I reckon it could, but its not Nintendo's style of game so I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting for it.

First question, do you even think an M-Rated Zelda game would work

Second question, if there were an M-Rated Zelda game, what would you be expecting to see? (pick as many as necessary)

A) Swearing
B) Blood
C) Gore
D) Tits/Ass/Genitalia
E) Sex
F) Dark depiction of Link
G) Other
H) All
A: Open OoT, play as adult Link, and jump off of a high ledge and you will find that this has already happened. I wouldn't like it in other ones however.
B: This has also happened to some degree. I don't have a problem with it.
C: A little.
D: Probably a bad idea.
E: Definatly a bad idea (doesn't mean it shouldn't be done).
F: A shadow link would do nicely. Emo Link, however, would not.

I"ll go with what other people are saying, throwing in blood, gore, and sex does not make your game "mature".

This thread seems familiar. Isn't this a spin-off of that other thread whining about how Zelda should be 'hot' and Link should talk?

Either way, Zelda is a franchise that should be untouched by the sick minds of bored teenagers and their pre-pubescent urge to think anything over-the-top violent or perverted in a game is the only thing that will make it cool. Zelda does not have to be Mature. It doesn't necessarily have to work as it should not be done at all. Just because you have a fun toy does not mean in any way that it would be better once you slap a bra on it and dump a bucket of blood over it.

The dark depiction of link could be interresting. Twilight princess had small sprays of blood.

Sex, dicks, ass and titties in a zelda game? u gotta be kidding me right?

Link more or less turned saria, zelda and that zora chick down in OOT, and the big busty bar lady on TP as well... he's obviously either gay or not interrested in sex.

While we're at it, give the Teletubbies shotguns and send them to Darfur.
I would pay money to see that.
There was 2 episodes of Nazi-tubbies on Danish television on a satiric show that talked about how the world (kids television) would've looked if Hitler had won WWII. It was quite hillarious actually, while still sort of disturbing

Zelda is already the same story over and over. God forbid they change anything.
Not really. Same basic formula, true, but play, say, Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time, and Wind Waker and tell me they're all the same. Go ahead. You'll find basic similarities between all three (and they're a series, so why not?) and some thematic similarities between OoT and TP, but they're actually fairly different.

I agree. I always saw Zelda as sort of...I guess dignified is the word? Even when she was pretending to be a man, she always had an air of sophistication.

No way on earth that there will ever be a M-rated zelda.
1st reason, Nobody in the game talks, they just make grunting noises or annoying giggling etc...
2nd reason, Blood and Gore alone is only a T, E10 at times in this day and age.
3rd reason, There have already been 'Dark Links'
4th reason, Nintendo makes these games

All the LoZ games need for Link to get something halfway decent for saving Hyrule for the upteeth billionth time. At least a short peck on the cheek or something. I mean, I know he is dedicated...but come on......

I think if they did, it would have to only be M for blood. Sex and swearing would be epic phail in the Zelda world, but if they were to throw in realistic dismemberment and blood physics(cut off arms, shoot arrows through torso, etc) I suppose I wouldn't be outraged, but I still think it would be kinda like the time I heard my super-polite church-going grandma cuss out a telemarketer.

It wouldn't work because I really can't imagine Nintendo themselves having anything with blood. And I'm talking about Nintendo, not third party developers who make the games.

ABC.

I need Link slicing Ganon's head off at the end, and no green blood.

Also, Link wouldn't swear since he doesn't talk, but others can.

We actually came close in Wind Waker, Link buries his sword in Ganondorf's head. Pretty hardcore for a cell shaded game :)

They can. just use a little of Pan's Labyrinth's ideas of faeries and a little more on the creepiness of the the humanoid creatures, a tiny bit more blood and you have a good game and M-rating.

well they added D with TP. G) ide like an actually halfway descent story. OoC and TP were the most complex stories and their plots had more holes than a body at a necrophelia party . And F) im sick of link being the glimmer of light that travels into the evil dark worlds like in every single zelda game since Link to the Past. He's allways blindly hopefull with absolutely no ounce of evil. At least let him have some doubt and pressure while the world expects him to be an omnipotent hylian jesus. Not just some materialistic prick who jumps for joy every time he finds a new item. But my rantings are probably for not since if they do they'll probably just throw in some Sex Tits and more Gore than any american horror movie because SHigiru Myamotu(sorry if i misspelled that) would rather slit his own eyes with the money he's made off of a s#$%% motion sensor than take a chance on something original to appease his loyal fans who stood with him through the awfull mess of the power glove, my bad the Wii . SO be ready to see the end to the violated and brutaly beaten dead horse that is The LEgend Of ZElda, once an epic fantasy is now manufactured , hastily made garbage...


Then again, they did give him a train.
