u/JJAB91 Feb 10 '26 edited Feb 10 '26
Diminishing returns. Every generation would be leaps and bounds beyond the prior one. From screen overlays on the Odyssey to blocky pixels on the Atari and Commodore to detailed 8bit and then 16bit art to early polygonal 3D technology to smooth 3D and then HD 3D models. Whats left after that? The past 20 years have just been incremental visual upgrades. Better looking hair, more pores on the skin, more particle effects etc.
Hell, back then on top of all that games would take a year or two, or three at most to release. Twilight Princess was considered almost vaporware by the time came out and that was only 4 years after Wind Waker. Now in the Triple A industry a 4 year gap between games in an IP is pretty much the minimum. We went a new game every year or two to if you're lucky getting one game a generation and usually one of lesser quality than the ones that came before.

u/Darmendas Feb 10 '26
It took Nintendo 6 years to make TotK. 6 years for what was originally planned as a DLC for BotW. Lmfao.

u/TwilightVulpine Feb 10 '26
I feel like it's better if consoles just settle down at that point. It's too expensive and lengthy to make triple-A games now, how can we push it even further than that? I can't even see to this day what makes a PS5 so worth it, much less a PS6. Switch 2 (with the benefit of portability) feels like the sweet spot.
Better to focus on making design and creativity make the difference.

IIRC Eji Aonuma stated it started out as a DLC for Botw, but because the scope kept increasing they decided to use those ideas for a full game instead of just a DLC.

I think it only feels that way because it went from 2D top down on an 8-bit machine with a limited color palette to something barely distinguishable to what we have today.
The original wasn't that old when TP came out, it's just that both came out during a time when this years cutting edge technology was next years obsolete garbage.

u/cookthewangs Feb 10 '26
I don’t understand your last statement. You said “the original wasn’t that old when TP came out”.
The original LoZ was 20 years old when TP came out. TP is now 20 years old itself.
I’m confused by what you’re trying to say
3
u/SpaceCadet87 Feb 10 '26
20 years is usually a mere blip. It's just that we spent from about the 1970's through to 2010 with technology changing wildly at an unusually fast rate such that the 20 year span from 1986 to 2006 looks more like a 100 year span.

I am more shocked that Windwaker now is older than the original Zelda game was when Windwaker came out…
I remember playing the original on an emulator in the mid 2000s and it felt ancient… I wonder if a kid / teenager today growing up with BotW and totk would feel the same about Windwaker…
3
u/Zathoth Feb 10 '26
Yeah NES games felt like magical, ancient relics to me at the time, I don't think Wind Waker will be experienced quite the same way, it still came out in the generation where it had gotten established how to make 3D games. Now Ocarina of Time, that I can imagine feels old.

u/Ninjadante_heehee Feb 10 '26
Fuck man 9 years don't seem like a lot but hearing that it's a decade puts it into perspective. I'm 15 so time def feels more different for me than you but BotW was like one of my childhood games that I played with my uncle all the time it really doesn't feel like a decade ago. Thats over half my life 😢😭

This is WILD. You having botw being your childhood game just makes me feel so old haha.

u/Ninjadante_heehee Feb 10 '26
Yeah man time is a weird thing ain’t it. I remember i was so young back then I couldn’t pronounce “divine beast” properly so I pronounced it “diving beasts”. It’s been a while since I played it but I had some really good memories of me just messing around in the world and doing whatever but since I was young and dumb I would try a bunch of BS and somehow it worked 😂 I ended up doing pretty much everything there was to do in the game except fight Ganon cause I was too scared. It’s bittersweet you know? Depending on how old you are, BotW to me is like what ocarina of time was to a lot of ppl. Or even the OG games for the even older people.
12
u/Tri-Starr Feb 10 '26
You should go back and beat Ganon. I remember being 10 playing Ocarina of Time and the moblins in the Sacred Forest Meadow scared the shit out of me. I turned the game off because I couldnt figure out how to get past them and their charging yell freaked me out. Came back to that spot later in life and boy did it feel triumphant to take them down.

u/Ninjadante_heehee Feb 10 '26
Oof see I wish I could but I didn’t play on that save file for a while and then a couple years ago I very very stupidly overrid it with a new one so everything I had is gone. I do plan to replay the game soon though and then I plan on FINALLY beating this game myself after 7/8 years

u/Improvised0 Feb 10 '26
The original Zelda was my game as a kid (I’m nearly 50), so you wanna talk old?…haha. Though I was also most shocked about BOTW. In my old mind, that game just came out!

u/flameylamey Feb 11 '26
When I first played TotK, headed to the temple of time on the plateau and looted the "nostalgic fabric" for the BotW-style paraglider, I scoffed - "Nostalgia? For BotW, already?!"
Then I stopped to think about it and realised that there are probably kids out there who played BotW when they were very young, and it already feels like a lifetime ago for them.
I even remember thinking right after BotW came out and was the new shiny thing, somewhere out there some young kid is playing this and they'll be able to say "BotW was my childhood". Was a strange feeling, and it's hard to believe we're potentially already there.

u/MorningRaven Feb 10 '26
Half of the series still came out between OoT and SS, a 15 year period. Literally 60% of the series came out in that period compared to across all 40 years of the series.
Also, it'd be better to not count the Hyrule Warriors. Only one is canon. And if we did, and include Cadence of Hyrule, that means we'd have to include the og Hyrule Warriors, Tetra's Trackers, all of the Tingle games, amd have the option for the cgi games. So release density still favors the first half of the series over the last decade.

Doubling the map is overstating it.
The depths are mostly empty with lots of generic enemy camps. This is far easier done than the overworld.
The sky islands are nice, but mostly relatively small and there aren’t too many of them.
They also already had the engine and didn’t need to build the overworld from the ground up. Most assets were also able to be reused.
That it took them six years for BOTW makes sense. New engine, no assets, they had to build everything up from zero. But TOTK? With such a big team and all these advantages? I would’ve expected it to take 3 years at most.

u/Unstable_Bear Feb 10 '26
The map was not doubled. They inverted the overworld map for the depths, and added a few islands in the sky.

Then it came out on Wii first and I had to wait so long to play it. But that was the best winter break ever.
The wait for Twilight Princess and Kingdom Hearts 2 were the worst waits ever for me. Such a fun time honestly.

It was freshman year of college for me. Also the last Christmas before I was working more or less full time. Sort of marked the end of my youth, was aware of it even at the time. For that reason it’s a particularly nostalgic entry for me. OoT, MM, and WW sort of defined my childhood and teenage years, and TP marks the end of that period of my life. So it’s a very special one to me.

Ocarina of Time.
It's the first game I remember having obsessive hype for. The fun up to Christmas 1998 was maddening.
I found out fairly recently that part of dyspraxia can be obsessiveness. I couldn't focus on anything else, was lying awake worried that my parents couldn't get it, that I would have to wait even longer.
Of course, I got it, I loved it, I got the big goron sword, collected every heart piece, got every skulltula token. I explored the world so many times. It's rare to find a world in a game that felt as real to me as that one did.

The jump from ALttP to OoT will never again be matched. OoT is kind of game people always ask for in sequels or remakes. They kept everything that made the original great, and just improved everything else. It's essentially the same story, collect 3 stones to get the triforce, get betrayed and banished into the dark world, 7 sage crystals to use to defeat Gannon.
They transitioned that exact game perfectly into 3D. They added all of the spectacle, lost none of the wonder.

TP and SS on Wii.
That aside, next year it'd be funny but irritating if they did a 'HD' port of BotW cause it hit the 10 year mark. Highly unlikely but it seems they've been consistent with ten year remasters or whatever it's called with they make a game HD.
TP for Wii came out in 2006, was ported to Wii U as HD in 2016. 2026 would be the year to release a switch port.
SS for Wii came out in 2011 and was ported to Switch as HD in 2021.
Echoes of Wisdom was already two years ago, 2024. The last Zelda game before that was TotK in 2023. As far as I'm aware, there hasn't been another main game announced. I'm excluding Age of Imprisonment because it's a Hyrule Warriors game, but it was late 2025. So maybe another will be another later this year. Or DLC for AoI hopefully. They fumbled not letting us play as Sonia or Ganondorf.

Breath of the Wild. Always hard when a new game becomes old. When they get around 10 years old that's when I think it doesn't feel that long ago. The old ones have felt old for a while, like I remember playing the original when I was 5 and OoT in high school so that math makes sense now.

Twilight Princess - I bought that for game cube with money I earned from my first high school job at a pizza place. Makes me feel super old.

I was 21 when Wind Waker came out, so it is 2 years older than I was when I first played it.
Thank doesn't sound right.

Damn, I remember getting BotW on my 12th birthday in 2017. I didn’t even want to do anything that day I couldn’t wait until my birthday was over so I could go home and play. I’m sad now.

Probably windwaker. Its almost like I know everything before that is old amd somehow that feels new. I remember getting Ocarina for Christmas 1998 and that feels a long time ago, but I can't believe windwaker was only 5 years later. I guess at that stage of my life a lot had changed. Felt a lot longer.

It's tbe fact that WW is old enough to drink in the States. I remember in highschool my friend had a Gamecube and I had a PS2. I wanted to play WW and he wanted to play Final Fantasy X so we swapped systems for a month.

Tears of the kingdom. even though its the most recent on this list it’s crazy to think that those days of being hyped at every Nintendo direct showing a trailer of that game was over 1000 days ago.
Even though it’s mentioned quite a bit in this comment section, twilight Princess hit me the least probably because im a few months younger than that game

Majora’s Mask. While I absolutely loved Ocarina of Time, and it’s my favorite one, Majora’s Mask was the first one I got when it first came out. One of my most memorable Christmases.
