What Can The Legend of Zelda Learn from Mega Man?

ZI writes: Imagine the following undeniably awesome scenario: In a dungeon, Link walks into the bo… ahem, master’s lair. A brief cutscene plays where the master appears and his health bar fills to the top. Maybe he even strikes a pose. Then the battle begins. The master starts to prance around the room in one of a handful of programmed patterns, attacking Link with blasts of ice. And Link starts… jumping. And slashing. Jumping and slashing, jumping and slashing, you’d think they should’ve called him jump’n'slash man! At first, Link’s slashes barely do any damage, but then his tunic turns red, and his slashes emit fire. As each fiery slash strikes the master, his health depletes considerably and he resets to the same particular preprogrammed pattern…

All joking aside, be assured that I’m not suggesting Link should start jumping and shooting his way to mechanical “Triforce Masters” and taking them out with different colored elemental blasts from his “Zelda-Buster”. However Mega Man...

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

Inverno77d ago

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.

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.

Eidolon108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

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..

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul108d ago

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.

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.
