End of an Era For Zelda
Twilight Princess will represent the end of an era for Zelda games, according to Shigeru Miyamoto.From the Eurogamer article: "'This will be, without a doubt, the last Zelda game as you know it in its present form,' Miyamoto is quoted as saying. He declined to reveal any more details as to how the series will be reborn, but did go on to assure fans that Twilight Princess will be absolutely aces: 'Our goal was to make the best Zelda game ever. The most rich, satisfying and [melancholic]. I worked on it personally, moreso than Wind Waker. I haven't invested as much into any game as I have this one,' Miyamoto said."
Right, that's why people regard Ocarina as one of the worst games of all time. "FPS" model for Zelda? What FPS are you talking about? First Person Shooter? Zelda was a platformer/adventure game, in third person. Frames Per Second? Wind Waker played pretty smooth for me. Or are you insinuating that Zelda should be first person ala metroid prime? If you are then let me be the first to punch you in the face.
He said that Zelda would reborn in some different way. Not back to 2D. MMORPG maybe? Hyrule Online, that would kick ass! I wanna be a Zora motherfucker, and have one of those bitchin' bone guitars!
Anyway, just because you're an old bastard that had to walk 15 miles to school everyday, through snow, uphill bothways, and doesn't like this new fangled "3D" thing, doesn't mean other people don't, and judging by the reviews for the past 3 3d zelda games (OoT, MM and WW) and the amount of hype over this new title, it looks like you're in a very small minority.
