I wouldn't want to predict what Nintendo will do with the series going forwards. The open seas of WW, the discrete areas of SS, the time-travelling weirdness of MM, or the "OoT model" seen in both OoT and TP are all different ways of presenting a 3D world. Given their propensity then to change this then, I think it would be a brave person who says Nintendo will make all their Zelda games "open world" from now on. |
I'd say they're all already open world they just have different structures applied to them with the new game going for a more seamless approach. Zelda has mainly been about changing approach to the concept, I'm in the group that likes each game for what they do rather then what they don't do from previous games and this is a problem in the Zelda following where a lot of people thinks the's a uniform way Zelda should be.
The new approach may add a mainstay to the concept like some previous games have though with it's seamless world having a good possibility of becoming a template for future gaming world.

Yep, well I pretty much agree with all of that.
It is true that this game could be the start of adding open-world or seamless world or whatever you want to call it to the concept of what Zelda is, in the same way that ALttP and OoT changed the direction of the Zelda series quite dramatically into a more story and puzzle-orientated affair. The thing is, I don't think we've seen that kind of redefining or tweaking the Zelda concept really since those games, so I still wouldn't predict it.
