This Video Defends Linear Zelda Games and Gives Another Take on Breath of the Wild’s Open World

With Breath of the Wild‘s huge open world on the horizon, a lot of fans are excited for this big change from Skyward Sword‘s extremely linear style of gameplay.

However, one man has set out to explain why he thinks linear Zelda games aren’t that bad.

RoberOnocle first explains the transition between The Legend of Zelda for NES, and it’s sequel, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
