Why Zelda Endures

Few franchises can keep bringing the quality, even after a quarter of a century. Here's how the Hero of Time pulled it off.

Because people are afraid to admit that Nintendo isn't perfect. I enjoy Zelda, sure, but it's not without flaws and few are willing to admit such.

cemelc5272d ago

Lol flaws exist in almost every game zelda has flaws but i play it cos is my favorite type of game dont know why all the bashing against it.

Dont like it? Dont play it no one is forcing you to do it.

I like the game the way it is, i dont want the game to change just so Lord_Sloth can get get into the series. Look for another IP theres plenty to go around in the industry.

Lord_Sloth5272d ago

And they get defensive, like this guy, even when I said I liked Zelda.

cemelc5272d ago (Edited 5272d ago )

The game is made from ground up the way it is, do you want to make the game something that is not. Most of the changes ppl ask for are the core of the game.

Yeah of course im defensive, i dont want zelda to become the next resident evil 5, or how about DMC they ruined it for us the old fans of the series.

You cant change the grounds of an existing ip however you can create a new one, thats why go for another game cos zelda will not change what it is.

Captain Tuttle5272d ago

I don't think they're afraid but nostalgia can be a cruel mistress.

zerocrossing5272d ago (Edited 5272d ago )

Change nothing and people complain about it being the same, change too much and people complain about it straying to far from a tried and true formula, how do you win?

I think that's what Zelda has become now, its' the game you play that gives you enough change to make the purchase of the new iteration worth it, but keeps enough the same so we can all experience a bit of nostalgia.

Megaman_nerd5272d ago

I kind of agree with that but in my case, Zelda has always been my #1 favorite franchise since when I started gaming in the late 80's but around the GameCube era I just became bored of the franchise. The thing is that when you're a long time Zelda fan you kind of know what you can expect out of it and even predict what they gonna change for the next one to make it feel fresh and I don't like that.

I'm tired of every character, no matter the timeline being Link and Zelda. I'm tired of the characters being silent. I'm tired of the secondary characters looking so silly. I'm tired of the puzzle collections. I'm tired of the always straight forward battle system. I'm tired of always finding and using the same items.

Zelda is one of those franchises that I wouldn't care if Nintendo pulled a DMC on it because I'm just so tired of the same crap that I just want something truly fresh even if that involves turning Link into an emo with an ugly haircut. We seen Mario evolve, we seen Metroid evolve but Zelda is still stuck with the same old formula since 1998, only prettier and with some gimmicks on top.

@Megaman_nerd

I know exactly where you're coming from.

You mite just get what you're asking for eventually as miyamoto hinted Retro studios mite be given the chance to work on a Zelda title, going by how well they handled Metroid and Donkey Kong we could be in for a real treat if true.

Kos-Mos5272d ago

And we have people like you that is afraid of art, beauty, gameplay and pure fun.
See how easy it is too make your statement look el stupido?
Try again lord slut.

Lord_Sloth5272d ago

Again, another person who assumes I hate Zelda even though my very post said otherwise. Also, personal attack=no fun.

The series endures because the basic design is timeless: it doesn't get old. When a game has this kind of design, you could play the same iteration over and over endlessly(If it is the kind of game you like obviously). Each sequel adds a new venue to "continue" your adventure, along with minor changes to freshen it up just a bit.

How about the original Legend of Zelda remade with the Echoes of Wisdom engine. Maybe throw in added dungeons, or expand the map to make the game longer than the original.

meganick62d ago

A Zelda 1 remake would be great, but not with the Echoes of Wisdom art style. I find it unappealing.

Neonridr61d ago

I'd even suggest a Link to the Past as well. Would love a more modern HD look using the Links Awakening / Echoes engine.

jreeves8262d ago

I would like Twilight Princess HD for Switch or Switch 2.

Redgrave62d ago

A movie trailer, or nothing if Mario's was anything to go by

Link Should Talk, but Choose His Words Carefully in The Legend of Zelda Movie

Link should have a voice in The Legend of Zelda Movie. While he mostly stays quiet in the games, he canonically does speak but usually holds back on expressing his thoughts. In a movie format, it is better for the character and the story itself that Link speaks.

I just hope it's not a bunch MCU Snarky McJokeface dialog. Started playing veilguard free on PSN (would not recommend) and it's a perfect example of how dialog in contemporary entertainment is garbage.
