I know that this interview was posted a few days ago, but man... what a gut punch...

Aonuma has no understanding of why people might not like the open world direction the series has taken and no understanding of what made traditional Zelda games so enjoyable.

Zelda is truly dead :(

I don't think it's a lack of understanding but more of a lack of Nintendo not caring. Had the open world Zelda's sold the same as the traditional ones, they would possibly go back to that formula but because of how well BOTW and TOTK sold, we are unfortunately stuck with these types of Zelda games for the near future.

What annoys me even more is that they've also ditched the 2D games. This is one of the reasons why I prefer Nintendo having seperate systems. You'd have 3D games on a console and smaller (still amazing) Zelda games on a handheld. For those who like traditional Zelda games we've been left with sod all.

I'm getting some real Pokémon style "If you don't want EXP Share, just have 1 Pokémon in your team" vibes from that. Completely dismissive of why people might enjoy a linear approach.

Mandated structure is not an inherently bad thing.

I tend to prefer more linear games anyway. I find it works better for a tighter narrative.

Finally almost done mapping the underground, helping me find the remaining Shrines. So will finally soon be able to finish the game! 

Or finish it... At least defeat the final boss. Have tried to find out which side adventures to focus on but there is just so much to do...

Figma figures are coming for TotK Link, Ganondorf and Zelda! Look lovely (well, Zelda pending):

Finally found all shrines and I at long last went on to find Ganondorf yesterday. 

Spoiler

But I had to reload an earlier save because he only deals gloom damage, and I had zero sunny meals. Come on... That wasnt fair. 

I got him to second form but I find it very hard to avoid (and flurry rush) his attacks. 

Will try again tonight. Now with better preparation.

I somehow made it to the final battle completely unprepared but I had absolutely no desire to leave and have to make my way there again so I persevered until I eventually won the battle 😅

If anything, it made the fight with Ganondorf a fun challenge rather than relying on countless specialised meals to keep me alive!

Having ignored the depths throughout the game unless absolutely necessary, I had no resistance to gloom.. but the entire game was pretty much pure gloom for me, sadly.

I commend you on finding all the shrines, @MindFreak 🙂 I did the bare minimum and was glad when it was over!
