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?

I wasn’t yet alive when SNES Zelda was new

And

Or maybe I’m just getting old and bitter lol

That’s an interesting combination there. Time for me to turn into dust and mold 👴🏻💀👻

But seriously, this shows that what anything is, definitively, changes over time. Nostalgia not only cling to the past, not only cling to a singularly myopic version of the past, but actually clings to a version of the past that never truly existed.
