i dont like to use the term "mary sue" a lot but... i mean... what the fuck.

shes good at everything, has mystical old world tech that makes her even more powerful, she has the correct dna to literally save the planet, single handedly kills everything in her path with ease, even the Sun King falls for her. what???

also i can't not hear Ashly Burch when i hear her voice and its DISTRACTING

Canonically why would you be playing as anyone but the person with the correct DNA for the story?

I think shes kinda boring, tbh. Like, her personality is extremely vanilla.

apparently training since childhood to be the best at what she can be so she can win some contest to be accepted into her tribe makes her a mary sue

just because a tiny piece of tech that gives her a little insight into how the robots work, and her tribe being the only tribe too stupid to even look into technology doesn't make her "powerful"

And that's your opinion and all...but its wrong, notably for the story reasons Eel alluded to.

not really. Link, except for maybe BoTW, has always been shown as some normal kid being thrust into a story where he's some destined hero, and only gets to that point at the end.

aloy is powerful at the beginning because of all her training. theres like, no growth.

Bro, most games, Link doesnt even train lmao. He goes to save the world as a farmer or something.

We actually play through Aloy learning and she loses a pretty big foght early costing her peers and master.
