Nintendo to kill Zelda

http://monstervine.com/exclusive-the-next-zelda-what-we-know-so-far/

Here's some information about the new Zelda game, I'll take out the highlight from the article.

"New Zelda could go casual"

Thanks again for killing yet another of my favorite series, Nintendo.

So it'll be more accessible? Can't see how thats a bad thing.

BTW, this is all rumor.

"–This "Zelda team" is made of younger developers, it is explained that new faces will possibly bring new ideas to the series."

Assuming this is true this raises my hopes for the project.

The article surmised that this could be the best Zelda yet.... You are pointing out one line, that is still conjecture in itself... Fail.... Troll or what? rolo107

Basically everything in that list is all speculation...

accessible =/= casual

They were saying Super Mario Galaxy would be more accessible as well...look how that turned out.TreyoftheDead

It turned out to be much, much easier than Super Mario 64. That's how it turned out. The only "difficult" challenge in the game was 100 purple coin challenge in Toy Time Galaxy...and even that wasn't all that hard. Galaxy was great fun, no doubt. But it is thes easiest Mario platformer ever made.

Yes, it is easier. However, it by no means killed Mario.

Go back and replay SM64. The only time it is noticably more difficult than SMG is when the camera is in an akward place or when to controls are not quite as precise as SMG.

TP was easy with boss battles and such. However, it didn't hold your hand. You could get clues from Midna if you wanted to. It didn't tell you what to do every step of the way. I'm betting that the new Zelda will completely hold your hand every step of the way and alienate the hardcore fans. Nintendo is seeing how casuals are flocking to Wii. Now Nintendo will try to somehow find a balance for Zelda that satifies hardcore fans and new, casual fans. While doing this though, I think the next Zelda will end up making hardcore fans angry because it will be way too simplified.

If you want to know what an accessable zelda game feels like go play Phantom hourglass. It is awesome. (The controls are insanely good)Guybrush_3

I guess you skipped the part where I said "Galaxy was great fun, no doubt". :|

[QUOTE="samusarmada"][QUOTE="LittleHands134"] It'll be a ridiculously easy game that holds your hand throughout the entire thing. Just like every other casual title.AvIdGaMeR444

Zelda is pretty much already dead. The last great Zelda game was 8 years ago - Majora's Mask. That game was fresh, dark, and innovative, and they took a serious chance changing things around, and it worked. However, ever since then, the series has become very stale, boring and formulaic. The hardcore Nintendo fanboys are to blame for this, because they want the same thing over and over, and any change or improvements they riot against. "ZOMG ACTUAL DIALOGUE INSTEAD OF TEXT? BLASPHEMY!" - for example. GinoNYC

IYO. I really loved Zelda Windwaker. Zelda TP is a different story.

I disagree with you about Zelda WW being overated. I don't understand about how the Nintendo fanboys were stubborn about it. Do you mean they disliked it or over praised it? I remember a lot of people complained about Windwaker for being kiddy and not being like the Zelda games on N64. Only thing I will agree with you is how Zelda TP was boring.

I suppose you were in a coma whilst the rest of us were playing Wind Waker, eh?

Because unless you can effectively make the argument that Wind Waker was "stale, boring and formulaic" (doubtful) then you really only have Twilight Princess to attack (on consoles anyway), and that severely limits your "Zelda is pretty much already dead" argument, especially if you are willing to rub your eyes a bit and see that TP, despite not being particularly original, was an excellent game.
