Maybe it will get rid of weapon durability and add more dungeons. At that point, it might even be worth playing.

Wind Waker was tedious and didn't have enough dungeons, but I loved Twilight Princess. It's third on my list behind OOT and LttP.

That game was only ever a cult classic and to this day you have people still confusing it as being made by Square Enix which shows you how much people actually care about it.

I enjoyed Twilight Princess when I played it, but I could never bring myself to replay it again. I always got bored before I got halfway through so I guess I shouldn't say I didn't like it, but I just didn't like it enough to replay it.

I'm not a big fan of TP myself. It's a decent game, but it's the only Zelda where the world felt really lifeless to me. Something about the improvement in visuals combined with how dated cutscenes and character interactions felt.

My fear is they'll reuse the same overworld. Exploring was the only real draw of BotW, so unless the overworld is changed massively or completely new it won't be interesting. I didn't care for the combat at all and the shrines/dungeons were weaker than the typical Zelda. Hopefully they'll change enough stuff up but I'm doubtful.

Yeah, clearly.

I'm particularly excited to see the return of Ganondorf. It's been a while since we've seen his human form and I'm curious as to exactly what role he'll play (aside from the main villain, obviously).

Because Zelda got an amazing haircut and Nintendo knew the world needed to see it in these trying times.

Also because a lot of people had a lot of fun playing the first one and would welcome another similar experience.

It sold because it was a Zelda game. I wouldn't be complaining if they made another Zelda.

Because it is by far the best selling title in franchise history (at least by initial release, I'm sure that the original LoZ has it beat if you count Wii and Wii U Virtual Console sales). Of course they're going to make a sequel to that and they're definitely going forward with their plans to follow the BotW mold for future installments of the 3D series.

And managed to sell it successfully on two different systems. I am sure I am not the only one that bought if first on the Wii U and after getting a Switch bought it again.

In a surprising turn of events, BotW is actually the worst Zelda game ever made.

I know, I was shocked too, but facts are facts.

As someone who played the original LoZ on the NES, BOTW felt like a massive return to form. Games like Ocarina are fun, but they're pretty linear instanced dungeon experiences where you know you're going to get a new tool, use it a couple of times, beat the boss with it somehow, and then move on and forget about it.

In contrast, that sense of total freedom once BOTW's version of "it's dangerous out there, take this" tutorial area was just the best. Scanning the horizon for something cool looking, and then adventuring there to find it made every session its own story. Yes, the dungeons were a bit underwhelming, but otherwise it was the most "Zelda" game since the first.
