If Zelda changes the formula, people are going to cry with hypocrisy.
Look at Twilight Princess. How much of a change was that? Not much, yet people treat it like it's Metroid Other M.
Then there's games like Zelda II or Link's Crossbow Training that are completely different, with some pretty large hatedom going on.
I would like change, but that's an unrealistic expectation. The best you can hope for is maybe, MAYBE an eShop title with more experimentation, that lasts less then 10 hours.
This is a signature.
Link goes here now.
Screw you.
