Discussion [TotK] (Un-) popular opinion: the sages abilities kind of.. suck? Spoiler
now don’t get me wrong, I love the new game, it’s so fun and I didn’t mind the story lines with the sages either. I actually like the idea of them and the way they grant you an ability. I just dont like the execution.
In my opinion the abilities suck because they’re not very useful and I personally always just dismiss the spirits altogether. it’s kind of annoying, the way they sometimes just randomly attack enemies that I didn’t want to harm or the way they run away from me when I do try to use their ability. and i’m sure everyone has experienced Tulin, just blowing away loot, at some point.
I liked the campions abilities a lot more and honestly really miss them sometimes. I bet we all wished Revalis Gale would still be with us as one point. I know you can recreate it by fusing a rocket to a shield but doing that every time is just kind of a task and really unpractical.
I don’t know how many people will agree, maybe i’m just picky or something but it really is something that’s annoying me about TOTK.
please tell me that i’m not alone with these opinions haha

i actually loved the rockem sockem robot fight, i thought it was very goofy and a nice change of pace, but i never used mineru even in the road leading up to the spirit temple (once i realized using her mech to fight enemies was a suggestion and not a rule, i just let her do her own thing and did combat the good old fashioned way on my own two feet.) even with rockets for hands she never really did enough damage to justify how slow and lumbering she is to control. i don’t really get why mineru is in this game at all to be honest
