        Yes. BotW and TotK departed very dramatically from what consumers would expect from Zelda. TotK was a bit closer but still was not the same. I suppose another way to say it is “true Zelda” or “pure Zelda,” but it is all the same meaning.

        BotW, and to a lesser degree TotK, is to Zelda what Star Fox Adventures is to Star Fox. Not necessarily a bad game, but when someone talks about Star Fox, or “real Star Fox” they are not referring to Star Fox Adventures because it deviated so drastically from the expected gameplay of a Star Fox game.

      I’ll start the comment war.
      Breath of the Wild is far closer to being a true Zelda game than Ocarina of Time.
      (Minus the dungeons)

        I don’t think anyone who has actually played the Famicom original can realistically dispute that BotW is a far better implementation of the fundamental concepts of Zelda than all the games that came after it up until BotW entered the chat. I like LttP and OoT as much as the next guy, but let’s not kid ourselves, BotW is the only successor to OG Zelda.

          Exactly. They even demoed the BotW concepts in a Zelda 1 like environment. I don’t know how closer to being back to roots you could go.

        There will be no war, you can have your own opinion, and I can think your opinion is wrong. Nothing wrong with that, no need for a war.

    I really liked immortals Fenix rising. It is Ubisoft but very BotW inspired. I was bummed when the sequel was canceled.
