GenGAME writes: "The initial step into HD will be a defining moment for Zelda. Will it rise up to challenge today’s graphical powerhouses? Or will the series fall flat with its intended audience? Whatever Nintendo does, it’s going to be critical that they manage to surpass everyone’s expectations and create something truly spectacular."
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.
nintendo dont seem to 'get' or even care about pushing graphics anymore. i mean, they launch a hd console, the first mario hd game, and the game is little more than a upscaled version of mario bros wii... visually.
why would they all of a sudden change their whole company culture and release a game that pushes graphics? they haven't done so since gamecube.
if zelda wiiu is being co-developed by a 2nd party dev, then i would say yes, it could be something special graphically. but with nintendos attitude, i expect little more than a hi res skyward sword
using the zelda wiiu demo as an example of what the game will look like is silly- its just a demo designed to wow. the japanese garden demo nintendo showed was also impressive, but have we seen anything as visually impressive as that demo on wiiu? released or even announced? no!
Nintendo have stylized franchises not childish there's no such thing as chidish graphics,stylized,photo realism,sci-fi,cell shaded,as far as i know ??
Nintendo create stylized graphics and gameplay better than anyone they are known for making flawless bug free 60fps stylized games that score the highest average reviews in the industry PERIOD GET USED TO THAT FACT.
When they go to town on graphics you will see graphics way beyond that zelda tech demo which was done at EAD which was already way above anything ive ever seen the movements were cinimatic for gameplay wow,if you think they can't be the trend setters again just like the Mario64 game that invented 3d on a 2d tv bk in the day your daft.
Fear is that Nintendo is going to do what they did with the Gamecube Demo of Zelda back in Spaceworld 2000. They showed us an excellent looking demo and then a year or so later they show Wind Waker instead.
The Wii U Zelda Demo was awesome and is exactly what Wii U Zelda needs/should look like. Instead we will probably get a Zelda with visuals looking like the Nintendo Land mini game.
the visuals will be good but i dont think thats what the zelda developers are focusing on....they know nintendo fans expect a near perfect game....not shinier pixels like fans of other consoles
