10 Reasons To Be Worried About E3 2016's Hottest Video Games
3. The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - Is There Still A Place For Classic Zelda Dungeons?
Let's get this out of the way now: Breath of the Wild looks incredible. This reinvention of the franchise takes the series into a more open-world setting and blew the minds of nearly everyone that played it with its incredible implementation of new mechanics into this classic series.
As great as that is (and it is pretty great) the one word that we didn't hear nearly enough from Nintendo when they were touting the game's many new features is "dungeon."
The extended demo we saw of Breath of the Wild showcased Shrine levels that present the player with a similar atmosphere, intended to teach them certain new mechanics, but we saw nothing of those classic Zelda dungeons that have come to define the franchise.
Actually, given that much of the game seems to have moved to an outdoor setting, it's easy to wonder if the Zelda dungeons of old are going to receive as much design attention as the series new elements.
