There are many ways that has helped to shape the series, but its gameplay is arguably not what will be the most significant going forward. can learn much from and , from the developments in the two games’ presentation and the many new features they have produced. Nevertheless, ’s greatest aspect (and by extension, ’s) is something entirely different.

is undeniably an incredible game, with the potential to entertain for tens, if not hundreds of hours. The version of Hyrule it presents is enormous, with the world split into three broad tiers. Moreover, Link has a wide variety of abilities perfectly suited towards exploring this open world, most notably the near-infinite possibilities of Fuse and Ultrahand. The varied, albeit sometimes niche uses of Zonai Devices contributes greatly toward this, as do the multitude of new monster parts and other items found scattered throughout Hyrule. Nevertheless, there is more to than just these features, and it is easy to consider the game's lasting legacy elsewhere.
More than any number of game mechanics, perhaps the most important way in which has developed the series is with its lore. For example, following vague allusions to them in, the Zonai are now far more firmly defined, with a clearer culture and place in Hyrule’s history. They even seem to have connections to the origins of the Sheikah tribe. As a result, it is now far easier to see the Zonai being included in future titles as well, something which can come about in various ways depending on the specific timeline placement.
In addition to the possibility of new Zonai characters being introduced (something especially likely in the event of a prequel to being produced), the now-established existence of Zonai technology opens the way to Link finding many new kinds of tools and weapons in future games. In a game set long after the Zonai have disappeared from Hyrule, Link could uncover new relics originating from their culture as part of a classic dungeon-crawling experience. These could be new examples of Zonai Devices, or even more mystical items closer to the Secret Stones in design or function.
The Yiga are another excellent example of how the world of has expanded in the most recent games. The evil ninja clan are perfectly presented to facilitate any number of dark and evil schemes in future titles. They could operate in direct service to Ganon once again, but it is equally possible for them to work with other villains, or even take center stage themselves. The hilarious mannerisms of Kohga and his subordinates will make them brilliant additions to any new game, no matter what the gameplay itself looks like.

The Witcher Creator Notes That The Netflix Series Team Never Listens To His Ideas
When it comes to The Witcher, it’s one of the best examples of having adaptations across multiple forms of media and having those adaptations be good. It started as a book series, then was picked up by CD Projekt Red, who turned it into an award-winning gaming franchise, and then Netflix grabbed it, and they’ve had three seasons of it on their streaming service, with a spinoff or two to boot. So you’d think that franchise fans and those associated with it would be happy with everything happening. However, when it comes to the franchise’s creator, he does have some bitter feelings.
