Eiji Aonuma has been on the Zelda team since Ocarina of Time. He's practically been running the show since Majora's Mask, even though he is given a bit too much credit for that particular game (it actually wasn't his idea, but that's at topic for another time). The point is, he has overseen most of the Zelda series as we know it to date. With Miyamoto stepping away as lead after Ocarina of Time, Eiji Aonuma has been "the man" for the series for 11, soon to be 12, games in the series.
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.
he's been saying the same thing since Wind Waker but it still the same....
Zelda games are very different from each other the way they are played.. I dont see this series changing direction anytime soon. It will almost be blasphemy if they did that cause so many hardcore Zelda fans like myself would feel let down, a bit like Resident Evil.
It will need to change to some degree though I think. The Zelda Template is a very good one and although I would very strongly argue that it's a winning formula every time, I do hunger for something both the same but beyond how that's served up. It's a difficult challenge though
Skyward Sword has restored quite a bit of lost faith it must be said but I'd be even more thrilled by something magically fresh like how Zelda past and Ocarina first felt. Again that's a difficult ask but it's certainly possible given the right approach. Majora's mask was bloody brilliant for example and although I don't think any Zelda game should ever again be quite so demanding in that one sense Majora was, it could certainly take a lot from this amazing game. The interaction thing alone was absolutely captivating
Every Zelda game since Majora has been typically excellent in that Nintendo way but I can imagine a truly incredible Zelda game where it's shoulders above the competition
Right now though I'm just glad they made Skyward Sword more difficult and this should mean the next Zelda game is at least this as well
You know, I like to think I am in informed gamer who likes to know developers and publishers that create the games, like Bungie created the Halo series, Naughty Dog now has 2 teams, Sony Santa Monica studio making the God of War games and also helping with other Playstation games that might need help, etc. But Nintendo is one I just never seemed to see. Who exactly makes the Zelda games? Is one developer making it? Is all of Nintendo making it? How about Mario? I keep seeing a Team Mario or whatever. Is that an official dev name? Only ones I know of are Gamefreak (who does the Pokémon games), and Hal Laboratories (who does Kirby, Kid Icarus, and Super Smash).
Maybe this will cause me to get a wii u in the future. Last Zelda game I played was Twilight Princess on the GameCube and it did not keep my attention (did not complete it) as Ocarina of Time, Majora's or Wind Waker did. Hands down, Ocarina of Time is my favorite game next to Metal Gear Solid 1.
