Zelda Informer: "A few days ago we reported about some new information from the official Japanese website for Zelda U. Essentially, the information claimed there was a new Link and more interestingly, a new villain. As with anything that requires translations, mistakes do happen. We trusted MyNintendoNews with the initial translation and in doing our own research with our translation team (combined with our own fanbase), we can confirm their is zero confirmation if there will be a new villain or not, or even if this is a new Link.
However, what we did learn is also rather exciting depending upon how you want to slice it."
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.
These words just made me really hyped for this game.
It might be set up like a literal planet where if you head in one direction enough you will come full circle back to where you started. Interesting concept if it is true.
Miyamoto said it's not open world.
Randomly generated dungeons would be fantastic!
I believe there will be plenty enough to explore and it will feel endless at first, but eventually, and hopefully there'll be hubs where one can rest and also teleporting devices/items to go from one part of the world to another.
I am so hyped for this game, it's action adventure with a real bit of exploration. Paint me excited!!
