. It just required you to think a little harder compared to the other temples.
I think people should play the original first, but I'm curious what other people think.
