Eiji Aonuma visited Miiverse today and left a couple of messages for fans following the Zelda news announced during today’s Nintendo Direct.
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.
Wow. That's hot. Majora's Mask for Wii U please I'm not above grovelling.
This looks awesome. New School meets Old School = so much enjoyment
As someone who grew up with 3D Zeldas, I'm cautious about this one. Don't get me wrong, I've gone back and played the older titles (and the DS titles) and enjoyed them... just not as much as Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, or Skyward Sword.
Cautious, but still optimistic. Nintendo is a developer that very seldom produces anything that's not of the very highest quality.
...
Mostly, I'm bothered by the art style. ALttP used an "incorrect" perspective; I would have much preferred this new game use a more proper overhead perspective (i.e. isometric) but I suppose it's necessary to see all of the walls at all times if this wall-travel thing is an integral mechanic.
Speaking of which, as a "power" it seems quite lame from a story perspective (here's hoping they can come up with some cool explanation for the magic), but gameplay-wise is seems quite promising.
Are the devs so lazy ?
It looks worse than Zelda on DS...they could at least make it more like Four Sword Adventures with the shading and all. :/
I've been a fan of Zelda since the beginning, LTtP being my favorite, this looks fantastic.
This is going to make me buy a 3DS if it's good
