Hackers ruin the game for everyone in my view (although the stories of them can be very funny) like seriously everyone just wants to have a good time playing and ppl cheating ruins the chance of anyone else ever winning, it is the worst!
I think it will probably be outside of canon; I've heard it might not even have a story but I hope it does. It's art style is very similar to OoT as you pointed out which made me nostalgic as! It does seem ridiculous but only in an awesome kinda way not to over the top, I think it will suffer...
Re: Zelda (Wii U)
Those two games were my favourites, great dungeons and exploration although the excessive amount of items in tp got a tad out of hand. What was it about them you didn't like?
