Apparently there were a lot of people excited to play The Last Guardian on PS3 then ultimately have to wait years until it was a PS4 exclusive. With Ico and SoTC, fans were eager to know more and get their hands on it just like BoTW. And although Zelda doesn't have new main series game on Wii U, it's not like Zelda fans were left off to dry. Hyrule Warriors and HD remakes/remastered of WW and TP were released. Then you got OoT and MM 3D, Triforce Heroes, and ALBW on 3DS. Some would complain they added too much from the series before releasing BoTW. Not necessarily saying you're wrong but it's an interesting comparison in general. As I stated in the previous comment, I wonder about the reception about those games changing consoles after years of supposedly being planned for the last gen consoles. |
From what I recall TLG only had like one trailer during the whole PS3 era with the next footage emerging when it was a PS4 game only, this is a far cry from Zelda which is much more heavily cover in comparison to these two with actual recent footage and public hands on events. It was far more clear that Versus which went on to be XV and TLG had a big chance of being canned on their platforms, the former was continuously put on hold so other projects could be completed while the latter had internal conflicts, both projects also were never given release dates or coverage comparable to BOTW.
Essentially these games weren't just randomly canned overnight like what some people are betting will happen with BOTW, the's no real reason to can BOTW other than a cause a PR disaster.
