| Louie said: I'm happy for the people who are hyped for this game, enjoy it! That being said, I was so hoping for BotW 2 infos or OoT/MM/WW/TP news when Aonuma appeared. I think it's a bit disingenuous to directly speak to the people who liked and jumped in with BotW and tell them they'll like Skyward Sword because of things like the stamina meter lol. Sure, some BotW mechanics were introduced in Skyward Sword - but in terms of world building and progression Skyward Sword is the polar opposite of Breath of the Wild. "So, you liked our open world game that gives you more freedom than any title ever before, which you love because you can explore it at your own pace? Well, try out the most linear Zelda game ever with a focus on puzzles that only have one solution, because it also has the stamina meter!"... I'm not saying Skyward Sword is a bad game, but to specifically talk to the people who like Breath of the Wild and are probably new to the series? They are going to be rather disappointed if they come in with the wrong expectations. |
He starts that section by saying it was the last Zelda to still use the old conventions. He warns people right there that it is not like Breath of the Wild. The translation mentions it gives a glimpse into features and innovations that made it into BotW, key words being "gives a glimpse". They even give specific examples like climbing on vines instead of just climbing and he's catching a butterfly with a net so you can see it's different. At no point do they try to imply that there is a vast world to freely explore.
They specifically ask people to try out the game even though it is different, yet you somehow interpret that the complete opposite way.
