Whether Skyward Sword is good or bad isn’t the point. You better hope it is the best Zelda ever because the fact is you will not get the next console Zelda until 2016. It apparently takes five years to make console Zelda games now.
I’m curious why it takes so long. It’s not like Zelda games today have any overworld or rich combat system. Do the Zelda developers just play with the engine all day doing ‘experiments’? What the hell have they been doing for this past half decade?
Since Zelda today is nothing but a bunch of puzzles, perhaps Nintendo ought to place Zelda stickers on a Rubik’s Cube and be done with it. Why not just make a Zelda-themed rubik’s cube instead of a video game, which is far more expensive and time consuming? With the way how Zelda is currently constituted, why even have it in video game form? I’m serious.
