Nintendo is going back to Zelda’s roots with Breath of the Wild. Today, the company showed how its new Switch / Wii U game compares in some aspects to the original.
NE: "We're looking at every single Nintendo franchise on Switch and evaluating how they grew and changed during the Switch's life cycle."
The composer took to Twitter to share that he actually stepped back from the position in July 2023, though this is the first time he has publicly acknowledged it.
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.
!! Unmatched euphoria !!
Do I need to burn random bushes for heart pieces? Can I carry a raft in my pocket? Can I find an old man in a cave?
God I hope so.
Man I wish Zelda was a huge epic adventure on the scale of Skyrim. I can't understand how the Zelda is the grandfather of all of these games and it is one of the only games that has not advanced to the level of most triple A Adventure RPGs. Keep everything it has just make it bigger and more complex!
