Idea for a fresh Legend of Zelda.

[Magnaflame]

I thought that Legend of Zelda would be awesome with more RPG elements. Instead of the same old items, Link should find items in chest and places, and dungeons like in games like Fate. And there could be leveling and skill trees, if you wanted a magic using Link, then so be it, and it should be less linear, I know it already is but you're still led along the story pretty rigidly. I know it's probably not original, but if you guys will add to this idea, maybe it will grow and eventually become reality, or you can verbally assault me, your choice.

Hmm, throwing out suggestions for a fresh Legend of Zelda comes off as a tad... blasphemous?

Turning Legend of Zelda into a grind might be a step in the wrong direction. On the other hand, it'd be inevitable if they decided to make a Legend of Zelda MMORPG.

I bet I could get some ph4t l00t butchering the Kokiri village.

That last part made me sad...

Anyway I don't think Legend of Zelda needs new gameplay. It might do well to get a new, cool story that doesn't involve saving Princess Zelda.

Was it because of the thought of the Kokiri's getting butchered, or was it because of the thought of how all MMORPGs tend to treat their licenses?

Both actually. The Kokiris a little more though.

Wow. I really hope there is never a Legend of Zelda MMO.

 

[Isaac Dodgson]

No no no no no

the Zelda is hanging on by a thin thread as is! It's not supposed to be an RPG, but a story driven action puzzle adventure...and making it an MMO would be...well just bad. I don't even need a conclusive argument, it would just be Bee Ae Dee BAD...



heh...

Throw Link, Sonic, Mario, and all the old gen mascots into a casket nail it shut and bury them alive so something interesting could come out of the gaming world...now that's an idea...
I have one have lost enthusiasm for all the "mascot" games. Zelda its usually the same story but throwing in some gimmick light/dark, masks, etc... I'd really love to something new instead of rehashing the same ideas over and over and throwing on new graphics.

I've actually thought quite a bit about this for many months now. I'd tell you all about it, but then I'd have to kill you.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Zelda + Mature story with genocide, death, and religeous intolerance + ancient relics of power = Good.

 

[NinjaSkills]

Zelda MMO = Bad Idea

 

[canarmane]

Wait...did you say "Instead of the same old items, Link should find items in chests and places, and dungeons" ?

What the hell are you on? That IS how link finds items.

 

[Magnaflame]

Ok, you're right, that made me laugh, I mean like uhh, dang, more crap that's different and is random I guess. But yeah, Rednog, Nintendo won't ever stop with mascots, it's just what they do, and if you don't like them for that, then it's hard to like them at all.

Keep Samus, though, she's earned her keep through Metroid Prime.

 

[black lincon]

I've had the Idea that they should ditch link and get a new hero of time. my Idea involved link being reincarnated as twins, they could split the mastersword in two because there are two heroes now and with two people you could have a lot of fun puzzles that involved splitting the pair and doing two things independently that affected a larger puzzle.

 

[Aiden Rebirth]

NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! zelda will be the same game to the end off time. what is wrong with you?

Replace Zelda with any game series, and it still works. Zelda is just visible because it's old. How different is GOW I and II? COD 4 and 5? etc.

Zelda shines because it is always fun.

RPGs differ from this because they are NOT always fun.

GRINDING = NOT FUN.

The only thing even resembling Grinding in Zelda is exploration, which is rewarding and interesting.

Yes, the first good idea so far! or at least get rid of the sailing, link, strange wind instruments, and saving zelda, who no matter how many times you save her always manages to get caught again. something like princess peach
