Well one thing stayed the same OoT was always 1st place. Lol. |
The thing that made OoT great was that it was about a kid who had to grow up. That couldn't have happened without him being a child. I don't think I've ever thought about OoT as an "adult Link" game. It's a game that forces a young Link to become an adult as it's gimmick. It's an effective gimmick, and I wouldn't change it, but it was that game's thing.
I don't hate adult Link. I've gone on record saying that if a sequel to MM was ever made, I would want him, no, need him to be the older Link. But that has context relating to the overarching story and theme of the Hero of Time. In OoT, Link had to grow up prematurely. In MM, Link had to deal with loss, lonelyness, and mortality. In this theoretical sequel, it would deal with how all that effects him when he really does truely grow up.
That's when it's okay to use adult Link. Not because he looks more "bad ass" or because that what idiot "hardcore" fans think Zelda should be. I heard someone at IGN say that Zelda is Skyrim or Dark Souls. I wanted to hit him.
