The Legend of Zelda is a great series that has been a moneymaker for Nintendo since the 80s. This series has a lot of games in which the hero Link goes around exploring dungeons and saving Hyrule. Now I loved the series since I played Ocarina of Time on the N64 and I loved the Twilight Princess so when I heard the rumor that there could another one in production I was excited about what It could be about. However, there are some things on the internet that I want to address.
1. A lead Character who is not Link
That is like watching a spiderman movie about Superman
2. A game in the future
Why don't you throw some futuristic armor on him give him a gun and call him chief
3. A game without ties to Hyrule
Well, They already tried that I don't know how well it worked because I have never beaten them
The Legend of Zelda is an Excellent game series that has been around longer then I have and you don't always have to change the Formula in order to continue to have fun with the series. Changes is good when it is necessary but Reckless change will just do more harm then good.
