The Legend Of Zelda Discussion Thread

What’s the fun in that?
They usually have way more options for visuals, music, mods and stuff, i prefer emulating older games (like from PS1, N64 and older) even if i bought them on some other console because of this. But hey if you have a CRT TV then using og hardware is pretty unbeatable of an experience lol

Though retro consoles and games can get pretty expensive these days.
 
I hope the success of the remake shows Nintendo that we want more classic Zelda and not Breath of the Wild 3
They'll do a hybrid. It's pretty clear as soon as you read their interviews. There's a reason Eiji Aonuma wanted to make young developers more familiar with OOT - a classic Zelda game if not THE classic one.
I love the BotW world but Ocarina of Time shows yet again how important dungeons, side characters and story telling is to Zelda games. Especially dungeons.

They could just easily follow Echoes of Wisdom design choices whilst including traditional items again. Imagine large traditional dungeons with the dungeon map, compass, dungeon item and a mini boss or two to beat while you traverse through a labyrinth/maze like dungeon which is enormous and complex in size. I think nobody would complain after that aside of the usual crybabies.

I think some mechanics in this remake are reminiscent of botw. It’s still very much classic Zelda, but you can feel some botw influence in the gameplay.
 
There was a recent Anouma interview where he said they officially have 3 types of Zelda games:

- BOTW open air style games
- Ocarina like dungeon focused games
- 2D games

I think they’re just going to make variants of all three in the future
