I recognize evolution and change as being positive things, but I'm reading posts in this thread that say stuff like "people wanted change and now they've got it" and stuff like that
Am I alone in being ready and willing to pay money to play OoT 2.0 for the rest of time? Like it is great that they are giving us this huge new game with all of these features but I'd play new Oracle of ____ games on 3DS (even if they had same graphics as the other Oracle games) if it meant we got the games a bit closer together
I am hyped up for this game but I don't have this huge feeling like "oh man all this waiting is going to pay off!"
Last time we waited a few years and got Skyward Sword... not saying this game is going to be as underwhelming as that was, just that I don't need them to reinvent the wheel, just make a good Zelda game a bit more often
In this regard Nintendo kind of has a kind of a funny history here with Zelda when you stop and think about it.
When they were launching the Gamecube, they showed off a Zelda demo that was basically adult Link in a souped up Ocarina of time... and people loved it. Then x(?) years later they showed off the Zelda they were actually making, Wind Waker with toon Link... and people lost their **** . Zelda fans were crying, and non-Zelda fans were making fun of them.
Game design and concept art is typically started quite early in the process, so these reactions were probably a key influence in the style they chose for Twilight Princess. Yet in hindsight, despite all the fuss people loved Windwaker but were indifferent to Twilight Princess. I'm sure Nintendo learned a lesson here, and for Skyward Sword and now Breath of the Wild they've chosen an art style that's something inbetween WW and TP. A little closer to TP in SS, and now back a little more towards WW in BW.

Twlight Princess had some neat ideas though. The problem was it was buried in the pile of **** that is known as the first half of the game.
The one thing i don't want them to change is the standard; do some **** to open dungeon, and then go defeat dungeon. If you wanna throw in some side stuff, then by all means. But make it optional. This game looks like it'll have something like that.
As people have said, if you just take the model used from ALBW and expand on it, i think you got something really good on your hands.
i heard that it was an option
you can play ALBW style or you can play normal style

OoT is basically the LttP formula in 3D.
We've mostly been playing through rehashes of LttP since 1998 (when OoT released which was the first non held Zelda since 1991).
So no, I'm very glad they are ditching the formula.
And Skyward Sword gets way too much hate, the game was fine and much more fun than Twilight Princess.
I never understood the Skyward Sword hate outside of maybe the controls (though I never had an issue with it and actually I thought it worked well). It looks good, I liked having the puzzles out in the environment as well.
I do agree that a big shakeup of the formula is more than welcome right now. Hell one common complaint about SS was it didn't shake things up enough.
Skyward Sword suffered from a really boring overworld: I enjoyed the game but most of it came from the dungeons (which I thought were mostly outstanding).
Agreed
Twilight Princess was absolute chore all the way through
However, the Skyward Sword overworld was painfully linear, there was more exploration in Twilight Princess
Easily the most popular demo here at E3. The lineups to try it out are hilariously long.
See, because TP was my first 3D title - maybe I love it because of that, but i always have to wonder why people feel it is a chore or something, because i thought it was amazing. (and I think something really close to a OoT throw back - once i played OoT at first).
I didn't like Majora's mask at first (the whole rewind time thing threw me off and ticked me off for a while but i really ended up liking it. in the end. I felt the same thing about SS... I think up until after the first temple then I got engrossed. (but i won't lie. they need to make SS-HD, so the stupid motion control can be done with).
I hated Majora's Mask.
I probably would have liked it had it not been a Zelda game however, and since it really did not need to be one I believe it was a poor use of the label.
The idea of a game not matching up to the brand's expected tropes is a strange one, especially when MM's differences in relation to the Zelda series is what makes it a cult classic game.
