Recognize the scene?
Say what you will about Nintendo, but they know how to lovingly repackage nostalgia.
While some will say it’s pandering, you could see the passion emanate from Iwata’s eyes whenever he was talking about a revival of an old property, and in some way, I can see that same affection with this new promotional piece of art forBreath of the Wild.
For most of you out there, it’s just Link sitting on a mountainside looking at…another mountain. But for the older generations, it brings back the memory of opening up the manual for the originalZeldafor the first time on the NES and checking out that glorious art. See the comparison for yourself in the gallery below.
Man, so far everything aboutBreath of the Wildseems like a step up from the linearSkyward Sword. As long as it doesn’t have a five hour tutorial and forced waggle, I’m sure it’ll get off to a better start, at least.
