Games journalism makes me sad.
As great developers as Bioware are, they shouldn't and won't ever be given a shot at a Zelda game. Zelda is an action adventure game, and has created, defined and re-defined that genre for over 20 years. What games have Bioware made that suddenly makes them qualified to take the Zelda series forward? The only action adventure games to be on a par with Zelda over the years (in my opinion) are games such as Ico, Okami and Beyond Good and Evil.
If games want to be taken more seriously, games criticism needs to be a more serious business. If they wanted more RPG elements in Zelda, they should say that in a mature way. They could have come up with a couple of observations of which mechanics in Zelda they think need to be more RPG like, or what RPG mechanics they think Nintendo should borrow from Bioware and adapt to Zelda. Not a "lol Zelda r watered down RPG biowaarrr shud mek it lol". By stating their opinion the way they have, it goes from legitimate, professional games criticism to barely contained trolling.
