You might think that its difficult to find a unique voice or thesis, but you don't have to create someone new for everyone, just something new for one person. I find the following paragraph:
Ocarina is a story interested in exploring what it means to grow and fit into a community space as an intrinsic outsider. [...] Here, as the child hero, Link fights for that consideration exactly, while also chasing after his lost princess Zelda.
To be an excellent thesis that I seldom hear about, and never heard put in such words eloquently. Don't get too lost in the sauce! Sometimes, it's already great :)
As much as I love OoT I've always taken it at face value and never really considered the deeper meanings. Most of if not all of my experiences with Ocarina has been from borrowing/renting the game or watching a friend's older brother play it.
You make me want to charge up my 3DS and give this game a real honest crack at actually completing it.
It's worth it! I'm a firm believer in play until you stop therapy where you revisit a game with fresh eyes and then suddenly, without cause, completely drop it with no regrets.

Thanks Francisco! Appreciate the thought and consideration. Our conversation definitely helped me shape that very thesis
