Babysitting...?

If I have to pick the worst thing about Hyrule Warriors it would have to be the story telling. Sorry guys, but you missed the mark on this one. Did you even try?
Despite the flaws, I keep finding myself leading my army of lemmings against the enemy army of lemmings. Heck, I've even begun to name a few of my captains. Then they die. It's sad. I stopped doing that. 
But I really want there to be more story. How do the characters interact? Does Ruto's winning personality bug everyone, or just me? How many backs has Darunia accidentally broken? What does the regular cast think of the DLC characters? Specifically, how do they react to a child running around killing thousands of enemy soldiers and then spontaneously turning into a force of nature?
Really though, what must they think?
...
...Well crap. Now I have to write it.
