The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild becomes the second-best selling entry in the series

Could it overcome and become all-time-best-selling?

Neonridr2291d ago

to be honest I could see Breath of the Wild selling over 9 million units on the Switch alone. At this point almost 50% of Switch owners have BOTW in their library, so as the Switch continues to sell those numbers are only going to climb.

I bought and beat it on WiiU, because I wasn't buying the Switch for just one game at the time lol.

I have a Switch now, but im not debuting the game lol.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64144d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

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..

FinalFantasyFanatic143d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits144d ago

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.

gold_drake143d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

franwex143d ago (Edited 143d ago )

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.

babadivad143d ago (Edited 143d ago )

It isn't...

Nintendo not thinking about older Zelda games, "difficult to say" if classic style will return

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.

CDbiggen283d ago

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.

Inverno317d ago

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.

CrimsonWing69317d ago

I want it to. I’m sorry, but these new Zelda games I just can’t get into.

Duke19317d ago

Well that sucks. I still love the classic formula WAY more than the Hyrule Engineering Simulator
