Daily Debate: Do You Ever Get Burned Out From Playing Zelda?
Posted on May 15 2019 by Charles Xavier
As passionate as we can be for some things, sometimes points in life come along where those passions grow stale. It can be simply from repetition; or perhaps the thing we are passionate about has changed in a way that we dislike? All of us who use this website enjoy The Legend of Zelda, but there might have been a time where the series lost its interest for us.
I can’t say I’ve ever experienced a burn out with the Zelda series. I’ve always managed playing the games in a way to keep that from happening to me. One of the only series of games I did get burned out on was the Assassin’s Creed series. I really enjoyed the games at first, but the games began being released annually. Ultimately, I think the annual releases was what made me lose interest. I had all of the games up until Assassin’s Creed: Revalations, skipped Assassin’s Creed III, and bought Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag (and had some enjoyment out of it). That was the last Assassin’s Creed game I bought. I just had my fill of it.
Have you ever had something similar happen to you with the Zelda series? Are there any Zelda games you’ve played over and over, to a point where you haven’t replayed them for a very long time? Has there been a line of releases that you considered dull, and skipped over? Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below!
