This article is poorly written and hard to take seriously in any form. It's not clear and the writer's complaints and solutions are amateurish at best. In fact, I am left wondering if this person is even familiar with Zelda as several of his statements don't make sense. He says Zelda needs to change but then praises Ocarina of Time as being a huge change by...being A Link to the Past in 3D? Really?
The article doesn't suggest solving actual problems in Zelda that needs to be changed. It's under the assumption that the initial problem is that Zelda isn't enough like Fallout and so every 'solution' is to mimic or knock off Fallout because it would be really awesome. Being able to raid dressers for rupees doesn't solve anything other than the author's fetish for going through people's personal belongings. I'm playing Lufia & the Fortress of Doom and there's practically an item hidden in every dresser and cupboard in the game. Trust me, the feature isn't as awesome as the author would like you to believe. One of my problems with Twlight Princess was that it bogged you down with too many rupees and not enough to spend it on, the solution isn't creating more arbitrary rupee dispensers. |
Some additional problems:
He ignores Majora's Mask when talking about non-handheld Zeldas that have mixed things up.
He pretends that most of the quest in Fallout 3 are worth doing for the sake of their reward, rather than for their own sake.
He also pretends that most of Fallout 3's quests weren't just derivations of the same formula dressed in different clothes.
While we're talking about sidequests, Majora's Mask again anyone?
Apparently, the only overworlds that matter are the 3D ones.

It appears I'm struggling to have an original thought tonight, every time i want to type something in a thread, someone else has already said it.
I could also add that alot of people seem now to be coming out of the woodwork saying how Zelda needs a change despite the fact that Nintendo said this themselves long ago, before they even released Twilight Princess, and are currently working to evolve the series for the new iteration.
