Not long ago on the ZD SB...
And then there was inspiration!
The gap between new three dimensional home console Zelda games can sometimes feel long. Normally we'll wait about 5-6 years between the releases. We usually get 1 or 2 new 2D, or handheld games inbetween, but the majority of material is ports or remakes of old Zelda games.
The question I propose, what if we started to get new Zelda games each year in a succession? It seems like it'd be great, but it could end up becoming a bad thing too. Fans could end up getting burnt out on the series. I was never very invested into Assassin's Creed, but it got to where there was a new release each year, and from what I heard fans started to get bored with the series. Any series is at a similar risk when it is putting out new games annually, because it could be hard to make new games that really stand out compared to the previous games, I suppose.
Maybe a new Zelda game annually could be a great thing, but it could also end up being a bad thing, and I almost feel like the outcome could only turn out bad.
Do you think you'd get burnt out with Zelda if this actually happened?
[5:01 PM] Spiritual Mask Salesman: Maybe
[5:00 PM] BlackWolf//WhiteAngel: What a lovely world that would be if we could get a new zelda every year
[4:59 PM] Spiritual Mask Salesman: Ports of Zelda games are going to have to be done because I doubt they are going to fufill that goal of 1 zelda game for switch each year by making a new game ever year.
