The Official Nintendo Magazine has published an interesting interview with The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma. One of the snippets taken from the interview is that the team is considering using the top down view in future Zelda games.
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.
I wouldn't mind a sort of isometric Zelda actually. It could be really cool. But I would far prefer a proper open world Zelda.
I have no problem with top-down Zelda games, but I guess it should be left for rare cases or on handhelds, while console titles should keep the standard 3D worlds we've had since OoT.
Cool idea, honestly option for multiple camera perspectives would be just as good!
I LOVE the top-down view Zelda games, they're the best. Admittedly, I've never played OOT until I recently picked up a 3DS. While the game itself is beautiful, it's just not the same to me. I did grow up playing the top-down view games, so that could contribute to it. I just feel those games provided me a much better experience.
Link To The Past was my favorite Zelda game, but after playing Link Between Worlds, I was just blown away. I've already played through it 3 times, and still have yet to finish OOT.
I don't plan on own any Nintendo consoles in the foreseeable future, but if they stick to top down view games for the 3DS and future hand-helds, I'll purchase every last one.
If you want to be the joke of the industry in 2014 sure.
