| Wagram said: Surprisingly I thought the story in Skyward sword was a step up for the series. It felt like there was more of an emotional connection between the characters and I really enjoyed that. I'm not finished with the game yet, but i'm fairly close to done. I do agree that they need to add some voice acting. |
I agree. Skyward Sword has the best story and storytelling in the series.
As far as the OP goes...I don't think there's anything wrong with the story in Zelda games. They've managed to sneak in a lot of twists, new characters, and different story arcs within the main narrative over the past 26 years.
In terms of a huge world to explore with lots of secret items and surprises, again I think Nintendo has that covered. Skyward Sword moved a little away from that, and I think that was a miscalculation. I think Zelda should be getting more open-ended, not less so. But Nintendo should be given credit for trying to reinvent the franchise, especially when there wasn't exactly fan outcry to do so.
And, lastly, voice acting. I'd just as soon keep it out. It's part of the franchise, and I think it works.
For me, The Legend of Zelda is the best video game franchise of all time. And it's pretty much perfect. Nintendo will continue to put its best talent behind the upcoming Zelda games, whether they're in HD or not.
