A Link Between Worlds - I could put BotW in here, though I feel like it mostly continued what ALBW started. Here was a beginning of an effort to mess with the established format of Zelda, by taking a lot of the items out of dungeons and offering more of a personalized path through the adventure...

It would be nice to see some escalation in the difficulty beyond just higher health and attack numbers. I actually have a bit of a gut feeling regenerating health could work out fine in some cases since it encourages a more aggressive approach, just that it's a tricky thing to balance vs the...

It's a good trailer and the editing rhythm and images give me chills, made the game look cooler than it already did. On the other hand it's a cinematic "hype" trailer which makes me distrustful on principle. Love that sax part though, totally caught me by surprise.

Huh, I assumed it was either gonna be the Metroid Prime remaster one since "reputable" leakers seem to insist on that one or the TotK OLED model one. I guess neither of those is truly confirmed then, but then again I don't follow that close. Guess I'm late for that part though. On the topic of...

A bit more integration between the movement/climbing and the enemy encounters. The closest thing to it in BotW as it was the were Taluses, but I can't shake off a vague feeling of jankiness about them. Something approaching Shadow of the Colossus would be nice, though the climbing mechanics here...

I mean, the premise will seemingly involve fixing the Master Sword, which already assumes Link has it even though it's optional in Breath of the Wild. Would be weird if not highly unlikely for stats to carry over given that. One oddly neat wrinkle in this setup IMO would be for the Link we'll...

I'd wanted to see how overworld bosses panned out since before Breath of the Wild did it. Hoping next time they do it there's a bit more variety, though that by itself was a shakeup I appreciated nonetheless. In fact, some more breaking with typical dungeon -> item -> boss structure in general...

Mostly avoiding complacency and stagnation. Just as Breath of the Wild was a kick in the pants for the series to drop its "formula" and do something interesting again, my hope would be for any game following it to explore new feelings to evoke and experiences to provide. Being adventurous, as...

A DS game from like 2009 called Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure. It's a platformer where you fight enemies in a Mega Man Zero style -you can shoot in front of you and have a sword, or rather cane- on the top screen, and enemies you beat get thrown down to the bottom screen where they...

If what you mean is that there will be a spike in new Skyward Sword opinions, I would expect that too to some degree. Especially since from what I've heard, almost everything Nintendo publishes on switch seems to sell at least decently due to new customers looking for stuff to play, so more...

At least 3 times, probably 4 or even 5. At least one of those was left unfinished though still far along and the other one is a master mode run I only picked back up a few weeks ago. I have one profile for my original file if I ever feel like going for 100% (hah, yeah right) and the other one I...

Skyward Sword has vaulting over moblin shields and I'm still hoping they make a full mechanic out of that. Oh, and Twilight Princess had that one quest before the city in the sky where you look for seals under statues or something like that, I don't remember. I find late game fetch quests...

I've been jumping back in lately to try and actually finish a master mode run. Two things that come back to mind from the last time I sat with the game: I decided I'd try to climb that one tower that's surrounded by sparky wizzrobes and lizalfos. Got killed several times and used up most of the...

I was surprised to see Dragon Quest XI has a plot summary at the ready for every time you start up the game to remind you what was happening last time you played. Sometimes I drop games for long periods of time and feel lost when I eventually jump back into them, so this works from the practical...

Physical is in a weird spot. It feels gimped since due to day one patches there's not even a guarantee the game will ship complete on disc, at least for a while. There's also how physical console games still get copied to and read from internal storage anyways, disc being effectively more of a...
