I know it’s long, but this is a pretty well thought out critique of Tears of the Kingdom - giving a lot of thought into what the game got right, what it got wrong, how/why the wrong parts were wrong, as well as how they could have been better.

    I think you press X to dash in the water because it’s a single press repeated action instead of a held down continuous action, like sprinting. Just like if you crouch and press X you dash forward, pressing x while swimming dashes you forward once. It always made sense to me that way, but I’d imagine there are a few people who don’t realize you can crouch dash.

        Right? I don’t think they ever explicitly say you can do it, but even back in BotW, if you crouch and then press X, instead of jumping Link will dash forward once, pretty much the same way you dash forward when swimming. Ever been crouch waddling towards an enemy walking away from you slightly too fast? Bam.
