LttP is a great-looking game which has withstood the test of time. BotW hasn't even faced the next game to come out yet, let alone the test of decades. BotW is the game of the minute, OoT is the game of the hour, but LttP is the game of ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME!

You're not even making a logical case here, other than showing you're biased. BotW has the acclaim to match both already, it's selling the Switch and can potentially become the best selling Zelda of all time.


Except I'm making a supremely logical argument but your bias has blinded you. Getting awards TODAY does not mean standing the test of time. BotW could be completely outshone by the very next game. By contrast, LttP has lasted all of this time and, as time went on, we saw how greatly LttP inspired the rest of the franchise. The concept of a master sword, which it introduced, is even in BotW.

Also, given that the world's population is increasing, it would be a bad sign if it *didn't* sell more although, with all of LttP's ports, it's possible that LttP still have more copies sold in the long run.

No one looks at a LttP for inspiration anymore and OoT has ran its course as well. Now again, before you start ranting, I believe both to be some of the greatest games of all time, yes, but as with everything, time is starting to take its toll.


And yet BotW is still using staples introduced by LttP. Not to mention we just had LBW a few years ago.

If we're looking at current games being made that other devs are tying to match or best, that would be Rockstar games. I currently believe though with what Nintendo has made here with BotW, they can seriously turn heads, have a true game that both inspires, and raises the competition in the industry yet again.


lol...? Among other hilarity, Rockstar's zenith was years ago and it's hardly the force it once was. People are ditching their core games in favor of stuff like Saints Row which come closer to capturing the fun of the GTA series.

Granted, that's assuming you meant Rockstar. You could have meant Rocksteady, which has innovated more recently.

He says, ignoring the fact that Link Between Worlds isn't even five years old yet and was clearly and obviously inspired from everything ALttP (not to mention it being the third-to-latest new Zelda out, as the order is BotW, Triforce Heroes, and LBW). Also, you're ignoring the fact that the majority of remixes for the soundtrack used in each proceeding Zelda game are inspired directly from the title A Link to the Past (even Breath of the Wild is guilty of this at times as Ganon's Theme from ALttP plays during the scene atop the first tower, the Hyrule Castle theme from ALttP, among other old remixed tracks, in Hyrule Castle in BotW).


Yes, and even Triforce Heroes comes to us from Four Sword Adventures which originates from the GBA port of LttP.
