Sad to hear.



It has been so for a good while now.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

I'm not kidding!!

I just checked the charts here and it said that Breath of The Wild was at 7.63 million units, while Ocarina of Time was right below at 7.60 million units!!

A new best-selling Zelda game has been crowned!! :D

It's been the best selling for a while now tbh, Nintendo's last quarter report had the Switch version at 9.6m, when you factor in we know the Wii U version has sold 1.5m at least from numbers in Japan it's on it's way to 12m total.



Well, the franchise needed this installment! Certainly gave Zelda a wider audience... My issue is... Now every other Zelda game will be like BOTW for a long time...

I'm not so sure about that, If Nintendo has an idea that is completely different they are the kind of company that would explore that

Yeah, but with the success of this game they're probably more likely to build upon the Breath of The Wild formula.

Maybe in the next game we'll get the Hookshot. :)

I do want them to build on BOTW, that game was a magical experience

As good as BotW is, there is still a lot of room for improvement.  As long as they build off of what they established, it will just get better and better.  There is a lot of room for fresh ideas with this model.
