Release Date: TBA 2015. The Buzz: The first core Zelda game on the Wii U takes the series in an exciting new direction with open-world gameplay that aims to promote more freedom and diversify the experience. Why It Could Suck: Though it's tough to imagine Nintendo screwing up a Zelda game, the drastic change to an open-world style could simply result in a directionless game that doesn't give the player enough to do. Unlikely, but nobody's perfect. Why You'll Play It Anyway: Zelda fans likely don't give much of a damn about reviews, and even if they do, they're almost certainly still going to buy it. After all, the game looks gorgeous and it's nigh-on impossible to believe that there won't be something in it worth playing.
