Once Zelda goes open world, will it ever go back? *EDITED*

I don't agree with that at all. I think there 100% is a way that Zelda should not be, and many of the main games fall into that, and are therefor significantly less enjoyable because of it.

And most of those games are the 3D Zelda's. People harp on MM being such a unique Zelda, but MM is more of a classic Zelda game than OoT, TP, and SS combined. It's definitely more like Zelda NES in structure and progression that OoT ever was, which is exactly why it's both a better Zelda game and a better game on its own.

The only thing Zelda should be always is an adventure title other then that they can change up the approach to suit, the series is great for not having a uniformed approach, I can go back to each game and still enjoy them because for most part they're not trying to be clones of each other with better graphics and they each have their own focal points and way of executing the Zelda concept, that's what I like each game for what they do.

It doesn't bother me if one game doesn't do what another does and it shouldn't bother any Zelda fan either, Zelda is like the way it is to be open to the prospect differing approaches. You just end up falling in the trap of not liking one game because it's not like WW for example.

Once again, this. I enjoy Zelda games because most are very different from each other.
