Zelda creator Eiji Aonuma thinks linear games are a thing of the past

Haven’t played Zelda OOT in a while but could you. Completed the temples in any order after the forest temple?

Once you get the hook shot and arrows you can do the adult dungeons out of order

my friend and i were talking about the games last time he was in town

he don't fukk with either and truly believes BotW was a reskin of a potential new IP that Nintendo was afraid might fail, so they slapped the zelda name onto it. and here we are.

I've read somewhere that a part of BotW's early design was "what of we had more time with Wind Waker". Can't remember where unfortunately. Perhaps the open world idea was seeded then as it was Aonuma's first real Zelda not hamstrung by preset design choices.

I miss closed circuit racing games mainly.
