GAMEOLOGY - Zelda: BOTW and Series Evolution

Zelda is out in a few days so Attila and I couldn’t help discussing the evolution of Zelda and our predictions for how BOTW will impact the franchise.

From the fast-paced bullet hell of 2D entries to the slower paced puzzle solving of Ocarina and beyond, we talk about our favorite elements of this legendary franchise and what we hope to see in the latest installment.

BOTW Description

STEP INTO A WORLD OF ADVENTURE!

Forget everything you know about The Legend of Zelda games. Step into a world of discovery, exploration and adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a boundary-breaking new game in the acclaimed series. Travel across fields, through forests and to mountain peaks as you discover what has become of the ruined kingdom of Hyrule in this stunning open-air adventure.

Mathew is a huge fan of Space, Strategy, and Shadowrun (Genesis version is #1). When it comes to games and films, he’d much rather experience a 10/10 classic from yesteryear than a 6/10 modern blandfest. He does feel we’re living in a gaming golden age with the power of indie developers at an all-time high, but wishes AAA publishers would take more risks. Mat believes it’s only a matter of time before the pendulum swings the other way and new ideas take their rightful place above reboots.
