| Dannythegamer said: The purpose of the trailers is to create empathy or anxiety to the players, and so they will want more information or news about the game. The game failed in this aspect. The artistic direction did not help, on the contrary, this art is a trend seen in Skyward Sword - one of the reasons why Skyward Sword be a commercial failure. Another problem in Zelda's developed by Anouma, it will always be a quiet place, with no sense of impending danger. Putting random monster from time to time will not take away the feeling of security, on the contrary. It is just "another random monster". Hyrule should always be a dangerous and mysterious place (hence the feelings in the old Zelda games, lost in these new games of this franchise - Zelda is an adventure game, but the sense of adventure was lost in recent Zeldas). Hyrule should be a place full of monsters to fight for our safety,always and continuously. This feeling was lacking in Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and especially in Skyward Sword and Nintendo DS Zelda games. Putting a whole colorful Hyrule and a monster here and another monster there, does not bring the feeling of imminent danger of the early Zelda games. |
That was pretty much all speculation and supposition...Okay, cool? I mean, you seem to be criticizing Zelda as a franchise right now, and we have already heard that this new game plans to do a lot of new things to the series.
There are many reasons that Skyward Sword didn't do amazingly well commercially, I don't think its art style was the primary concern (and even if it was, this game doesn't look like Skyward Sword). The second half of your first paragraph sounds like you like where this game is going. It is giving you a bigger world to explore with danger constantly lurking around. This game is calling back to old style Zelda games, so why are you complaining?
Also, games like LttP didn't really have a feeling of immenent danger. I could run back and forth across the map 20 times and not lose a single heart.
Overall, you are complaining about the last few Zelda games, not this new one. Wait until we see more before you start throwing a fit...
