Eh. Same recycled story as the Animal Crossing letters from mom story. Or an even earlier version where their sister/girlfriend/etc etc left a note on some game they were playing, or a version from 5000 years ago where a scroll they were transcribing had a note from a friend who recently died from yellow fever or whatever.
It’s the way the mom letters are delivered through the in-game mail. The game isn’t incidental to the story like in here - the very mechanics of how the game works are inherently important to the method of the delivery of the message.
We can see through the veil on this one because Zelda here could easily be anything. Could be a movie. Could be a board game. Could be a bike. But you could not replace animal crossing, and if you did, it could not work as well with the same characters (message in a MMO? Why is your Mom playing a MMO???)

The Animal Crossing one with the mom is way more hard hitting.

Mom story had the better worldbuilding.
Anyone got a link to that?
agreed there
Doesn’t even make sense, why would his brother not live at the same house
Because he’s an adult and moved out into his own place?
Is that still a thing?
Our world is not one and the same place, we still have places where Humans experience the stoneage
in this economy?
I don’t live in the same house as my brother.
