I don't think it's an unpopular opinion, everyone always says that new Zelda games are shit when they're released and that the previous ones are so much betterFigure I might as well post it here too, but I think the new Zelda game looks like shit.
I've never thought that, but I do see it. It just looks like it's trying to be an open world game using the name for marketing. I don't mind the exploration, I enjoyed it in Skyward Sword. But I feel like the new one is scrapping what makes the series great just to get sales and try to stay "relevant". It just looks like any other open world game but with Zelda enemies and items.I don't think it's an unpopular opinion, everyone always says that new Zelda games are shit when they're released and that the previous ones are so much better
Overwatch is overrated.
I share many of your reservations about the jump to a fully-open world, however we haven't seen nearly enough to know how its implementation really affects the game as a whole, and Aonuma has earned the benefit of the doubt in my book as all of his Zelda games have been home-runs as far as I'm concerned.I've never thought that, but I do see it.

I prefer what I like to call "limited open world" where there's an open world (or somewhat open) environment but you also need to progress in the story to advance. I think that good story and characters are what make great games. Following market trends for sales won't make your game nearly as memorable imo.
I haven't played or finished any Zelda game ever but I'd like to start with one, which one would you say is the best then?Ocarina of Time is not the best Zelda title
If you like secondary quests, I would recommend Wind Waker.I haven't played or finished any Zelda game ever but I'd like to start with one, which one would you say is the best then?
You can start with every game. I suggest you to not start with 'Zelda 1' nor 'Zelda 2' (NES).I haven't played or finished any Zelda game ever but I'd like to start with one, which one would you say is the best then?

You can start with 'A Link to the Past' (SNES), 'Oracle of Ages/Seasons' (play them together) or 'Link's Awakening DX' (GBC, my favorites). If you are not a noob with rpg/puzzle games/dungeon exploring you can start with 'Twilight Princess' or 'Wind Waker' (Wii U has HD remakes).
Every Zelda game is different. Play 'Majora's Mask' after 'Ocarina of Time'. Also, you can skip 'Phantom Hourglass' and 'Spirit Tracks' (DS).
I suggest also to play "Skyward Sword" not for first because it say many things you'll learn in other titles
mario 64 for the ds having shit controls?
this is called "unpopular opinions" not "facts that are rarely said"
anyway. heres a very unpopular opinion:
any game with turns sucks! (specially RPG) they are a outdated concept.
in the early days the consoles didn't have the capabilities that today's consoles got..
so if you wanted a game about fighting monsters they had to do it calculator style...
thus rpg was born, there is your character on the left, and the enemy on the right, because limitations in giving real action they come up with stats, turns and "pretending fight" so you could have an advanced game
today you can actually have a fully animated dragon with realistic AI.. if i wanted to play an rpg, i could get a piece of paper and a calculator and pretend to kill monsters just like the old days
So if I marry someone gaming is illegal... Im a nerd 2 (maybe)Video games are for nerds and virgins
Bowser, Mario and Peach have an eternal bond...Mario
Is
Annoying
All he does
Is rescue peach
From someone who *steals* her
Why
No clue
Even though bowser is killed he somehow lives every damn time Mario kills him.
I prefer things where the open world or exploration parts are limited by story progression. That's one of the things I like about 3D Zelda games, the Xenoblade games, and one of the things I love about Fable games (even if they're generally not great). Honestly I think that hype plays a big part in how well games are received. We're at a point where even if a game doesn't deserve all the hype or deliver it's still considered "amazing" because nobody wants to admit this mainstream hyped game is overrated or underwhelming. I genuinely consider The Evil Within to be significantly better than The Last of Us (not a very relevant comparison, but still. My PS4 ran The Evil Within flawlessly so I have no comment on the performance issues).Calling turn-based outdated is an uninformed opinion, because action games are just as old as TB games and there are a million different play styles for games, but in this case I'm talking about RPGs specifically. I can understand disliking TB or in the case of FF4-9, CT etc pseudo TB, but the various TB systems are simply different styles of play and are no more "outdated" than action RPGs. Calling TB outdated is an objectively incorrect statement.
Also, "open world" games are generally overrated. In many cases you'll get games that are massive, but highly unpolished and based more on quantity than quality. Some level of linearity isn't necessarily a bad thing and there's a balance between linear and open design. Both extremes usually suck.
