Now that we’ve all seen the E3 Zelda footage, what do you think? If you were a hater, are you now a lover? Do you still love the new look as you did before? It definitely seems to me that the new look has worked. To me the Zelda series is all about the atmosphere and mystery of the Legend. Ever since the first Zelda game out there has been no other game like it and now in today’s day and age of ‘same old, same old’ the Zelda series still stands out as a cut above the rest, be it in gameplay AND visuals. As the trailer says, “Every game has a story. Only one is a legend.”
But there are flaws too. To many fans the magic of Zelda has been the Legend itself – how the lives and world of the people of Hyrule (or any other land) change and develop as the games go on. With Majora’s Mask and the recent Ages duo on the GBC the plot has gone a bit twisted…something that upset the purists out there. But to them, do they feel the original Zelda was better than, say, Majora’s Mask, just because it stayed true to the Legend?
In my opinion the new Zelda has hit the perfect balance. The new instalment remains a next-generation title that contains fantastic gameplay, but the new graphical style has also imbued a sense of mystery and character to the game that seemed the be lost in the past two or three Zelda games. It seems that Nintendo have come up trumps again. Quite a few people have been left with egg on their faces and many are still happy. Keep up the good work.
