The LttP formula is
1. Go to a new dungeon 2. Get a new item in the dungeon 3. Use that new item to do some stuff and beat a boss then move on to the next dungeon. It's very linear. Breath of the Wild gives you all the main tools up front and just sets you off to do whatever in any order you want to do it in. --- For your BK_Sheikah00.

A Link Between Worlds got rid the "ALttP Formula" before BOTW, ironically (as it is the sequel to ALTTP)

It's kind of ironic to describe the LttP formula as linear, considering that LttP has two different orders you can do the dungeons with no backtracking. It's certainly true for everything from OoT on, but that's mostly because of story concerns, rather than gameplay ones.
For the record, as a big BotW fan, the last of Oot/Lttp-style dungeons is the game's major weakpoint. The Divine Beasts sort of, uh, really suck. --- I can't believe I lost the Best Year In Gaming guru contest to some guy named BKSheikah ... Copied to Clipboard!

So it looks like Link/Ganon

Yuri_LowelI posted... Team Rocket Elite posted...UltimaterializerX posted...So why isn't Mario SFFing Samus this time around despite Odyssey behind him? Samus has had literally zero reason to boost. Id say its waifu boost, not female boost. Maybe Im mistaken but it seems to be limited to Japanese females. I dont think western females like Jill Valentine and Quiet and The Boss benefit from it. Whereas waifus from random visual novels and crap seem to do pretty decent. And a waifu like 2B can become legit very fast. I think female characters can now achieve Midgard strength faster than male ones. Geralt was respectable, but his game was huge. Imagine if 2Bs game was as big as Witcher 3. I think those sexist nerds you speak of are the same people voting now, they just find Japanese female video game characters sexually appealing/crushable. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also I dont think Samus has benefitted from waifu factor.
She seems the same as always - as Ive said before, she along with Link is our most consistent character. Shes doing better with SFF against Mario but I think SFF is very wonky by its very nature. And why would waifu factor not affect her strength, but boost her versus Mario? Though its possible that she does benefit from waifu factor, and would have declined without it. But I dont think thats true. Samus has always been pretty stable. For what reason shes so much more stable than all the other non-Link Noble Niners, I really dont know. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah that's probably a factor, I think people get more receptive to female characters as they mature, just like we get more interested in sophisticated stuff like character development. It's less about wanting to see badass things and more about wanting to see different types of storytelling, and female characters deliver on that when you are someone who is used to male protagonists all the time. That and popculture as a whole just got more used to female characters in lead roles, and we are reflecting that trend in our preferences. ... Copied to Clipboard!

For example, I'm playing Tales of Berseria right now and the least interesting character in the party is the badass samurai (Rokurou) who loves swords. Because I've seen that character a dozen times before (though he is lovable so I like him). The most interesting character is the kid (Laphicet), because he's a rare example of a well written kid in a game, and the rest of the characters are mostly women, and are all great. I's just fun to see them interacting. I just wanna see different things at this point. I'd love a Zelda game starring Zelda, for example. ... Copied to Clipboard!

MoogleKupo141 posted...The LttP formula is NES Zelda barely used the items to beat bosses, you killed everything with the sword and most items were optional. Dungeons were more like arenas to fight than big puzzles like how they became later. Later Zeldas are more gimmicky, they are about using items to solve different types of puzzles. Also the overworld is linear in modern Zeldas. Look at a game like TP where they release the map areas little by little and tell you where to go. Now compared to the NES Zelda that gives you the whole map and tells you nothing. That was a open world game before the Skyrims and Withers of our time. BotW is a return to that form. ...

I think teenagers are more likely to reject women characters than adults, maybe. Teenagers are dumber and worried about what their peers will think of their masculinity. While adults are bored and want to try new things.

I think people are overrating this female factor a bit. Samus and Tifa have had impressive performances in SFF matches, sure, but overall they don't look any stronger than in years past. "Edgy" characters have dropped off, so it's creating an optical illusion of rising strength amongst the FF women, for example.
Zelda has gotten a legit boost, but she was worth 45% on Snake back in 2005, and I think that having a more prominent role in a super acclaimed Zelda game should be enough to overcome that*, without needing anything else factored in. *Assuming that Snake is back at those levels. --- Yesmar ...
