@gillythekidYT @AphrahAshe Fair enough, all I’m saying is at that time there wasn’t open world games like we define them now, that’s all the nuance I’m saying. Either way, we’re going to get a new OOT that hopefully we both enjoy! Have a great day!

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@gillythekidYT @AphrahAshe Body harvest is considered open world, also on the n64, but progression is still gated by story objectives, each time period is a separate map rather than one seamless world - does that mean it’s not open world, limited by technological advances?

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@gillythekidYT @AphrahAshe I mean, to me, at 15, in 1998 OOT was a massive open world game, I’d never experienced anything like it, there was nothing to measure it against like nowadays. But I still can’t understand why you’re so mad that people might have a different viewpoint

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@gillythekidYT @AphrahAshe Technological limits at the time, I also don’t know why you’re so bothered unless it’s a way to raise engagement for a better pay out & props if it is.

@NUFCslacker @WoodyFuts @UpTheAstonVilla Because arsenal and the others would be upset

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@pet_r1ch0r I feel your opinion would change if you had kids if your own

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@StarGinSC2 It should be done like a futuristic GTA, could you image bombing around in a sprawling cyber punk city, joining in random race events, upgrading your vehicles etc

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@ZhorahLucis The one gameplay thing it did was not to make me dislike the game from the beginning. The TP gameplay just didn’t feel Zelda for me - not speaking for everyone, but I’ve never vibed with it

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@HMKilla I mean skyward sword is right there 😅 people that didn’t experience OOT in 98 and only played it 10/15 years later I understand why they don’t get it. It was flawless when that’s all you had.

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@FelixTrapper @The24thFrame I’d say it was a proto-open-world game, judging it within the context of 1998, where it absolutely felt open compared to almost everything else available at the time - it’s one of the games that helped lay the foundations for what open-world games eventually became

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@bloob3rry_ I’ve been playing Zelda for like 38 years, and TP and SS really made me feel that I may have been falling out of love with Zelda until BOTW and TOTK, I played those as much as lttp, OOT & ww, so for me I hope it does more than just straight linear remake

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@bloob3rry_ I don’t disagree with you, but for me at 15 in 98 this was more open than anything I’d played, there was a lot of side content, but obviously open world evolves with tech advances. I don’t want to play a boxed in Zelda ever again after SS - I’m excited to see where this goes

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@mcginnisthegoat @Ivan_7750 @BuendiaSZN Not to mention Nigel Spink coming on for the game

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@gillythekidYT @bloob3rry_ I mean I was 15 when this game came out, it was as open world as anything I’d ever played - I was blown away, but I still did the adult timeline in the ‘wrong order’ - maybe even the child timeline. The village & deku tree is basically the plateau in botw 🤷🏻‍♂️ make it fully OW pls

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@FootballVault8 Could have been like 9 red cards here 😂

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@shann_fox I can never read comments on the nufc posts - I’m not blocked or anything 🤷🏻‍♂️ so weird

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@eliteguias I actually was one of the first to get a public hands on with OOT demo in the UK at an event 👀

[Jamesy @jamesydraws]

@JCBDCD @VillaLeeAV @YN_Washington They literally don’t though 😂 there may be half a dozen at most, one that made the switch in his 20s the others wanted an easier step into retirement without getting their bodies broken more in rugby
