Aonuma Says Wii U Zelda Won’t Be Traditional

Zelda isnt goung be a princess?

Zelda party game, with puzzle board, based on elements from Majora’s Mask, you heard it here first :D

Speaking of Zelda, I just got my physical copy of Windwaker a day early!

looking forward to it!

but dont take link or zelda away from me :D

SAW THIS YESTERDAY THAANKS FOR THE LATE NEWS

four player co-op keen too four swords

I’d like to see Zelda take a facial…….

I’m out if they ditch Link

I would love then to take a little inspiration from the super smash bros series and have Zelda be the protagonist. She would have a mechanics where she could change between zelda with magical attacks and abilities and sheik where she relies on speed and melee attacks. The puzzles would involve the changing mechanic and each of her personas would have specific weapons they could use. Some enemies would also be more vulnerable to the different attacks offered by each or her forms. This will never happen because it is TOO different but man would that be a cool game to play

Payable zelda confirmed

I’ll be fine with the change as long as:
1.) No multiplayer
2.) Link and zelda are involved, or Just link, Like in MM. etc. so the game can feel natural
(The “Is this zelda?! Oh it is Zelda” quote kind of scares me.
3.) Keeps SOME important formulas of the game.

You know what would actually be cool? Like how in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. instead of renting Items and seeing them too early spoiling the game (kinda)
Zelda Wii U can; instead of sprinkling the items in linear dungeons/temples. waiting for you to get them. They can be sprawled across the land. as treasures hidden in seemingly ‘important’ (Special) caves, forests, mountains, and even towns. the reason i say “Seemingly important” is because these locations have NOTHING to do with the Actual dungeons/temples of the game (If any) except for the fact that you need the items that resides in it. But you will have to travel to these places to receive the items most needed for the dungeon you are trying to beat.

It’s a similar concept in the Wind Waker when you receive the power bracelets and Iron boots.those Items were different from the others because they were secret treasures hidden on remote islands, rather than in a dungeon. and you needed other items to get to them. (Sometimes for the zelda Wii U but not all the time would it be a good idea to need other items to get another as it would make it a bit more linear)
It actually even makes more sense rather than fighting a mini boss, then a treasure box randomly appears. Instead, each of these locations for the items could still have a mini boss, or in other words, a guardian watching over the treasure. that you have to fight, or solve a puzzle to get, etc. all the while treasures are secretly hidden through out the entire land of hyrule.

The best part about this idea, You can obtain treasure maps. The same idea as WindWaker, but instead of typical treasures such as rupees and heart containers, there will be treasure maps telling you where an item you need to progress further in the game is. these treasure maps can be obtained from other people, shops. Dungeons/temples (So they give you a hint on the item you need), and as rewards.

So to better imagine this.. lets say you reach a dungeon/temple that requires Mostly bow arrows to complete. As you progress through the dungeon. you find that you can’t progress anymore, stumbling through the dungeon/temple. you find a compass, map, and this time No Item. But an Item MAP. (ONLY in specific dungeons/temple though because it would make things less linear, harder, and you would have to actually THINK when playing a game. NPC’s will give you hints when talking to NPC’s native to the dungeon/temple area. hints will be given, but you have to put in effort.)
The map Doesn’t tell you what item yet. but it gives you a hint of what it is (this item is good with long range attacks) and give you a location with an “X” and a small riddle of how to obtain the items when you get there, which includes either fight a mini boss./ guardian, solving a puzzle, Running an errand for exchange. resolving a conflict, and other dilemmas. You will then have to leave the dungeon and make your way across hyrule to the “X” which could be in a forest, on/in a mountain, in a town, or any other place of secrecy where treasure is hidden. after reaching the destination, you will have to commence getting the treasure by whatever the means are that I previously stated. after obtaining the treasure, you return to the temple you left, to further proceed.

Treasure items can be received before starting a dungeon if you wished.
Some dungeons/temples will not provide the treasure map, meaning the treasure map should be somewhere along the way before entering the dungeon, such as in a town, held by a strange character, or special enemy, or obtained in an important side quest.
Some dungeons/temples will not allow access until you receive specific treasure items first in order to get into the dungeon. however, Every dungeon can be completed in any order ( if you’re a type of person who finds the treasures without the hints or maps or cheats by looking online for treasure locations) which would be cool if all treasure locations would randomize per new game started. but if you stumble across a hidden item accidentally. then good for you, that makes one dungeon/temple one step easier to complete.

If the new Hyrule will be as large as Aonuma says it would be. then it will make this idea much more awesome in my Opinion. I like games that actually make you work for things and takes time to complete.

I like the direction this game is taking…. =w=
