Nothing against preference but talking about a whole attitude of an era. Tho he's an idiot in general. The last vapor of that came with David jaffe using AI to make Zeld alook bland and generic Skyrim saying he fixed it. This is from the guy who could not figure his way out of a room in Metroid Dread, however. BoTW pretty much killed anything left from that era tho. As for a darker aesthetic for a Zelda game. I did like Darksiders a lot. Esp 1-2. Tho it still had a heavy art style. So to be clear no you are not an idiot. The idiots are the ones being dumb about it like Jaffe here. They didn't actually want Mature Zelda half the time they really just wanted to mock Nintendo for being "kiddie". |
BOTW/TOTK I thought struck a great balance where they were still stylized and whimsical, but it still had some darker vibes and non-Chibi characters. As someone who loved Ocarina and Twilight Princess, I also loved BOTW and TOTK.
Still, I would absolutely love to someday see a Zelda game built with the art style of the 2011 Wii U tech demo which I thought looked gorgeous:
When it comes to 7th gen vs 8th gen, I did find BOTW to be better than either Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, even if Wii gets points for having 2 rather than 1.
On the other hand, for me Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 > Mario 3D World, Kirby's Epic Yarn and Return to Dreamland > Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Metroid Prime 3 combined > Tropical Freeze alone, Metroid Prime 3 > no Metroid at all, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn > no Fire Emblem at all, Animal Crossing City Folk > no Animal Crossing at all, etc.
