So, I guess all of us are pretty hyped by the reveal of the new Zelda Wii U trailer. It does look pretty awesome when you look at it first. Decent graphics (for the Wii U), something that seems like a vast, open world (always wanted that in Zelda) and loads of action. I think I may have watched the trailer 10 times already now. It really makes you forget that Hyrule Warriors is also coming.
But something is really bothering me. The path that the series is going down is really disturbing to me. Zelda, to me at least, is famous for it's medieval setting. My first real experience with Zelda was OoT when I was about 7-8 years old. I loved the medieval 'knights, swords & horses' setting and the character development. From a tiny boy with a tiny sword and a wooden shield you grow up to be a badass knight with the strongest sword ever known to man and huge heavy shields. You visit castles, ranches, tiny villages with windmills and classic temples.
So, what is my point? I kinda hate the 'modern' influences in the new Zelda's. This started with TP and continued with SS. Now the new Zelda seems to follow in these footsteps. A foldable arrow made of blue electric light? Seriously? What is wrong with normal arrows or even the oldschool fire arrows? It might be just me living in the past, but what do you guys think? Is Nintendo taking it to far with these 'futuristic' influences in the game or do you like it?
