At the Zelda Masterclass panel at Japan Expo in Paris, producer Eiji Aonuma revealed that Link is still the playable character in the upcoming Champions’ Ballad DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
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.
So Champion's Ballad takes place AFTER defeating Ganon?
That's freaking AWESOME. I've always wanted to play a Zelda where you can explore the world after it's been freed from the grips of the final boss, to see what's changed and what you can do to help rebuild.
This is going to be great.
