The problem I have is that in an attempt to try and make Breath of the Wild feel more accepted, people are parroting that it's somehow what Legend of Zelda was always supposed to be like, that it's more in line and a successor to Zelda 1. You have some people treating Zelda 1 with such reverence who wouldn't even consider it their favorite Zelda, don't care to replay it, haven't played it blind or when it was released.

Why does it being similar to Zelda 1 suddenly negate the idea of being critical towards it? This seems to ignore that people can also be critical of Zelda 1. Being first doesn't make something special by default. I'd much rather accept Breath of the Wild as it's own thing than lie and try to justify it as "Oh, but you say you like Zelda and this is what Zelda would've been like, so you must like it!"
