Where Has 2D The Legend of Zelda Gone?

With the immense success of Tears of the Kingdom, a return to the Zelda franchise's roots is looking less and less likely.

There was one released 3 years ago on the Switch. It hasn't been that long.

Yeah but that was just a remake

Last original 2D Zelda was 2015’s Triforce Heroes

And even that was more of a side story like Four Swords or Age of Calamity.

We have to accept that traditional Zelda is gone. I don’t mind the free for all physics sandbox but it would be nice to see something traditional. Modern Zelda games have about 10% of what we knew these series to be.

I'm sad you didn't like Lorule. I really enjoyed it. I liked it's characters and it made me excited to think of what other characters' Lorule counterparts might be like. I loved the imaginative adventures it sent me on. https://www.targetpayandben...

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

Inverno81d ago

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.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

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.

Eidolon112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

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..

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul111d ago

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.

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.
