6/2/2023 0 Comments Sequel two worlds 3![]() In many ways, A Link Between Worlds opened up more possibilities for the franchise, one that the gaming community has not seen the full effect of just yet. Breath of the Wild is also getting a sequel sometime in the future and has also received its own pseudo-prequel with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. This new direction was substantiated further with Breath of the Wild, which applied a lot of A Link Between Worlds’ philosophy into a wholly new kind of open-world adventure. One that went back to the series’ roots to be a completely open-world game with player driven choices and agency. We may not have known it then but A Link Between Worlds was truly the first sign of things changing for the Zelda franchise. This was substantiated with the item renting mechanic, letting the player have access to a massive arsenal without having to earn them in dungeons first. This truly emphasised the 3D nature of this world, despite being presented in the same top-down camera perspective as A Link to the Past.Īnother main innovation of A Link Between Worlds was how open it was, breaking the formulaic shackles of its predecessors by letting players roam free and tackle the game in their own way. The first was the ability to merge into the walls of the game, allowing us to explore the world in a different perspective. So while experienced players would be familiar with the lay of the land, there were still some modern upgrades to be had. ![]() ![]() So seeing Nintendo return to one of their most iconic games of all time and making a belated sequel to it, almost seemed like an act of desperation.Ī Link Between Worlds was set in the same world as A Link to the Past, but was not necessarily a direct sequel, as it takes place many years after. Nintendo wasn’t in the best position during the 3DS and Wii U’s heyday, with this period of time being one of the rockiest in the company’s history.
