Saving Zelda

[BreakABone]

This will tie into a larger rant as a whole.

But I absolutely HATE Zelda fans.. I'm not talking people who play the game and stuff.

But the people who dissect the timeline and all that craziness.

And this article is part of the reason why. Ask any 10 people how Nintendo should evolve Zelda, and you'll get 15 different answers. Some folks want it to focus more on puzzles, some more on exploration, others on combat.

Some want a wide variety of gadgets.. but don't want them to be one-off

They want limited gadgets, but hate that you have to keep re-using the same ones.

They want an open and vast world to explore... but it can't be too vast.. to the point of tedium to travel.

You need head-scratching puzzles.. but a way for the game to show you the light

You need more engaging combat.. but you need dumb enemies to mow over.

You want a different setting.. but where's Hyrule Castle and Ganong...

They want it to be different.. but not too diff because they want it to be Ocarina of Time or a Link to the Past... but they don't want it to be those games either.

The collective fanbase has no freaking clue what they want from the series... they just know they want change.

(I also loathe Sonic, Smash Bros and Final Fantasy fans for similar reasons)
