Complaining that the overworld in TP was empty...it's just so obvious of a complaint that it's pretty much redundant, clearly written by someone who has an over-inflated ego and wants to appear smart and 'objective'.

What's with the angry reaction? I know it's obvious but I am expecting opinions and comments instead of just attacking. I know you like the Zelda series as much as I do. I am just stating what I see needs to change to improve the game

Oh it's your blog? Then I apologise for my behaviour. I'm not disagreeing with you, your main point is spot on It's just that I however find the fact that your commenting on a flaw that has been criticized since the games release to be somewhat pointless. I also think that the franchise needs to evolve and move away from the formula that OoT created however I have always felt that a blog is the wrong place to make points on the series' future. Many times I have seen such blog entries which also make statments on flaws of previous games and then proceed to list possible suggestions for future games so that they may improve on them.

There is nothing wrong with this in and of it'self, however the problem I have with this approach is that because the franchise is so special to people and each player has different things which they find appealing about the series, it neglects others opinions and often comes across as little more than 'Nintendo should do THIS, and if they can't do THIS then they have failed'. Granted your blog is noway near the levels of biggotry you will find on other blogs, however with a title like 'What's Wrong with The Legend of Zelda?' it just seems like a very one-sided artical which disregards the fandom as a whole. I would be more than willing to discuss the flaws of the franchise, possible means to correct them and the further evolution of the series, but as I said it should be a discussion, not a one-way series of statments drawn from a single person's own opinions.

i think you'll find that a lot of people are discussing here... but obviously in order to have a discussion someone needs to start it all off.. which is what the OP has done. he hasn't said "this is right and anyone who says otherwise is wrong".

"pointless"-? in what way? and if a thread like this (who said it wa a blog?) isnt the right place to talk about a video game, on a video game website, then where is the "right" place?

cheer up eh, stop acting so superior.

edit: i totally forgot to put my own view.. i agree that hyrule field is a bit big and empty. i mean, its a nice field to just go for a run with epona and practice and stuff... and i guess the fact that its empy is kinda realistic.... but it would be nice if things were shaken up ever so slightly.'

First of all the link of the articals origin is: 'taiga-viejodani.blogspot.com' Secondly you misinterpreted. I have NO issue with discussions of this nature taking place on forums, ney it's a good process through which thoughts and ideas can be exchanged. I simply find however, that a discussion starter that comes from a blog is inherrently flawed as a blog is a one-way means of communication which doesn't rely on additional input from other users.
