Awakened_Link 10/26/19 4:46:00 AM #12:	The mythology that's already been established is interesting in and of itself; that's what makes us want the lore to go deeper. There's a lot of potential to continue a really great story. That said, the "fallen" timeline is utter bullshit. There should be a million different timelines by that logic. --- Add me on Switch!

Ic3Bullet 10/26/19 4:48:10 AM #13:	ssjevot posted... Just bring back dungeons and items. Yulp. I feel like you could even still sorta make it open world with this formula. I guess what I'd call a "layered" open world. Have a large percentage of the world (50% or more) open from the start, possibly including all, or at least most of the dungeons. Then as you complete a dungeon and find an item, you have access to areas and secrets that were just out of reach before. After you complete all dungeons and have all items, the entire world and all secrets are accessible. Doesn't seem like it'd be that hard of a system to implement. <cite>Ic3Bullet posted [p:929255480] in "Shou...

It was already there. Agree. I'm one of the dudes who beat it without a guide. The way the world opens up to you is pretty damn perfect. Over 98% of the world is technically open to you from the very start. Although there are large portions that you won't likely have access to on your first playthrough without outside help. The portions that I'm referring to are the areas that you likely won't be skilled enough to traverse in the beginning, or areas that you are supposed to acquire late-game info in order to access. Less than 2% of the map is actually intraversable until later. That's what how the formula should be for all Zelda games. <cite>Ic3Bullet posted [p:929255569] in "Shou...

SwayM 10/26/19 8:39:21 AM #17:	Zelda doesnt need any more plot than it currently has The very existence of the Zelda timeline has proven that is a lie.
