Even before its reveal, the Nintendo Switch felt like it had to be a console with a singular purpose. It was to be the machine to unify Nintendo’s split hardware platforms – the consistently barnstorming handheld wing, and the increasingly limp-footed home consoles – into a single, successful entity, that could be served with a solid stream of games regardless of the company’s lack of latter-era third-party support.
Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."
The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..
I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.
I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.
but still considered the best of the seties.
i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.
25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.
Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.
The best prices we've found this Black Friday for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom as well as the previous game, Breath of the Wild.
The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has again commented on the possibility of revisiting the style of past entries in the series – but there are no plans as of now. Speaking with RTL Nieuws, Aonuma said that games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were possible because of what came before them.
Which is very sad. I still wish we could get a zelda like twilight princess, the dark tone and theme in the traditional style. But times have changed and the masses prefer open world sandbox. Smh. Perhaps we can get a proper hd remake of ocarina of time some day.
I played 100 hours of Tears of the Kingdom, enjoyed it, but ready for a game like that next.
If they can bounce between 2D and 3D Mario games, they can bounce between classic and modern Zelda games too. I thought this was a given when the Switch combined a handheld with a primary console.
Then this is where I part ways. I won't disagree with anyone who says that the old formula was getting stale. And I do think BoTW in a few ways was a step in the right direction, but there's way too much good that was left with the old formula in the transition.
Well that sucks. I still love the classic formula WAY more than the Hyrule Engineering Simulator

They are. They definitely are. I still love my Vita though. I feel like this comparison is not fair comparing two consoles generations apart. Hey, the ps4 got right what the intelivision got wrong.
I don't have a switch and I don't hate it, so it is welcome to succeed but I do own two vitas.
Now getting to your point... So people didn't want to play AAA games, like uncharted, on the bus because it wasn't a great fit and because of that "Sony realised it error, but alas it realised too late." It realized what to late? Give me some freaking examples. Then you mention the "Vita last couple of years" , when in fact It continues on.
I couldn't continue reading, let me give you some advice, just stop, Stop being a journalist.
Memory cards, that is all. Everything else was ace and it even is a great media player too with DLNA support. Cross Buy/Play is awesome since launch in February 2012 and still lives on across PS4 games too.
The difference is this...Zelda! And a few years time. All in all if the Switch releases without Zelda, uts flaws are highlighted to an exponential degree, and its viability is highly questioned!
