With a lot of people excited for the prospect of the (unconfirmed) use of WiiMotionPlus in the confirmed-but-technically-unannounced upcoming Zelda Wii title, tongues are wagging about the changes that could be made to the Zelda formula. Aside from one – which belongs to Shigeru Miyamoto. In the most recent issue of Nintendo Power, he stated “I don’t think it’s going to be that radically different”.

So there we go. It’ll be Zelda as we know it, with a few tweaks. Much like every other Zelda title since Ocarina of Time. Well, can’t complain with that!

I agree, we can’t complain– yet. If it’s too easy, I do intend to… But that’s in the future.

For now, I’ll settle with a slight sigh and hope for the best. Well see next year, ne?

Must of missed that in the new issue.

But is it just me, or does “more of the same,” standing alone, usually refer to something negative?

It is usually, but if “the same” means OoT it’s a compliment.

So long as this is a challenging game in the way TP was not, we’ll be content.

I would rather have a digital remake of OoT than Spirit Tracks, in all honesty.

Well c’mon, it’s just like how it is for Koji Kondo. If you try to keep a good formula, you get yelled at for being unoriginal, and if you try something new you get yelled at for being too extreme. They have to find a middle ground, and even then they get yelled at for making games with such a rhythmically predictable combination of new and old. But what else can you do when the fandom is made of douche? (Sorry, that’s kind of harsh but the only way I can think to word it.)

Geez, Zelda fans, cut these poor Japanese guys some slack. Yeesh.

The structure of Majora’s Mask isn’t much different than the OoT’s one, but Majora, even if it have the same control system of the prequel, is an awesome game radically different from the other zelda games.
For example, Link’s Awakening too.

Is a bit early to say that this Zelda is a “More of the same”, I think that this should be more original than Spirit Track.

If that Master Sword girl has anything to say about it, it will be.
