This is kind of how I felt when Zelda went 3D.  To me the 2D Zelda games of the NES/SNES were the "real" Zeldas.  Every 10-20 years Nintendo decides to reinvent Zelda and go in a completely new direction with it.

Well, but Zelda has it's 2D-entries still. While admittedly Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks felt somewhat strange, what did you think of a Link between Worlds? Not satisfying enough for 2D-zelda-crave?

I think there will be a handheld type/ top down Zelda game come to Switch. That's the beauty of the hybrid hook, you can get a full fat console version and one that's more tailored to quick pick up and play. The unified platform opens a lot of doors for Nintendo.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the least "Nintendo" feeling game available on the Switch right now. Now if only they could bring back F-Zero properly, GX was awesome imo.

Nintendo is not going to get any new PS4/XB1/PC gamers. They already came out with the consoles 2 biggest heavy hitters, i don't see them making more games of that calibre.

Well it's not the "2D" part by itself that I like.  It is the action from the NES Zelda games that I really like.  (The action in Link to the Past is pretty good too.)  For some reason, shortly after Link to the Past, even 2D Zelda games and Zelda clones became more about puzzle solving and less about action in itself.  I remember playing this 2D PS1 game, Alundra, which I liked at first, but the more I got into it, the more it became about puzzles, so after a couple of dungeons I quit, because that wasn't what I was really looking for.  I haven't tried every 2D or 3D Zelda game or Zelda clone, but the ones I have tried have all been about puzzles which I don't like.

I've only tried Link Between Worlds for a couple of hours.  I didn't love it or hate it.  I need to play it more before I can say how much I like it, but I can say that it didn't grab me immediately like the NES Zeldas did.  Ironically, a game I liked more is "Adventure Time: Hey Ice King Why Did You Steal Our Garbage?"  This is an action oriented Zelda 2 clone.  It was fun.  I think Adventure Time has a Link to the Past clone, so I need to give that one a shot.

You should totally play The Binding of Isaac. That game is all about action in the Style of classic NES Zelda.

Hopefully, more people will buy F-Zero if its as good as GX (from what I heard). While GX had a positive reception, the sales weren't exactly something to write home about.

What makes you think that? They can create more games of BoTW and Odyssey. Of course, it takes time but if Sony is able to put out Uncharted 4, Horizon, and God of War, I don't see how Nintendo can't do something similar. I mean, Smash Bros. and Pokémon are already considered heavy hitters as well and if things go well for both those games, you never know.

Even back in the Wii, Nintendo had Twilight Princess, Prime 3, Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros. Brawl, and Mario Kart Wii with 2-3 years during the Wii era.

It's on my short list of games I plan to play soon.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

It takes 5 years to make another Zelda.

So, you're in a boat with Rol, who thinks Aonuma made Zelda too 'puzzly'. Hmm, maybe. I'm personally not sure if I would like a more action-route. Although I do like Hyrule Warriors. So, I'm not sure about myself. But people are different. BOTW mixed it up for me just right. Dunno how all that works for you.

A new 3D-Zelda. 2D-Zeldas always were interspersed. In the above example also only one Zelda (TP) is included. The list consist of different heavy-hitter series.
