| Pyro as Bill said: Hype? After Skyward Sword, Zelda was dead to me. The Zelda turnaround is one of Nintendo's most impressive achievements. Fingers crossed they ignore the people who want to introduce game breaking mechanics to the next installment. |
Interesting, I feel like Skyward Sword wasn't well liked when it came out and recently has been getting more popular as I've seen people wanting an HD version on the Switch. Kinda like how Wind Waker wasn't liked cuz of its cel shaded graphics but later on it seems to have become a favorite.
I never played Skyward Sword as I began a video game hiatus before it came out that lasted until I got a Switch. But Twilight Princess was basically the same for me as SS was for you. Not that TP was terrible, but it just made me feel like Zelda had gotten kinda bland. The game was fine, even good, but not that exciting. And the wolf mechanic was tedious and downright boring so I disliked turning into the wolf.
A change in the Zelda format I think was desperately needed for a good long while so I'm glad they did that with BotW!
