The NX is confirmed to be a home console. (not that it needed any confirmation)

Wouldn't that limit what they could do with a console Zelda? Like, imagine Zelda U having a 3DS version of the same game. If they wanted to make it so you can have an identicle expierence on both platforms, the Wii U version would need to be downgraded a lot (Similar to how the Ice Climbers were cut from SSB4 altogether because they couldn't get them on the 3DS, even though they were working on the Wii U).

The N3DS is capable of running XBC. Hyrule Warriors is playable. It wouldn't limit anything. Especially on a system specifically designed for that kind of thing.

It wouldn't be an identical experience, it would be a similar one. Smash on 3DS is different from Smash on Wii U, even though they are effectively the same game. Borderlands on Vita isn't identical. Bioshock on mobile isn't identical. 

The NX version wouldn't be downgraded at all. The handheld version would be scaled down from the console version, not the other way around. The omission of the Ice Climbers is insignificant. If that's the extent of the "downgrades" for the home console versions, we'll be more than fine.

Goodo pointo broo
