Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma says the series has three distinct styles of games.
One is the open-air approach with high freedom, like Breath of the Wild. Another follows the Ocarina of Time style, with a different narrative pace and focus on player growth. The third is the classic top-down 2D format.
He broke the series down into those three approaches.
Zelda fans are debating the Bombchu Bowling Lady’s new design in the Ocarina of Time remake.
The character has been redesigned for the remake, and the new version looks noticeably different from her original 1998 N64 appearance.
Some fans like the updated design, while others prefer the original. A few are also calling the new version “censored,” saying some of the character’s original features were toned down.
Zelda fans are already split over the Bombchu Bowling lady’s new look in the Ocarina of Time remake.
Early preview screenshots show her with proper fingers and black nail polish for the first time.
One fan called her “the timeless woman that you are.”
Others said the 1998 N64 version looked better and that the new design got “nerfed.”
Arguing about a bowling alley NPC almost 30 years later is pure Zelda.
