Can someone who has played TotK and also knows a lot about Volcanoes explain how Death Mountain can even function as a volcano given that in the Depths below it the entire area is wide open and connected to the rest of the Depths
one way i think they gave zelda development in totk outside of her personality is that in botw she is struggling to fulfill a duty that has already been written out for her, but in totk, she gets to realize and decide for herself what she must do
