Breath of the Wild got rid of a lot of series staples, like a set of deep, long-lasting dungeons, exclusive items with each of those dungeons and a linear structure focused on progressing the story in a singular fashion. It also stepped back from the epic, beat-you-over-the-head music that the series has always been known for. For the next installment, it’s time to bring that style of music back.
Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."
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.
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
music, dungeons and the ability to repair weapons (maybe even armor if they add a durability factor into those too). But keep the open world style of BOTW.
I would also like a better story.
go back in time if you like those things from the old games.......breath of the wild audio was great..........
How about some new music for a change? Instead of remixes of the same old songs.
It wouldve been nice to have good theme songs for the areas.. Music can really make a game a lot better.. That forest dungeon in OoT for example.. That track made the level more enjoyable.. The goron city music immersed me into it more
