Gotcha. Didn't realise it's been a year already.


That's understandable. It does still seem like it only came out a few months ago. Especially considering the last of the DLC (as of now) came out this year. The 3DS version being announced this year has also kept the theme of Hyrule Warriors feeling like such a recent thing.

In fairness, we've had no fewer than 9 Zeldas released from 2011-2016, so they've still really been living up to their haters' years-old "they release only the same series over and over" argument. (SS, OoT3D, WWHD, ALBW, HW, MM3D, TFH, HWL, TPHD (it's happening, let's be real here), and Zelda U most likely, so likely 10 before next year ends).

Depends on the argument you are trying to do. For example:

- This game is a big flop from critics!

Answer: doesn't matter because it's a spin-off

 

- Aonuma must have developed a real sequel or a real mainline game

Answer: It's a mainline game. It has "The Legend of Zelda" in the title


Actually I don't see how anyone can argue that the game is a mainline game.  Link and Zelda are both absent from the game, and the plot is so out there, no reasonable person would consider it part of the main canon story.  It is, through and through, a spinoff title.  

I agree. If TFH is mainline, then so are the CD-i games. Hell, I don't even know if we can consider TFH canon considering Hytopia probably doesn't exist. 



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

Well technically neither did the Koholint Island, and Link's Awakening is still cannon.

For the record, and as a COMPLETE aside, I find this whole discussion pretty silly.

Fair point, but I was thinking in the Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland context of "don't exist," not LA. Still, fair point

Well, it may be me, but I found the demo very fun. I enjoyed the "totem" mechanic and the bosses. And it's fairly difficult. It's a nice spin-off actually, I didn't expect the quality level of a mainline Zelda game. It's rather good for what it is.

Hmm, I prefer to consider it a spinoff. Seriously, what the hell is this?

Have you seen Link with Zelda's dress? A real disaster.

How the mighty have fallen...

I considered a spin-off since the logo was showed in the reveal trailer.

But you know how the cookie crumbles...

Oh please, it's just for the fun, Link doesn't always have to be serious and in an epic mood.

Toon Link from TWW is funny and he doesn't have to dress like Zelda.

There's more than one way to be funny.
