If you're thinking the new Zelda is like Skyrim, think again.
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.
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.
I played 100 hours of Tears of the Kingdom, enjoyed it, but ready for a game like that next.
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
The comparisons between video games these days really dont make any sense.
Nioh - dark souls
Zelda - horizon zero dawn, skyrim, the witcher.
Why do these games need to be compared.
Because Nioh is difficult and has a stamina bar its a Dark Souls type of game?
Because Zelda is a open world game its the same as Horizon zero dawn?
People really need to stop comparing these games with each other.
If you wanted Skyrim wouldn't you just buy, I dunno, Skyrim?
I guess it's the closes thing to compare it to. What can we compare it to then, Need for Speed?
It's a fantasy open world adventure game, other games like that are elder scrolls, witcher etc. as stated in the article.
And thank goodness for that. For Skyrim I have, well, Skyrim. Seriously though, comparisons are bound to be drawn with large open world fantasy games. The author of the article is as entitled to their opinion as anyone else. If it's not for him, fair enough.
I don't think I'd go into any Zelda game expecting it to be like Skyrim of course, but then I've played all of the Zelda games so I know what to expect. Even if this one changes up the formula quite dramatically. Wish the bloody delivery driver would hurry up so I can play the damn thing though :D
