This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't think OoT is as liminal because they put a lot of effort into adding atmosphere. There's a lot of background animal noises and bugs flying around. It's low tech, but the environments don't feel empty in the same way as the polished and clean Mario 64 environments.

Doesn't liminal specifically mean a transitory space that you are intended to move through and not linger in, like a hallway? OoT (and Mario 64) have those, but obviously not exclusively. I guess were referring to a sort of sparse aesthetic. I wish we had a better word for that.
