I’m being a bit of troll, I’m not going to lie. Personally, yes, Zelda doesn’t captivate me these days. Things I value tend to overwhelming revolve around story elements, mythos, and atmosphere and I feel that this is a franchisee that doesn’t really place much emphasis on them. It’s just not for me anymore.
But I’ll br fair to myself, I wasn’t comparing Link to the past to the 3d zeldas.
Alright. Then I don't think we have any serious disagreements. I think modern Zelda is pretty boring and safe. Breath of the Wild was interesting from a mechanical standpoint as an open-world toybox, but it never interested me beyond that. Like, I think a weird fantasy world like Elden Ring or even Silksong is much more interesting than what Nintendo is doing with Zelda if we're comparing worldbuilding and lore.
