This is a bit of a reach. To a very large many, the two most-recent Legend of Zelda games are the two best that have ever been made. Nintendo has not been afraid to change what the game even when it initially upsets people (Windwaker with the 3D cutesy feel) though the subsequent sentiment is almost always incredibly positive in retrospect. BOTW isn't like Majora's Mask anymore than Majora's Mask was like A Link to the Past.

It is OK for things to change, even if unfortunately your tastes don't change with them.

Idk man, I glanced at /truezelda the other day and it seems like TotK has ruined BOTW for people. I was already disenchanted about 20 hours into BOTW, climbing yet another green hill to see another green hill with the same enemies as the last hill. I did beat the game with 70 or 80 shrines. I dread shrines.

I admittedly played every zelda, despite ragging on them. I am said IP fan.

I just want a 3D Zelda game with interesting biomes, multiple enemy types, fun puzzles, etc...

We got a open world rpg with Zelda skinned on it. It would be nice to get a classic 3D Zelda game and call this one something else.

I have doubts BotW would have gotten great reviews if it was released as an xbox game with different characters.

I don't think a place like /truezelda would capture common sentiment, do you? This is a place where there will be stronger opinions, more engagement, and more nostalgia too.

At any rate, I don't own a Switch, I've only played the games with my nephew. I'm only observing the commentary I see from friends and family around me, and the less Nintendo-dedicated reaction.

Side note: have you played Tunic? You may like that!

Lenna's Inception, too.
