I have an idea that could spice up the Zelda series

[Dejawesp]

You start of as Link. Just copy paste his gameplay and controls from another Zelda game (Give him the sling shot and sword and a boomerang or whatever). Then about 2 hours into the game in a dungeon. Link gets captured by some evil force and you then have to spend an entire game as Zelda out to save Link.

Give Zelda her own unique abilities and items perhaps with some focus on magic. Class wise it should work out well. If Link is a Fighter-Theif Class then make Zelda a Mage-Theif class. All the agility and sneaky manoeuvrability combined with some magic instead of Links brute force wailing with a sword.


Could work.

I'd be completely fine with that as a spin-off.

Even more so, can't we play Ganon for once? He'd be a warrior-mage class.

 

[DJDarque]

I like the idea. Would it have to be called The Legend of Link, then?

But if Link goes where is the eye candy?

Outsource character design to team ninja. Problem solved.

How about Nintendo just stops making the same damn game for once?

 

[Neverhoodian]

You mean like these?
Well, probably not...

It's not a bad idea though...if it was actually done right.

Do you think that someone who refers to Link as "eye candy" is going to be interested in watching woman with huge tits? Don't take Link away from me, there are so few games with attractive male protagonists and so many with "hot babes".

Instead of Zelda, how about we play as Navi. Your class would be obnoxious-thief.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Wasn't that the plot of one of the cartoon's episodes?

I think one of the CD-i games did something similar, too...which doesn't mean it's not still a good idea.

Sheik is pretty hot, too.

Uh...wouldnt you be playing as her? Would be insteresting to see all the could have been guys as opposed to Link's harem of admirerers. She should have a Goron admirerer to counter Link's Zora girl.

Reminds me of my friend saying they should make Ocarina of Time where a second player can be Navi, but only gets two buttons. One for "Hey!" and the other for "Listen!"

Zelda? hell no, we should be able to play as Sheik!

I had a similar idea to this a while ago. Have the opening cut scene with the King of Hyrule and his loyal knight Link going on a road trip or something with their various advisors and what not when they're attacked by Gannon. He wins kills almost everyone and takes control of the kingdom. Unknown to him the heir to the throne princess Zelda escaped and is rescued/ raised by the dessert thieves (can't remember their name). When she's ready she goes back to rescue her kingdom, although of course she can't go in a pink floral dress and whatnot and so dons the green tunic and hat, perhaps taking the name of her fathers loyal knight as a cover.

oh! oh! ohhhhh I see. Thats cool bro. I'm open minded... What about Bullet Storm? I heard there's tons of wang in that game.

Alright, good point, I'm more interested now.

I'd play that game, and I'd get altogether too much enjoyment from that. Hey, List-h-hey-listen! It'd be like a really simple and pointless parappa.
