Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are both fantastic games - and Tears of the Kingdom really does feel (to me) like they just took Breath of the Wild, and added a few more years of dev time to it.
Where do you think Nintendo will take Zelda from here though? Can they keep with the same new formula? Should they? Will a more traditional game feel disappointing after this?
I don’t really know what I want myself. I think they should try something different though. At the same time, I can’t help but think I’d be disappointed if the next game was more similar to something like Twilight Princess. Have they boxed themselves in?
I get what you’re saying and I’d be disappointed if they stopped doing older style zelda games just like you. But I also the BotW and TotK are amazing games in their own right and you’re missing out. You should give them a shot.
I did try BotW. Finished it, even. But I didn’t enjoy it, sadly, which leaves me in the position I’m in. I’m not inclined to try TotK given it is very similar to its predecessor.
