I know I'm in the minority, but did anyone not like the most recent 2 Zelda games? (lemmy.world)

I'm not going to deny that they are good games, they definitely are. However, there are some design choices made with BOTW and TOTK that really make me separate them from the rest of the series.

The item degradation, the voice acting, the open worldness, all these things aren't what I want from a Zelda, and because of that, I doubt I'll ever replay those games again. Again, not bad games at all, and if anyone said they were their favorite games, I'd totally understand that.

But does anyone else wish that we would get a more traditional Zelda game again?

Maybe I can't answer your question because I haven't played them... Yet.

But I also feel them like almost a different franchise altogether.

I remember once I read this was like the technological evolution of Zelda as of today, meaning this is what the Zelda experience must to be for today's standards, as revolutionary as the first TLOZ was or OOT in their age and time.

I couldn't relate with this feeling completely because I never played them on their current time lol.

The only games I have played are the following in this order:

Phantom Hourglass (good entry I think)

Twilight Princess (edgy)

Ocarina of Time (timeless (?))

Majora's Mask (my favorite)

A Link To The Past (hard as balls to me)

And I definitely have the new games on my sight, it doesn't help that my gf insists and insists that I play them lol.

But they feel very different for me already, but I don't think that's necessarily bad, maybe they can coexists wether Nintendo remaking old stuff or creating smaller experiences for the older fans, handhelds used to have this spot, and I don't think next consoles are not going to be hybrid tbh, only time will tell how Zelda games evolve.

A Link to the Past was and still is my favorite Zelda game.
