Excellent news! Best Zelda since Ocarina of Time and already on par with it.

Can't wait to see the team keep pushing this formula. What kind of worlds will they create?

Pretty sure this is expected, Zelda is like the main event on their platforms and the open world sand box approach gave BOTW a GTA like appeal as the focus is more on the world.

Thank God. I think he knows he did good this time.

Zelda is my favorite franchise but... yeah, I'll probably move on after BotW if this is the route they're taking. I'm happy for those that like the new formula but I just prefer the old one a lot more.

It would be interesting to see them try a non-linear open-world with a time travel mechanic either like OoT or MM

The new formula is fresh and fantastic and I think there's potentially still a room for improvement.
So new formula all the way.

It's bittersweet to me. I absolutely adore BotW and I definitely want other titles like this. I wish they could find a happy medium with it, as I still love the traditional Zelda of finding new awesome items to use all game.
Perhaps they'll find a happy medium for this, and honestly I would prefer it being more like 80/20 open world/traditional, but I would like to see a way for them to do some of the old stuff as well. Might be hard to find uses for hookeshots/clawshots if Link can climb anything :(

They may tweak the formula. The hookshoot was already an item in every 3D Zelda and some 2D ones. It is time to move on from those traditional items, or at least, in the traditional usage.

I think they are going to expand on the idea of runes or maybe create new items. At the worst, some traditional items are going to get new interesting ways to use them.

Puke.

I knew this was coming, but hearing it said outright puts the nail in the coffin.

just follow the main story its the same shit.
