When we were last treated to Advanced Media Network’s “Evolving Zelda” feature article, Phillip Levin gave his two cents on how Zelda has changed and grown through the years, and seemingly stopped doing so. While most of the article didn’t resonate with me personally, it may have for some of you and that’s OK.
However, his colleague, Lucas DeWoody, has written a follow-up article which takes a look at Zelda’s evolution in storytelling through FMV or the lack of, voice acting, orchestrated music, and other visual presentation aspects. I do believe that this follow-up article better understands the magic of what makes Zelda what it is, and looks at directions where the series could go while still making new games feel like Zelda games.
