Wait, so you’re mad that LBW made you use a specific item per dungeon, but recommend TP and SS, games that not only had that, but held your hand along your general progression as well?

I think you’re implying that refocusing the series on the spirit of the original is “wrong” though.

They didn’t - I mean they specifically are saying as such.

Yeah, I’m kinda surprised that people are decrying this as ‘not real Zelda’ when to me, this looks like replicating the spirit of the original, unfettered, into modern mechanics.

Well, you’re not being force fed if you don’t buy it.

You might be waiting a while for one (or both) of these things to happen.

Remember when Gamers lost their minds over the idea of a FFVII remake because all that matters is graphics? That you could fundamentally abandon the structure (full game to episodes) and mechanics (turn based to real time combat) of a ‘classic’ and they would still scream that this is the best thing of all time, ever?
