Nintendo acknowledges the Zelda cycle
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
The “Zelda cycle” is something that has constantly been discussed by players. It boils down to a contingent of fans maintaining a negative opinion about a newly released Zelda title, only to think more positively about the game a couple of years later. The cycle generally repeats with each new release in the franchise.
There may be no better example of the Zelda cycle than Wind Waker. When it was initially revealed, most would likely say that the response to the game was very much negative. The reaction was a bit more favorable when Wind Waker actually launched, but it wasn’t until the game had been out for a number of years that fans looked back positively.
Nintendo acknowledged – and discussed – the Zelda cycle in its new Zelda: Wind Waker HD Iwata Asks. You can find a few comments from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma after the break.
