I would play a Zelda MMO, even if the only reason would be to see if the game would be any good.
I am not sure if it is a good or bad idea, but even with my admittedly limited amount of time playing the games, the series doesn't seem like it would make a very good MMO. Sure, it does have a massive world and varied races, but I couldn't get over Link not being the big hero. It wouldn't feel like it was a LoZ game. It would be closer to a fantasy MMO with elements of LoZ.
Still, as I already said, if one comes out, I am playing it.

wow. everybody hates this idea. sorry dude. I also say no, but thats more because Im annoyed at the current trend towards making an mmo about everything. I cant go five minutes without hearing about the latest attempt to cash in on what blizzard has done. and I cant see this amounting to much more than that. in a world where mmorpgs are becoming increasingly mainstreame, Zelda needs to stick to its roots and do what it does well, not jump on the proverbial bandwagon.
I was thinking along the lines of this. Have Gannon(add the dorf if you want) invade hyrule once more, but this time no chosen hero surfaces to save the day. The good races of hyrules mobilize to fight the hoards of evil.seydaman said:
Against this rather basic backdrop, have WAR like arenas where you can battle other players directly and for the territory of hyrule. With two main cities that the main objectives that are hard to get to and capture.Have key characters like Zelda or Gannon be mod controlled and restricted to their home capital.
Make them near unkillable and just whip them up outside of the capital occasionally with very little warning for a set time, as a little morale booster, and a way to add zelda characters to the main storyline as they choose to sally forth.
On the side we have dungeons that you can use to claim equipment that can enhance your ability to fight in the main war. Single player dungeons could focus exclusively upon this, whilst multi-player dungeons would have puzzles ala four swords, with the added mix or PVP combat as whoever controls the dungeon confers a bonus to the surrounding areas for the controlling side.
Perhaps the single player dungeons could open up hidden paths for that player and other who have found it to reach other battle zones quicker.
There. Its not a perfect idea, but if its what I managed to knock up on the fly after reading some of the constructive comments on the forum and the background story that seydamen thought up me being a barely awake person who knows sod all about gaming design in general it could work.
In the hands of a company that knew what they were doing (would suggest nintendo whip this out to a third party known for being good with MMOs, with them having explicit permission to veto certain things just so they feel in control of the IP)it could work.
Just spotted the quote LOLMrEco said:
Its not that hard a setup to figure out a action focused MMO in the style of guild wars or PSO limited number of players per area/town. The story revolves around Zelda lore minus the whole singular hero bits. You have multi character races with slightly different stats and attacks, multi different classes to max out variety.
Dungeons/Mazes are setup for single and multi player play threws with a mix of puzzle solving and exploring with a emphasis on 4-8 party groups.
They could run as a free setup and change for simple things like changing server,changing character class with minimal point loss,having more than 3 characters(2$ per character,one time fee). Make money from DLC and expansions. Or offer the free with 2 levels of subscription plans, a 5$ a month plan that gets you 10 character slots and free sever transfers,free character class change for minimal loss, you get some free DLC, for 15$ you get all DLC and coupons for 25% off the 40$ expansion.
Offer at least 2 of these plans you it wont have any trouble making money..
Yeaaaaaaa, this is just a NO to me.
LoZ can't be an MMO at all. I don't see how it would work. I really don't.
As Max said, no one else in the game really does anything.

Oy you dump the single hero bit and expand on the race and class lore already there to make a proper action focused fantasy action RPG... like Mana.Evil Raven665 said:
Don;t think of this as a MMO, its more a MP based game with a kinda open over world and dungeons meant for 1-4 or 2 or 3 teams of 4 for either competition or everyone rading and getting through the dungeon together. Levels are built with puzzle and traps in mind made large enough to put group tactics to use.
This is more like a cross between a FPS with a squad based game play and GW or Daiblo you have very open towns and possibly over world maze areas and dungeons would be limited to teams of 2 or more working together or against each other or single players.
Points and treasure gained can be used for game types, whoever gets the most points depending on game type (damage given,rubies taken/treasure taken) you can cherry pick what items are handed out from the competition or hunt.
Now to make the MMO aspect more interesting say you have a dozen dungeons around town a low level player can get to,randomly the main treasure (generally a gadget, like rope1-3,hook rope1-3,rope arrow1-6,hook shot1-6,bag,bomb,ect) The trick is sometimes they are not always there. If ti looks like the dungeon has been looted the only thing you will find is a rare item once in a great while.
There's alot of potential here to make a "live" game.
One of my favourite game franchises turned into one of my least favourite game genres? No thanks. And I think MMO fans wouldn't like to play an MMORPG made by Nintendo (due to friend codes and the lack of communication).
