Nintendo struck gold with Breath of the Wild's open-world style of gameplay, but it shouldn't forget The Legend of Zelda's beloved beginnings.
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.
We just got the classic 2D games through NSO, they remade Link's Awakening, not to mention they gave an indie developer the chance to make their own LoZ game with Cadence of Hyrule.
They're not dropping classic LoZ, so not sure why this is an article.
They should revisit the lands of the Oracle games in a sequel rather than a remake, and go back to the seas of Wind Waker. Tho if they go back to Wind Waker a fully explorable underwater Hyrule in the style BoTW would be way cooler.
I think Breath of the Wild is the perfect evolution for 3D Zelda games. They can still improve on many aspects, like adding more classic dungeon design, but overall botw is a great template for Zelda games moving forward.
I would love to see more 2D Zelda games though in addition to the 3D ones and not just remakes. An original game in the style of Links awakening would be awesome
