Nintendo has been exploring different perspectives in their Zelda games, with the recent Echoes of Wisdom incorporating side-scrolling elements more frequently. This raises the question of whether Nintendo should create a new side-scrolling Zelda game.
While side-scrolling Zelda games have been rare since Zelda II: The Adventure of Link in 1987, Echoes of Wisdom has shown that the side-scrolling view can work well in the series. The game features side-scrolling sections in dungeons and boss battles, adding a new dimension to the gameplay.
Considering the success of other side-scrolling games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder, it’s clear that modern gamers are still interested in this style of gameplay. Nintendo has demonstrated in Echoes of Wisdom that they have the ability to create a fully side-scrolling Zelda game, but they have yet to fully commit to it.
The question remains: should Nintendo pursue a new side-scrolling Zelda game, or is this style better left in the past? It’s up to the fans to decide. Share your thoughts in the poll and join the discussion in the comments. Let us know if you would like to see a fully side-scrolling Zelda adventure in the future.
