Michael at IGCritic writes "The original Zelda game took place in a big world. At the time, you didn’t have to know what Logic Gates were to know that to walk off the screen and have the landscape load areas that were different and riddled with secrets and danger everywhere wasn’t just a new experience in gaming, but a core experience of the human journey."
Screen Rant, "The return of one controversial character could have an incredible effect on The Legend of Zelda, prompting the introduction of new features."
Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her
Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.
Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."
Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before
As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.
BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..
Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.
A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.
I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
It was just magical
Link to the Past is still my favorite, but I can definitely agree with it being amazing at the time.
Ocarina or Wind Waker for me. I played through Zelda 1 again a couple of weeks ago. It hasn't aged especially well, and as a 2D Zelda it doesn't hold a blue candle to ALTTP.
I can't agree with that, it went waaay too old and can't stand 5min comparison with the immersion you can get from TWW, MM or TP. Can't wait for Breath of the Wild (BoW?) =)
No offense to retro-gaming, some games aged wonderfully but I honestly got bored replaying the first Zelda after 5 or 6 dungeons (and I basically played all the Zelda games, at least the "official" ones)
I can't really agree but it's all opinions ofcourse.
Hell, IMO Zelda 2 even aged better (though it's really hard)
Zelda 1 looks very underwhelming, doesn't play very smooth, the secrets are cryptic, but it did pave the way for these games
I'd rather play MM or Link to the Past. Speaking of, am playing through Link between worlds and it's really great
