How do you define new though? The game from OP never existed before although components are common in other games.

On a spectrum of course, granted that could mean a 3D paddle is new, but hey we know we are not talking about that right? We know we are talking about a game with enough differences not to say this is 3D X, but this is OOT the direction zelda will be taking

This is like saying an AI will never create a new math proof.

An AI certainly can and will create a new fun game in a target period. It may require some instruction to brainstorm, or a source of statistical noise, but I am certain it can do it.

How do you define never? How do you define component? How do you define common? Can you define what a game is?

Why can't we have normal conversations without getting questioned in this weird way?

It's a really effective tactic for promoting a position without ever having to stand by it.
