Fans of Christina Grimmie, the young singer who was shot and killed after a performance on June 10, have created two online petitions on Change.org to urge Nintendo to name a character after the 22-year-old singer in the fantasy video game Zelda.
The former contestant on The Voice was a Zelda superfan who posted YouTube videos about the game and often tweeted about it.
A spokesperson for Nintendo responded to the petition today.
Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."
The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..
I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.
I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.
but still considered the best of the seties.
i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.
25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.
Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.
The best prices we've found this Black Friday for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom as well as the previous game, Breath of the Wild.
The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has again commented on the possibility of revisiting the style of past entries in the series – but there are no plans as of now. Speaking with RTL Nieuws, Aonuma said that games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were possible because of what came before them.
Which is very sad. I still wish we could get a zelda like twilight princess, the dark tone and theme in the traditional style. But times have changed and the masses prefer open world sandbox. Smh. Perhaps we can get a proper hd remake of ocarina of time some day.
I played 100 hours of Tears of the Kingdom, enjoyed it, but ready for a game like that next.
If they can bounce between 2D and 3D Mario games, they can bounce between classic and modern Zelda games too. I thought this was a given when the Switch combined a handheld with a primary console.
Then this is where I part ways. I won't disagree with anyone who says that the old formula was getting stale. And I do think BoTW in a few ways was a step in the right direction, but there's way too much good that was left with the old formula in the transition.
Well that sucks. I still love the classic formula WAY more than the Hyrule Engineering Simulator
I don't get it... Lots of people loved Zelda and died waiting for this game?...
So being a singer means you deserve to be in a game if you pass away?
FFS. Respect her by giving her family a little piece of mind...
Edit: @Eonjay... Man, it's not a sweet gesture. Right now that family is waking up, "right around now likely", and loathing being alive. Can you IMAGINE what it would feel like months later to pick up the ONE game they found nostalgic and happy about their childhood, trying to play it, slowly moving on with their life, then BOOM. Their sweet dead little girl who's never coming back is selling bombs as a wackie Zelda NPC.
Yea. REAL sweet.
Stupid.
"A spokesperson for Nintendo tells TIME in a statement, “we are aware of the outpouring of support for her, as well as the petition, but we won’t be making any creative or content decisions in this time of mourning.” "
I feel that's the correct response.
So, I guess the new trend is if a popular person dies, let's petition to get them in a Zelda game?
Who?
