Haha, my sarcasm meter was already topping out when I saw the title.
But seriously, I'm still playing through Twilight Princess.
Thanks for ruining the surprise with all the spoilers.

I think that Twilight Princess was probably the first and only game to do the motion controls right on the Wii.
Majora's Mask was amazing, probably my favorite zelda game. Your are right IndigoDingo. (I'm not just saying that because my name's Indigoman either...)Indigo_Dingo said:
I'll have to agree with both of you.Indigoman said:
As much as Ocarina of Time was a memorable and cherished experience, Majora's Mask actually took a chance with a different villain and a completely different type of gameplay. Not to mention you had to earn your happy ending. And personally, I'm not sure if anyone else felt it, but Majora's Mask felt truly open in the world. I didn't feel a sense of linearity like in previous titles.
....which is kinda why I also liked Wind Waker. *runs for cover* DON'T FLAME ME!
Majora's mask was certainly an interesting experiment. A bit like groundhog day.
The apparent reason for it was that they were trying to figure out how to make a longer game without being forced to spend significantly more development time on it. (and it took them 3 years to make Ocarina of Time, so there's probably an important point there.)
Majora's mask is the strangest, and most interesting, certainly (especially in how it plays.). But it's not the only one that deviated from the main story that tends to get repeated.
Link's awakening had a different story.
So did Oracle of Time / Oracle of Seasons.
And the Minish cap was also different, though not to such a huge extent in terms of how it actually plays.
Discounting the Philips CDi nonsense, there have been 11 zelda games. (13, if you count 4 swords), and 2 currently being worked on.
Given it's been around for 22 years, that's less than you might expect.
Mario and Sonic are much, much worse in that regard.

Yeah, the second one: It was a sidescroller...But everyone hated them for that, mayber *That's* why they're so damn terrified of making anything new.sirbryghtside said:
Well that or the just want to see hordes of fanboys creaming their pants in the line-up to buy the SAME DAMN GAME again...You wouldn't catch me buying it, expecially given that Australia is the gaming industry's little dancing gimp and i'd have to dish out $100 to play a game that i already foolishly dished out $100 to play (read, twilight princess).
Is it too much to ask for a little innovation? i wouldn't mind them releasing the same games over and over if they went to the effort to make some other ones as well, but it seems Nintendo is far too busy with the "mo' money, mo' hoes" approach to game making...
Sorry if that was a bit of a rant.
I'll probably get it. I like Zelda games. True, they are all basically the same game but I guess that's what keeps me coming back. Can't wait for it myself.

Maybe I just suck at it, but the difficulty reached "Go F yourself" at the third dungeon. But yeah, I'd buy a successor to Zelda 2.
Same here. I'd say there's gonna be a martial artist Link seeing as he doesn't have his Sword. Oh that and a new but nearly the same item you find in a dungeon i.e - variation of grappling hook.MaxTheReaper said:
Except for Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess. They both had big variations. (3 days left over and over and the whole wolf thing)Kriptonite said:
Not to bash Majora's Mask (it's one of my favourite games), but it isn't exactly a bastion of originality. Sure there's the 3 day thing and the mask forms, but when you get right down to it, the masks are just replacements for items in OoT, and I'd hardly call all the other masks a huge feature, because most of them are just for getting an extra piece of heart.
That said, I'm looking forward to this. Zelda doesn't differ from it's formula, but that doesn't bother me much because it's so damn good.

Statue girl thing? its the ultimate cross over, Link vs Mario 3, staring master sword in a Tanookie suit!, whoop whoop!.CantFaketheFunk said:
One of those [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_Undiscovery] already happened. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_dragon]paragon1 said:
I'm not disheartened by this and I'm sure I'll love this new game. But I wish Nintendo would deviate from their tried and true formulas more often, two of my favorite games are such deviations (Majora's Mask and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island).
Haha, that's true. The items too, different look, same task. I never played Majora's Mask but I've heard it's good. I would like it if there was another huge change, keeps the formula for success from going stale.Mackinator said:
I'm still hoping that he's gonna use that statue girl to smack enemies upside the head Kole and Gnark style.
