Re: Is it me or...

Well, over the past few years I have noticed a decline of replay value in Zelda games. The first time you play through them, it doesn't matter what you have to do because you are playing the game for the first time and it seems... magical. But after that, everything has lost its hype and things seem more repetitive. Now, with Twilight Princess, my one concern is this massive overworld. You see, we didn't really like the Great Sea because it took so long to get places, but what do we have now? A massive land area for Hyrule Field. I've read that this Hyrule is at least three times the size of Hyrule in Ocarina of Time. That's VERY huge. So, in Wind Waker, you could set sail, go get a snack, use the bathroom, come back, and you're at the island. But, in Twilight Princess, you will have to press down the control stick and tell your horse to go faster. Of course, you could just reset the neutral position on the control stick, but where's the fun in that? Zelda games are getting very repetitive and are using the same exact concepts as games before them.
