The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is like The Witcher made by Studio Ghibli | GodisaGeek

Dan Murphy: "My demo flew by and it left me wanting more - the world is a lovely place to be in, it’s brimming with character and, most importantly, nothing feels like its been done for the sake of it. From the mechanics to the game to creatures living in the world, everything here seems to have a meaningful purpose."

I'm a longtime Nintendo fan but as a person with well working eyesight, I have to disagree with this notion. Studio Ghibli's animations have so much soul and imagination poured into them that a game like Breath of the Wild looks very tame and unimaginative in comparison.

Neonridr2884d ago

still has a fantastic art style. Really digging the look of this game. And it looks huge. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Maybe the author's comparison to Studio Ghibli was a little much.

Becuzisaid2884d ago

I'm not sure unimaginative is fair. We've only been shown the opening location of the map. Going back to Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, their opening (tutorial) regions have been pretty barren as well. I do share the concern with others that the world appears rather lifeless right now, but we've seen (per the developers) only 1% of the game. I would look at Wind Waker though, and have someone explain to me how what we've seen so far is any less barren than that game's open ocean.

ninokuni looks like windWaker. but if you pay close attention, Zelda wiiU looks like a mix of realistic/toon. see the water for ex. and no other game has grass like thisss

NukaCola2884d ago

Well if you want to know what Studio Ghibli in a game looks like, play Ni No Kuni. But this still looks awesome nonetheless

Yeah but also if the witcher had good gameplay.

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

Inverno91d 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

FinalFantasyFanatic122d ago

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.

Eidolon122d ago (Edited 122d 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..

anast122d ago

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

Ristul121d 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.
