New Zelda on the block?

[thePyro_13]

1. Give all the characters voice actors. Including Link!

<- not link...

2. Make Ganon alot more evil! Kidnapping a single person over and over again isnt what I would call evil. He needs to start thinking bigger. Along the ways of becoming the next Napoleon Boneparte.

<- Make him like ocarina of time, he controlled most of hyrule. that made him pleanty evil.

3. Make Zelda alot more atractive. I dont know a single real life person that finds Zelda attractive. If she actualy was as hot as Link thinks her to be it would be a great incentive to go and save her.

<- ...

4. Make the game alot more mature. Give enemie's blood when you stab them. And instead of them falling to the ground and exploding into dust there bodies should just be left there, only until you leave the room though. Also, tits! Add tits! Im not saying they should put nudity in the game. But it would definately improve the experience if along the way Link was distracted from his adventure by some big-busted women. And things of the sort.

<- no, just no. The blood possibly, but why do you want tits?

5. Quit being so dungeon reliant. Dungeons are fine here and there. But its boring when the main part of a game is nothing but dungeons.

<- Thats what LoZ has been from the very start. removing dungeons would be like making a liner GTA game with no sandbox.

6. Alternatively, I once heard a rumor that the next LoZ would be set in the future. I think thats a great idea! Giving Link a sword with electricity running down it to make it burning hot. Allowing the sword to cut through almost everything. Giving Link gadgets that acted like magic would be cool. Freezing time, or moving objects with the flick of a hand. It would all be awesome!

<- Done right, this could be a very nice break from the repetitive nature of the series

4. I wouldn't mind a more mature themes, but not gallons and gallons of blood. Link is still The Hero, most of the things he does are not going to be morally questionable, so it'd be hard to put "adult themes" into the game. Also...."big-busted women" would not improve the experience. Frankly, I think the suggestion borders on extreme idiocy.
For one, not everyone thinks "omg huge tits LIEK AWESOME LOL." For two...just, no.

I lol'd.

I wasnt asking for gallons and gallons of blood. But a little of the red stuff hitting the ground when ive got my 10 foot long master sword stuck through ganons heart is greatly needed, IMO.

Also I didnt intend for huge tits to be the main draw of the game like it is for all the Tomb Raiders and every fighting game ever made(satire). But having a lil... "perk" in Zelda would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

 

[Nazulu]

I still reckon they should make a game for Ganondorf, a new link keeps replacing the old link but ganondorf keeps taking over the world, losing the battle with link ,then getting locked away in some special chamber and then after 100 years or watever somehow breaks free AGAIN.

1. Give all the characters voice actors. Including Link!

Only if they get the same quality dubs as other Japanese to English games.

2. Make Ganon alot more evil! Kidnapping a single person over and over again isnt what I would call evil. He needs to start thinking bigger. Along the ways of becoming the next Napoleon Boneparte.

This... I agree with. He was great in Ocarina of Time. A true villain.

3. Make Zelda alot more atractive. I dont know a single real life person that finds Zelda attractive. If she actualy was as hot as Link thinks her to be it would be a great incentive to go and save her.

You want to jerk it to the Princess of Hyrule?

Anyways, you seem to have missed the part where he's fighting to save the entire world.

4. Make the game alot more mature. Give enemie's blood when you stab them. And instead of them falling to the ground and exploding into dust there bodies should just be left there, only until you leave the room though. Also, tits! Add tits! Im not saying they should put nudity in the game. But it would definately improve the experience if along the way Link was distracted from his adventure by some big-busted women. And things of the sort.

OH YEA! TOTALLY! They should leik, make it leik Fallout 3 and MORTAL KOMBAT where you can see guts and head 'splosions and COOL MATURE SHIT!! LOL Link jus' sliced off that guys dick! SO AWESOME I LUV DIS GAEM!

Totally agreed on the second part. They should team up with Tecmo.

5. Quit being so dungeon reliant. Dungeons are fine here and there. But its boring when the main part of a game is nothing but dungeons.

Have you ever played a Zelda game beyond five minutes? The game has been a premier dungeon crawler for the past 23 years. Remove the dungeons and you might as well remove the name Zelda from its title.

6. Alternatively, I once heard a rumor that the next LoZ would be set in the future. I think thats a great idea! Giving Link a sword with electricity running down it to make it burning hot. Allowing the sword to cut through almost everything. Giving Link gadgets that acted like magic would be cool. Freezing time, or moving objects with the flick of a hand. It would all be awesome!

Of course. Nothing spells originality like setting a fantasy or modern title in SPACE. That always turns out great and remains true to the material. When I think of Zelda, I think of the Master Lightsaber.



Now, some parts of this were sarcastic. I thought I would just point that out in case your... mind... started doing backflips.

 

[MrEco]

I'd like to see bigger variation on the plot for once, I know you'll always be searching for things, I know you'll always need to save the princess, but could we change up a little? I was excited when it looked like Twilight Princess would be a War Story, but I was sadly mistaken.

I can see it now. Set in the future. Link, just another soldier in the army until he finds out he is the ancestor of the Hero of Time. Somethin like that. But yeah, a lil story mixing would also be a great bonus.

 

[GunnerGraye]

Nope, keep the formula same. If they were going to make drastic changes, then they should just make a different game entirely.

As for your suggestions, I disagree on each point.

1. "Excuuuuse me princess." That and the CDI zelda series are the very reason Link should never open his mouth, except for his various screams and yells.
2. It's a family game. He's about as evil as they can make him.
3. Ugh. Come on.
4. See 2.
5. What's wrong with dungeons?
6. No, no, no, no, no.

Not saying your ideas aren't good, just that I don't think they fit in a Zelda game. Take those ideas and apply them to a completely different title, because Zelda does not need to change its formula.

Seconded, all the way.

The animated show is infinitely times better than CDI Zelda. CDI shouldn't even be mentioned.

To op:Basically what Fanboy said, except you seem to forget that Ganon(dorf) always tries to destroy the world in every game. He only kidnaps Zelda because she had the tri-force of wisdom.

 

[AhhARealMonster]

OP wants to make Zelda boring, and is a stupid kid who doesn't know nothin' about' nothin' when it comes to games design.

Personally I loved the smoke effects

The last Zelda game I enjoyed was "The Legend of Princess", an indie game by Konjak, which is really fucking good.

All your suggestions are ways to make zelda more boring. Look! Tits! We're a MATURE game, we appeal to 13 yr olds who can't legally buy fucking NUTS magazines.

Go and buy Beyond Good and Evil, which is a GOOD game.

And could we PLEASE move away from the Ice/Fire/Electricity? A little fucking innovation please, like the Bee-Shooting BioShock arm?

Link should be able to ride a giant fucking insect. Yeah, that'd be cool. And have blue hair, inexplicably. And get out of fucking hyrule. And lets have more cats in armour, they rock. Some more interesting graphics aswell, like the wind waker. More mature plot that DOESNT have Ganon in it, and DOESNT have Zelda in it, except as Links Mom or something totally non-old-Zelda.

No more fucking volcanoes, no more fucking endless trawling in oceans, no more fucking gorons, no more fucking boomerang. No more fucking push-the-block puzzles (ENOUGH PUSHING BLOCK PUZZLES, GAME DEVS EVERYWHERE).

More big, sprawling dungeons with cool shit (Like the rails spinner sections. They were NEW and INTERESTING). Let's have the ability to have a hookshot you can use a swinging rope, LIKE IT ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN, like the wind waker, which was pretty decent.

Link should be black/and/or/female.

Actaully, yes, that's what I want. A black female link with a pleasant lilting accent in green garb who carries the MYSTERY sword, not the master sword, which has been destroyed in the past, but the MYSTERY sword, which has purple smoke coming off it, and fights the wind waker giant cat knights in armour, and flies around on a giant flying mantis called Poena.

Tits and swearing make a game immature not mature

That's fucking hilarious and yes, Legend of Princess is amazing.

I felt this way too. Originally TP looked poised to take the game into a whole different direction story wise, but ended up being the most shallow of all. It was a fun game, but an unfortunate one.

Why would your scenario have to be set in some futuristic Hyrule? This would work well (even better) in the regular medieval fantasy world the game currently exists in.

 

[WolfThomas]

As I'm getting lazy, here's my old idea for a new Zelda game.

How I'd make it (never gonna really happen)

Hyrule has been prosperous over a thousand or more years of relative peace. Basically no massive cataclysms. But its also corrupt and bureaucratic, magic has faded away and the other races retreated deep into their kingdoms. Wars have been fought against rebellion, pretenders to the throne and other nations of hylans/humans.

Link is a cynical thirty something guardsman-lieutenant, a minor officer who has gained his rank through merit in the field of battle, but hasn't advanced far due to a lack of political or family ties. He looks the same just grizzled and older, short cropped hair and beard, scar running down one side of his face across his eye. Hes an expert swordsman but with a brawling no rules attitude. He wears a guardsman's uniform of green with armour.

Zelda is a idealistic young princess who wants to change the world.

Suddenly the sky darkens and some cataclysmic event happens, coinciding with Gannondorf's, a rebel leader, attack on the palace and Link is part of the escort to get Zelda to safety. He would be the only one to escape alive with Zelda.

Now Zelda remembering fanciful stories of the ancient hero, the gods and the other races, decides to unite Hyrule and find a magical solution. Link is not impressed, but he is ordered to follow her and obey her every command, so he does, making sarcastic comments frequently (oh yeah he can speak). Unlike other Zeldas, you would spend a lot of time with the princess.

You would escort, protect her and do missions for her. As a gameplay mechanic she'd be a companion would heal you and eventually fight alongside you with magic.

Now the enemies would be both magical and monstrous, but also include humans brigands and desperate refugees.

Magic and other mystical stuff would be present but with an emphasis on how amazing its reappearance is, rather then being a common happenstance. As the game progressed thing would become more and more unbelievable to the characters.

Overtime Zelda would learn how much her people were suffering before the event. Link would find something to believe, eventually taking up the master sword and saving the day (way near the end). The two would also fall in love, not this first sight love from afar stuff, as initially they would hate each other, hes a crass violent commoner, shes a stuck up princess etc.

Overall still being a fantasy tale, but one of hope, love and redemption.

When I speak of a mature Link, I mean he has the wisdom gained from a life lived, rather then him calling someone a Goron-kissing son of a Zora.

 

[Milkatron]

1. Link doesn't speak, end of story. The rest, I would accept as long as they don't butcher it horribly.
2. This doesn't make too much sense to me. Do you want him to be more destructive? More creative? I don't think Ganon should deviate too far from his norm. It's what he does.
3. Here's one.
4. In the end, call it what you want, it's marketed to children. Blood, while interesting in theory, would never happen.
5. You're messing with tradition here. Everyone knows messing with tradition is a recipe for rage from the fanboys. If you want to take that away, you might as well take away all the central characters as well, because that's the level you're talking on.
6. While I'm unopposed to new gadgets, this sounds ridiculous. Look for something else.

Conclusion: You're full of shit. You don't reevaluate a formula that's proven a success. Look for a new game, one that's not as good as Zelda.

 

[Medic Heavy]

All i want from Zelda is more story, I don't no why, but i just care so much about the story behind The Legend Zelda games. Every time when i would do a task in the newest Loz Twilight Princess i would always go back and check on everyone, it felt weird i cared so much about generic 2 - dimensional characters.

Trust me. I've become quite bored of some of the things you mentioned aswell. But if there was even a one in million chance that anyone would bother listening to ideas like that I probly would have mentioned them.

Also, since when were tits considered immature? Do all males become homosexual once they turn 18? Ensuring that any man who thinks tits would improve a game HAS to be an immature idiot?

 

[Sigma1337]

Majora's mask is nowhere like Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess.

Ironically Majora's Mask is one of the few I havent playd in the series.

Honestly i really liked Majora's Mask and every other LoZ game that i played basically from Links awakening on the SNES up. So if you havent played MM then go for it i find myself replaying it from time to time along with OoT and TP.

I think your ideas aren't bad necessarily but stated before, it just wouldn't fit a zelda game. I think that the Zelda Team should just continue with the same game winning formula with adding new gadgets and Innovative concepts that spice the game up but when i play a Zelda game I'm always reminded of the reason i buy and play them... because they are fun and are basically BS less.

Ive loved what theyve done with zelda over the years and hope that they never let us down.

It hopefully will be a cold day in Hell when they Fuck it up and i stop liking zelda games.

In other words NEVER.

Lets not see the zelda team go the same way that the Sonic team did by starting out with a great formula then fucking it up as bad as an ADHD retard who forgot to take his Adderall.

I'm not a story writer. It was a spur of the moment idea. Im not saying anyone should run with it.

1. Give all the characters voice actors. Including Link!
2. Make Ganon alot more evil! Kidnapping a single person over and over again isnt what I would call evil. He needs to start thinking bigger. Along the ways of becoming the next Napoleon Boneparte.
3. Make Zelda alot more atractive. I dont know a single real life person that finds Zelda attractive. If she actualy was as hot as Link thinks her to be it would be a great incentive to go and save her.
4. Make the game alot more mature. Give enemie's blood when you stab them. And instead of them falling to the ground and exploding into dust there bodies should just be left there, only until you leave the room though. Also, tits! Add tits! Im not saying they should put nudity in the game. But it would definately improve the experience if along the way Link was distracted from his adventure by some big-busted women. And things of the sort.
5. Quit being so dungeon reliant. Dungeons are fine here and there. But its boring when the main part of a game is nothing but dungeons.


6. Alternatively, I once heard a rumor that the next LoZ would be set in the future. I think thats a great idea! Giving Link a sword with electricity running down it to make it burning hot. Allowing the sword to cut through almost everything. Giving Link gadgets that acted like magic would be cool. Freezing time, or moving objects with the flick of a hand. It would all be awesome!

1: Not link. Everyone else would be fine by me.
2: I agree with this. He was never as good as he was in OoT. BTW: why did they make him fat?
3: She isn't hot already? She looks a lot better than Peach.
4: It's a Nintendo game, it won't happen.
5: I think they're doing the right think by having the dungeons, but a larger outside world would be nice.
6: WTF?
