I'm 40 years old, retired, and a serial hobbyist primarily focused on games and software. I understand that the world (and Nintendo) has passed me by and I'm not the target audience for games anymore. Most people my age are raising kids, working like slaves, and just too distracted to dive into their passions.
With that said, I find that the Zelda series is the perfect example of a franchise leaving its forefans behind. Breath of the Wild was a fun experience but patently not a Zelda game, Totk even less so. Echoes of Wisdom and LA Remake are literally for babies. Now I feel like I can only play LTTP to Wind Waker if I want to play a Zelda or even a Zelda style game.
I guess my point is that you will age out, your interests will die, and its up to you (or people your age I guess) to keep the art and genres you love alive. That's why I'm creating an LTTP clone with some inspiration from Tunic in order to keep the genre alive even if Nintendo won't.
