>>39308945Because the features added/ditched in the Mario and Zelda games actually get replaced by new, equivalent features, and the features added/ditched ACTUALLY suit and define the games in a unique way instead of just being general QoL improvements that COULD be added to every game but just aren't.
Sailing specifically suits Wind Waker because the game takes place in a flooded world. It wouldn't make sense for the main movement mechanic of BotW to be sailing when water isn't the majority of the world.
Transforming into a wolf is specific to the plot of Twilight Princess and gets replaced by other types of transformation or movement or attack in other games.
The Dark World is a specific plot point in the games it's featured in.
Things like following pokemon or the battle frontier are not plot points, they're features that could easily suit literally every game in the franchise, but they just don't bother because they know they don't need to.
>Mario Odyssey didn't have the cat suit or the tanuki suitThat comparison doesn't really work, Mario Odyssey is a 3D mario game, which doesn't have the same power-up system as the 2D mario games. That'd be like saying Sword and Shield removed the ability to play as a Pokemon like in the Mystery Dungeon games.
>Barely anyone here even likes megas, but now that they're gone everybody loved themThis is a point I agree with, I feel like people are booing the removal of megas specifically to be a negative that Dynamaxing replaced them without actually regretting their removal. I think the complaint still stands, it's just a particularly weak argument for the complaint as opposed to stronger ones that exist.
