The Legend of Zelda has been my favourite franchise for almost my entire life, ever since I played A Link to the Past at age ... 4 or 5?

Unfortunately, much like the opening poster here, Breath of the Wild makes me really sad. Almost every semblence of what makes a Zelda game Zelda is gone, and given the hugely positive reception to it, it's not likely to stray away from the course that Breath of the Wild has put it on.

It wouldn't be as bad if any other game series was similar to Zelda, but unfortunately it's always been one-of-a-kind. People could never really say "Oh, it's just like Zelda" about any other game series, and unfortunately, that statement now holds true for Zelda as well.
