Remember when we used to worry this game wouldn't have towns and NPCs? Hohoho, good times!
I still want this game. After the first trailer I suspected BOTW was literally Zelda 1.
Nintendo could use the same engine and in a few years create a smaller, more tightly focused NES remake that's all about dungeons, scattered NPCs and a Metroid Prime-like lonely, dangerous post-OOT Hyrule in Decline. It would be BOTW's Majora's Mask!
This idea could also work with a prettier HD version of the ALBW engine.
