A total victory for Elder Scrolls as the king of RPGs.


The Witcher goes open world
The Dragon Age guys praise Skyrim and go open world
The Dark Souls guys praise Elder Scrolls and take an open world approach
The Dragon's Dogma guys praising and making a Japanese Elder Scrolls

...and now even the Zelda guys realize they want to learn from the master!

They only need to learn from Skyrim because they've lost touch with their roots. The original Zelda was the mother AND father of all open world games; Nintendo just needs to remember that. I'm glad they're looking at other games if that will enhance the Zelda experience.

Yeah I know.

Zelda should go back to true open worlds. Not become Elder Scrolls, because Elder Scrolls is not only an open world game, it's an RPG simulation.

Zelda doesn't need to become a simulation and lose it's identity by adding tons of character features, statistics, items and NPCs who are aware of your presence. They only need to do like CD Project does with The Witcher 3, get rid of the linearity in the over-world.
