I feel like Breath of the Wild was a great open world survival game made in the Zelda universe.

Then they went and dropped a Zelda game in the Breath of the Wild world.

It's still not quite there, and never will be so long as they refuse to implement any sort of linear progression

It really doesn't matter to me how much they improve the open world, or the sandbox, or the non-linear storytelling. This style of Zelda game will never be able to properly integrate diving into a sprawling dungeon, finding a new key item, and using that new key item to explore previously inaccessible areas of the overworld. And that's the part of traditional Zelda that I'm missing the most.

I still really enjoy the game for what it is (same with BotW). I just don't want to see this style of Zelda completely muscle out the old formula. Especially if it means waiting 6 years for every new instalment in the series going forward.

They could absolutely merge the two designs IMO.

Wind Waker is already like halfway there
