Considering the quality of their recent entries, I'm fine with them sticking to remakes.


ALBW?

I'll pass. It doesn't look like a game I'm interested in.

The last Zelda game to come out that I played to completion was Majora's Mask. Since then, from everything I've seen and played, the series has been sliding downhill.

But you didn't play all of them (or most) going by your comment? And your saying its going downhill on top of that? :-/

If your not interested thats fine but dont talk about something your not even able to^



The Zelda for Wii U will have some seriously big shoes to fill. I think many fans might have been banking on the tech demo/trailer that was showed a few years back (Personally, I gravitate more towards darker, slightly grittier games)

Time will tell how Zelda's debut on the Wii U will go down. Certainly won't be the last, hopefully there are no delays.

You aren't at least a little disappointed that they reused the overworld for ALBW? Also, I personally really enjoyed Phantom Hourglass. I felt like that game had a lot of really interesting side quests and activities outside of the traditional dungeons. I'm curious as well to how me saying ALBW rehashing the same world as ALttP would be akin to claiming TP rehashes OoT. What does TP reuse? The art style?

It's not that it reuses stuff like ALBW did, but that it really doesn't have that much new ideas in it

Zant, Minda, and Wolf are all really interesting characters, but that's about it.

You do the first 3 dungeons then get the Master Sword, sounds familiar?

Then do you a few more dungeons, then the final boss.

The first part is a carbon copy of the OoT boss, except it is Zelda instead of Ganondorf

The rest of the final boss is pretty good, the other 3 stages were interesting.

Although TP is my favorite Zelda, I do have to admit it really doesn't try anything that hasn't been done before. It just feels like Ocarina of Time 2, I must say


3 dungeons and then the master sword? Isn't that the same beginning as ALttP? I personally can't fault a franchise for feeling similar in those kinds of ways. If I did that then I'd fault every game that ever had a sequel. ALBW's development began with a ctrl+c then a ctrl+v and then they started programming.

And if they remake the past 5 zeldas again, they should be just as great and you will still be happy? That's how it works right? Personally, I think zelda has been consistently good since like 1995. I can't continue to say that if they don't make more games.


No, but they won't, because remaking a game more than once or that only recently came out is stupid. Remaking 10+ year old games isn't. Two original Zelda games came out since Skyward Sword did in 2011. That was less than 4 years ago. A new mainline console one is coming out this year. Stop complaining.

I don't care how much you like this series, you do NOT tell me that I can't talk about it because I don't like it as much as you do.

Nobody said that lol. You talkas if the Franchise is going downhill, your opinion of not liking the games is fine but dont act like you speak for everyone else, especially when ALBW was highly praised, something the DS duo weren't (though they weren't bad games)

So you're saying that there is going to be only one truly new zelda game this gen compared to four in the 7th gen? Well of those four games 2 of them were ST and PH which were dog and another could be played on a 6th gen console in TP, therefore skyward sword is the only decent zelda game to be played exclusively on a 7th gen console.

Personally i think this gen will still outshine last in terms of quality. I'd take solid remakes of OOT, WW, MM plus ALBW over those 2 obominations on DS and a wii port of TP. Then that leaves us with Skyward sword versus zelda U and although I like SS i do think that Zelda U will be a better game.
