There's definitely some hopes/wants I have for BOTW2, but one thing I'm certain that's staying is the durability system, for better or Vortex Oh yes, you're right about that. I don't really care how it all 'fits together' since it'll never do so seamlessly, but I do enjoy lore, so these games should still try to share connections with each other in my mind, so as long as they do that, I'll be happy. The timeline is definitely confusing when you try to split it into the three timelines the HH has, or really, no matter how you split it. Sure, they're said to have bestowed the Triforce to the people of Hyrule as well, but even if they bestowed it to Hylia who then bestowed it upon the people, it kind of amounts to the same thing, since Hylia was a servant of the Golden Goddesses too.
BoTW and SS never implied Hylia created Hyrule? My understanding was that Hylia was the chosen protector of the Triforce (that the Golden Goddesses created after creating the world, which would eventually become known as Hyrule after SS Link and Zelda lay the foundations for their Kingdom, which they name after Hylia- but the world wasn't made by them).
