    Eh. Same recycled story as the Animal Crossing letters from mom story. Or an even earlier version where their sister/girlfriend/etc etc left a note on some game they were playing, or a version from 5000 years ago where a scroll they were transcribing had a note from a friend who recently died from yellow fever or whatever.

        It’s the way the mom letters are delivered through the in-game mail. The game isn’t incidental to the story like in here - the very mechanics of how the game works are inherently important to the method of the delivery of the message.

        We can see through the veil on this one because Zelda here could easily be anything. Could be a movie. Could be a board game. Could be a bike. But you could not replace animal crossing, and if you did, it could not work as well with the same characters (message in a MMO? Why is your Mom playing a MMO???)

        Mom story had the better worldbuilding.

    Why do Anons always link emotional milestones to fucking video games? Touch grass.

        Talking. Throw some eye contact in there and even a little touch for the full user experience.
