If Wind waker is a good example of a good story driven Zelda game in good demand, then why are sales so pathetic? Why does the HD version with all the improvements have even more pathetic sales?? The data is crystal clear, Puzzelda doesn’t hold a candle to open world Zelda. And most importantly: open world Zelda lights the world on fire and moves hardware, lots of it. OoT is a different beast. OoT is a great game indeed, and it still carries a lot of what makes the older titles great. |
I would say this is a wrongful analysis.
Those games didn't sell "bad" (well this is relative since they probably turned a nice profit anyway) because the old formula is bad, they sell "bad" because people don't want remakes/re-releases of games. People want new games.
