IE: A reallllllllllly nasty place:
About the only exciting Zelda news now is whenever Age of Calamity has updates: (which ironically their DLC Wave 2 is more exciting then Wave 1) since now we get to have a certain Yiga Captain! but alas that is 3rd party,. HOWEVER they DIDN'Tt say it's their final DLC so we could see a wave 3 next year.perhaps?
YET Nintendo INSIST on milking Animal Droppings for all it's worth instead of providing updates to their other Zelda titles, including their famed BOTW. Imagine if the LOZ got the Animal Crossing treatment where they keep dropping new stuff!
Why bother working on Zelda when you can spend effort on something infinitely easier to extend? Why make games when you can charge $50 for some low-poly low-effort DLC?
The big games companies aren't really about games anymore, they're about extracting as much money from addicts as possible while delivering as little as they can get away with.
So Animal Crossing's is easier to milk then new DLC for Breath of the Wild or Skyward Sword expanding more flying, adding a colosseum,etc? I can think of a number of ways they could keep existing Zelda content going!
