I wonder why it feels like a tech demo?
It's probably more on my side, trying to rationalize why they went with a direct sequel to LTTP instead of just making a new standalone game. The place holder idea doesn't hold up, I mean why would they use WW intro art as a place holder when they could just use some rudimentary stick figure. I just don't think mining nostalgia that directly is actually going to be worthwhile. How big is the subset of Zelda fans who like LTTP so much that they will buy this but wouldn't care about a completely new top down Zelda game?
