  1. Maybe have multiple characters to play as? Think of it like Batman Arkham City, you play as Batman (Link) the whole game, but in some sections, you can control Catwoman (Sheik) and it corresponds with the story. Who knows, maybe fit in some Ganon parts also.

    Assuming Sheik isn’t DLC.

    lol

    1. If they were to do that, id prefer Zelda/Sheik too be a constant character you can play as, like a very elaborate item, same way those statues you possess in Wind Waker, you can go to 2 different parts of a dungeon, to solve crazy puzzles, give Sheik more mobility, climbing ect and the bow and other items. Could play into enemy design too, like those statue dudes that shoot lasers, have Link block with his shield, then control Zelda to hit it in the back or something.

      1. We definitely need a good game where you contol Zelda, right now we only have those abominations on that video game console that we shall not speak of, but it’s made by Philips.

      2. Two questions…

        1. Why do you always have such terrible ideas?

        2. Why are you constantly flip flopping whit your opinions?

        1. 1. Sorry, Zelda should just follow him around being useless and invisible to terrible enemy AI, while provide boring dialogue that’s “good”, serving no reason to add anything to the game other than give morons the impression of good writing.

          2. Im pretty consistant.

          1. You’re pretty “consistant”?

            Oh god… You’re “consistant”? Really?

            Let’s take a look at how “consistant” (have I driven your spelling error into your anemic hipster brain yet?) you are!

            1. Earlier this year you said this about BioShock Infinite:

            “Ironically we did get a 10/10 the other day with Bioshock Infinite, that game, once again, has redifined the first person shooter genre, as well as story telling in video games and creating a world thats believable, and themes better than any other game to date, with a NPC AI that is unmatched, which compliments all of those things.”

            Now you see the game as mediocre.

            2. Last year, i could have swore you hated GTA with every fiber of your being and swore you would never play another agme in the series. Than this year you called GTA V “very good”.

            I could probably find several more examples of your inconsistency (it’s spelled with an “e” genius).

            1. Oh dear, i spelt a word wrong, how dreadful.

              Bioshock WAS a great game until you play more of it and it falls apart and is just fine, nothing more, story is garage, AI is still pretty good, but it’s not 10/10, and i admit that, the issue is when people still think it’s 10/10.
              The first 3 hours of Bioshock Infinite are amazing but it falls apart after that.

              As for GTAV, ive stated how i didn’t like other GTA’s….how does that make me flip flop when GTAV wasn’t even out yet?
              GTAV is good, it’s fun…until you beat it, then it’s boring.

              1. “GTAV is good, it’s fun…until you beat it, then it’s boring.”
                :0 NO WAY, REALLY??!!!!

                This is the case with a ton of games, Nintendo games as well. Zelda doesn’t have any more replay value than GTA. In fact, it has less. In GTA there’s still a shitload to do after you beat it, this is not the case with Zelda. Story is done = game is done, which is okay, since you don’t buy the game for the stuff you can do after you finish it, but what you have to do in order to finish it.

            2. Also, you need to get a life if you’re actually going through 6 month old comment sections to copy and paste what i say, it’s sad.

              1. You of all people telling ANOTHER MAN you don’t even know outside this site?! That’s hilarious, Tom Chick jr.

                Go play The Whack Ass 101 Flop or something hipster faggot.

                1. Seriously? Insulting Wonderful 101…because it didn’t sell?

                  Pretty sure if you ask anyone who actually knows what a good game is and say “What do you think of Platinum Games and Hideki Kamiya?”, they’d go off on a huge rant about how good they are.
                  I mean, come on, seriously, the developers of Bayonetta and Vanquish, and the brains behind games like Resident Evil 2, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Devil May Cry, and you want to insult that game?

                  Fuck it, if playing a good , no, amazing game, and respecting an amazing developer, rather than agreeing with a bunch of morons who play nothing but games like COD, FIFA and GTA, makes me a hipster, i don’t give a fuck.

                  1. Okmai is phenomenal. Viewtiful Joe, Devil May Cry, Resident Evil 2, Vanquish are great.

                    The Whack Ass 101 Flop and Bayonetta on the other hand are mindless games for degenerates full of weeaboo faggotry.

                    By the way, I would be the one to agree with the putrid cunts who are considered “professional reviewers” whom I believe you are alluding to when you say, “morons who play nothing but games like COD, FIFA and GTA”.

                    1. “the 2 exclusives to nintendo are mindless game for degenerates full of weeabo faggotry” just fuck you, and yet you say, you ar subjective and shit like you not are a mindless drone and shit like that, your hate to nintendo is so obvious, that it’s just, boring

                    2. “Devil May Cry, Resident Evil 2, Vanquish are great”

                      What a massive understatement.

                      I supposed Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta would be better if they were on the PS4, right?

                      Get over yourself, you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about, and have absolutely no credibility because you use absurd words like “faggot” and “weeaboo”.

                      You’re a joke, mate.

                    3. The original Bayonetta was on PS3/Xbox360. I gave the game a chance, believe I did. And oh god did that game ever suck ass.

                      As for The Whack Ass 101 Flop. It could be on anyone platform and it would still suck ass. That wretched broken, mess of a game could be most I’ve played in many year. And i mean mean THE VERY FUCKING WORST.

                  2. Im sorry but Im going to have to disagree on the whole W101 argument , I owned that game for one day and hated the controls so much I returned it to pick up Pikmin 3. I liked the potential the game held and was psyched to see it released only to play it and be majorly disappointed by frustrating controls. Okami is easily one of my top 5 favorite games by the way. W101 just wasn’t that wonderful.

            3. Also, anaemic (that’s the correct spelling by the way) brain?

              What, so i have dizziness and fatigue? I need more iron, where exactly was the insult? Anaemia doesn’t make people stupid, if that’s the insult you were desperately grabbing for.

              1. Actually, it is spelled anemic more commonly than the way you spelled it, but both are acceptable. I had to do a quick google search to be sure, but yep.

            4. Guys I don’t think Eiji Aonuma would appreciate all of this arguing!! Lets talk about possibilities for this next game. I can’t see a lot of hardcore fans agreeing with me here, but I would like to see an elaboration on the conversation choice system implemented with skyward sword as well as some voice acting!

    2. What if every Temple only the chose Sage could enter and he/she would have to complete it to get the Item at the end for Link? For example the Fire Temple you play as a Goron. Water Temple your a Zora, Light Temple you play as Zelda, Forest Temple your a Deku Sprout so forth?

    3. fuck off, that’s not how the game should be. at most you should be able to play an different version of link (like twilight princess) playing as sheik zelda or ganon doesn’t fit the genre and is an terrible idea

      1. Okay fine, whatever, have Zelda stay the same. You know what, you go fuck off. I’m stating my fucking opinion, don’t tell me to fuck off you fucking inbred Nintendo fanboy.

    1. Yep A Link Between Worlds is a handheld game that feels like a console experience. I can’t wait for my second play through on hero mode.

      Aonuma surprised us all with this game.

  2. He needs to make sure it surpasses Ocarina of Time, put some Online/Local multiplayer in there! Maybe a simple dungeon builder too!

      1. he could easily pass it if they just didnt try to be like OOT (TP, it feels unoriginal) and SS wtf were they thinking!!!!

        MM was awesome, why not do something different again. everything after WW kinda feels lame in the zelda series. the ds ones are nothing special. how is albtw??

          1. He’s probably a bigger Nintendo fan than most fans on this site, he just lost his shit with Nintendo daisy-chaining one fucked up mistake after another. I don’t always agree with him, but I don’t think he’s a troll. Just a very pissed off, disappointed Nintendo gamer.

        1. i differ, apart from the linearity, Skyward, got the one of the best dungeons, best bosses, best gameplay around the franchise, it just the haters saying “omg i dont like the wiimote is just a gimmick”

          1. ok, SS just sucked all around. MM and TP had the best and most diverse dungeons. SS were small, it had one good temple and that was the water zombie level. it had no towns, no side quests or side levels. no character development. SS was a mess and is shit all together.

            1. mmm still differ, SS didn’t sucked all around, i enjoyed from the first minute to the last, there were many awesome temples, maybe shorts bot not bad, the one with the time sphere were you can covert a part of the dungeon to the past was awesome, i know it got not towns, it got a lost side quests, and character development, omg, this is the first time since Kafei, that someone else got like a “spot” on this franchise, im talking about Groose, maybe you didn’t like them, but not far they were bad

              1. and may I add that Girahim was a boss that got my blood going besids Ganondorf and the dark nauts. No other enemy actually got me going for more that those three. Not even Helmasuar king, domong, lizard man, bongo bongo, Onox, Veran, hell not even the dead hand or shadow link got me wanting more from the fights and kept it fun too. If you think its shit all around, then you need to replay all the zeldas…no scratch that…Nintendo altogether.

                http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcs5vyOS1Lg

                Just listen to the darkness…You know you want too…its only a matter of time before your puny brain and spirit falls to the dark side which is Nintendo…you can’t escape the reality of being a gamer. Once a true gamer always a true gamer…no matter how you hate other systems…the truth will always prevail and you will be exposed to who you truly are, a gamer who plays all. ADMIT IT ZEAMA, your one of us…a real gamer who plays all of them if can.

            2. Say what you will but no character development? Do you know anything, like, at all???????? That was the Zelda game with the LARGEST character development. Link goes from being a lazy school student to a HERO, Zelda goes from a peaceful girl to a goddess who realizes she has large responsibilities, Ghirahim is one of the BEST villains the series has ever seen and Groose, fucking GROOSE, the guy goes from being an asshole everyone hates to one cool motherfucker. I felt the development in every inch of my bone, so don’t you sit there and bash Skyward Sword for “character development”. Go ahead and bash it for whatever else you found “sub-par” (even though I think the game ROCKS and is one of my all time favorite Zeldas) but don’t try and bash the character development when it’s the strongest the series has EVER seen.

        2. ALBW is NOTHING like previous DS Zelda’s. It blows away any handheld Zelda and rivals a few of the console versions.

          1. yeah maybe they will make a turn around. ST i thought was better than SS. thats probably because everyone says it sucks so i though it was going to be worse, also st has really good music and some clever stuff to it, but the ds ones arnt anything special. maybe ill give this game a try. everybody says its actually making good change.

        3. TP is about the same as Link Between Worlds in terms of being familiar with a previous game.

          It’s slightly connected to Ocarina…that’s it. The only similarity is that it’s the same structure as OOT, which is that there’s a place called Hyrule Field, and you have a horse.
          In fact, fuck it, TP is about connected to OOT as every other Zelda is. Everyone just has, as usual, insane nostalgia of OOT, and people are never happy with anything they get.

          1. I love Midna, and the dark feel of TP all together. There are a few of us that did love that game.

            I’m a huge werewolf fan, so TP was pretty much amazing for me.

            1. Everyone will love it when people stop getting Wind Waker’s dick.

              Same cycle with people and Zelda games.

              Frankly Wind Waker is one of the most disappointing Zelda games in terms of gameplay and content .

          2. haha no, i actually really want to play TP again. on the gamecube though…… its a good game i just felt it was sorta linear, with absolutely nothing to do on the side. open fields, still nothing to do, take forever to go threw every time and gets repetitive. go back to the barn place after every level. lame. SS though is literally shit. it felt lame compared to MM and WW, it felt like it was trying to be to much OOT, so it felt dull to me.

            its still great though, the levels music environments. i just need the gamecube version because i remember it was way better because the controls actual work!!!! actually i just got four swords for 15$, TP is better than that i think.

        4. Ignoring you can’t name 3 games where the main character changes intoa wolf at ttwilightwhile everyone else turns into souls. And is kick ass with Wiimote.

      2. I mean in the way it blow people’s minds when it first came out, I don’t think we’ve had a game come very close to that besides maybe Mario Galaxy.

    1. Me and my momma are gonna eat pancakes while we are palying knack and eating snacks on Ps4, i will get it from santaclaus. You are stupid nintendrones, im a big boy. Fuck shit bitch fag, yeah i can write it, you fags arent tough guys to write em. IM a BIG BOY! I have every comment from 2011-2013 documented from this site, i know the facts.

    2. Multiplayer in Zelda? Other then stuff like fighting a Dark Link character that represents your friends or what not NO THANKS. Zelda should ALWAYS ONLY be a Single Player game.

  3. Wait which upcoming LoZ? Zelda U? If so, and online co-op, and open world. I downloaded a N64 emulator and played some of OoT and Majoras Mask. Liked OoT more.

    1. What is peoples obsession with online multiplayer? If there is any game that absolutely does not need it, is Zelda.

      1. I don’t get it either. I don’t even know how online would work in Zelda. Not to mention, there are already so many online games that finding a game that’s strictly single-player is rarer than hen’s teeth.

      2. I know lol…zelda is a game,where U go on an adventure….not you and someone else….what are you going to do share faries with each other and ride horses together??? online would be the END to Zelda.

        1. Hahahahahhahaha!

          Yes they are!

          “If they were to do that, id prefer Zelda/Sheik too be a constant character you can play as, like a very elaborate item, same way those statues you possess in Wind Waker, you can go to 2 different parts of a dungeon, to solve crazy puzzles, give Sheik more mobility, climbing ect and the bow and other items. Could play into enemy design too, like those statue dudes that shoot lasers, have Link block with his shield, then control Zelda to hit it in the back or something”\

          lmao

          1. Yes, i’ve seen your copy and paste skills, well done *clap clap*

            Again, why is it “a terrible idea”?

            “Haha so stupid, who wants levels in Zelda that are completely different due to new mechanics that a second character would bring, and gameplay that’s entirely designed around that, creating something new and interesting and challenging in a way that we’re not familiar with. What’s next, Link has merge into walls?”

            You’re a moron.

            1. people crave for a game where you use zelda instead of link, and this fucker is here telling you you are and idiot, for wanting a combination of those things

              1. Trust me, he’s an idiot for more reasons than that.
                It’s insulting that he has a Shadow of the Colossus avatar (from what i can tell)

                1. I’m an idiot? Coming from you, Pancake lol.

                  Also, yes my avatar is from Shadow of the Colossus. It’s Argus the Fifteenth colossi. I like your avatar too… What is it exactly lmao?

                  1. Wow…that was some desperation…
                    “Ha, look at this guy with his default avatar”

                    I’m not even going to insult you back, you’ve done enough damage to yourself.

                    1. Oh Pancake, Pancake, Pancake…

                      I’m sure controlling a group of colorful little men in The Whack Ass 101 Flop would cheer you up!

                    2. Me and my momma are gonna eat pancakes while we are palying knack and eating snacks on Ps4, i will get it from santaclaus. You are stupid nintendrones, im a big boy. Fuck shit bitch fag, yeah i can write it, you fags arent tough guys to write em. IM a BIG BOY! I have every comment from 2011-2013 documented from this site, i know the facts.

  4. A vast, massive, sandbox, open world; upgradeable gear; a story that is amazing enough to make you feel: happy, sad, scared, excited, thrilled, intrigued, desperate for more. Give the game and storyline the maturity it deserves; and add hyper-realistic graphics/art style to shut the fuck up all the haters; challenging dungeons; “gives-me-headaches” puzzels; give characters a deep personality (voice acting could work…. But not for Link, Link is just perfect with just screaming, lol); full use of the Gamepad (not just gadgets, items, inventory, maps; NO, puzzle solving, inmersive mechanics, etc…)…. If they manage to do all that, then, we’ll have the perfect video game… They’ll even call it “THE VIDEO GAME”, it’s not just a game, it’s “THE GAME”.

    1. i was just thinking about how the gamepad could work and i was thinking what if the screen allowed you to use your navi for different things like to get an overhead view of a puzzle while you solve it

      1. I like it! Kinda like how I used the beetle in Skyward Sword. I always got an sky view of things when entering a dungeon.

    2. ” Give the game and storyline the maturity it deserves”

      What does that even mean?
      “Mature” storylines are always called mature storylines because they have sex, drugs and violence in them…
      There’s absolutely nothing a “mature” undertone would bring significant to the series.
      Nintendo can, and probably will do the better thing, and just make it a good story in the way Disney do. There’s nothing “mature” about Disney, yet they can make grown men cry.

      Stop with this “mature” bullshit whenever people talk about Zelda, it’s stupid. “Lets take all the charm out of this game”, how about NO

      1. Mature doesn’t have mean sex and drugs. And I don’t think that is what he meant by mature. If he did then I am mistaken, but I think he meant visually. And perhaps the fighting as well.

        1. Not just visually and the fighting. I mean, the whole plot of the game. Put it this way, although it always delivers, Zelda games’ essence is “Save Hyrule from the evil guy and rescue the princess”. Yeah, as you keep progressing, the story adds more and more to it and in the end you just didn’t save Hyrule by getting rid of the bad guy, but also for all the things you did for some characters (whether they’re part of the plot or just side quests). But making the story ‘mature’ is giving it an inner and deeper meaning to characters feelings. Not just for the good characters, but the bad guys aswell. Give the plot the twists, unexpected and dramatic events (think about “The Odyssey”) that make you think “Man… This ain’t for kids!”. Or think about The Dark Knight trilogy: yeah, it’s Batman; yeah, MILLIONS of kids love Batman… But those movies are not for kids. You get my point?

      2. Majoras Mask had a very mature storyline involving death, depression, and solitude, very dark themes. It doesnt need to be bloody and involve sex, this is nintendo were talking about, if anyone can make it work, its nintendo.

  5. A vast, massive, sandbox, open world; upgradeable gear; a story that is amazing enough to make you feel: happy, sad, scared, excited, thrilled, intrigued, desperate for more. Give the game and storyline the maturity it deserves; and add hyper-realistic graphics/art style to shut the fuck up all the haters; challenging dungeons; “gives-me-headaches” puzzles; give characters a deep personality (voice acting could work…. But not for Link, Link is just perfect with just screaming, lol); full use of the Gamepad (not just gadgets, items, inventory, maps; NO, puzzle solving, inmersive mechanics, etc…)…. If they manage to do all that, then, we’ll have the perfect video game… They’ll even call it “THE VIDEO GAME”, it’s not just a game, it’s “THE GAME”.

      1. Because Skyward Sword had a massive open-world, an emotional story, quality voice work, GamePad functionality, right?

        You’re a clown lol!

        1. every sandbox neeeds to be massive if not, is just a waste, this is the first time zelda is not just a random princess that you just got to rescues for i don’t know fucking reasons why, this time, is your childhood friendship and confident, and gamepad translates to the Wiimote being like you would call it “the gimmick” of the wii

  6. He’s talking about a link between worlds. Those guides have been printed for a while and he’s right that game is amazing

  7. I’m probably alone on this one, but the new Zelda would be 11/10 if it was like Skyward Sword (the gameplay and an awesome story) with a huge overworld, bigger than Twilight Princess’, more sidequests, more dungeons, and the freedom that A Link Between Worlds has.

  8. Well, the fan expectations have been lowered after that disaster Skyward Sword so….

    Either ways, I would really like to see another top down Zelda. Nintendo needs more old school style games, because let’s be honest they suck dick at developing modern games. Actually, to hell with it. I just want Zelda to die before they really fuck the series up.

    1. A Link between worlds shows it’s quite alive. It’s got the top down you mentioned.

      If they used the interface and components from ALBW, build a larger world and a game clocking 3x as long, I would probably be happy with a classic top-down WiiU Zelda.

      1. The series is on fucking life-support (just like the Wii U). After this next Zelda on Wii U whether it be an abysmal flop (most likely) or a smashing success (yeah right), the series should be put to rest.

        1. yeah man, my interest in zelda has been not even there. after SShit and TP not being as good as i wanted too than the ds ones that dont do much, i feel bored with the series. i feel like the wii u one is their last chance and then i really consider it dead. they have to do something exciting again and fresh. nintendo seems to play everything safe now, so i hope they actually take some fucking risks with it.
          my only hope for the disaster that is known as the wii u is x and im not trying to be hyped because i dont want to be disappointed if its not what it promises. do i really expect to play and rpg a good as xenoblade again?? some people say its a heavy multiplayer focus, wtf is this now supposed to be monster hunter?? its like dont ruin it.

        2. LOL you refuse to acknowledge the fact that you’re wrong and that there is a top down Zelda game with initials ALBW ’cause you’re too embarrassed

  9. One thing that’d be awesome is if they combined hero mode w/ master quest mode + being able to adventure with your town clothes on

  10. I always thought, that playing a part with Zelda could be so great. Imagine Skyward sward, when zelda got lost with impa, and link alone, and they were separated. if the game actually had at first a part where you play as link, and then you do the same dungeons and everything with zelda with impa helping you. Zelda aint weak, she had a bow and harp, they could have thought of something. But for sure adding gameplay as Zelda could surprise fans. It’s like adding peach in mario 3d world surprised mario fans :)

    1. @Rob I Love that they added Peach in that game i loved seeing what see looked like in all the different power ups and well she’s my favorite princess in the Mario universe so getting a chance to play as her (in something other than Mario Party the sports games and Mario kart) was a welcome and awesome surprise :) and i hope we get more chances to play with her in Mario games in the future, now i’m not saying i want (or hope the “damsel in distress” trope will go away completely for Mario games (since i know it’s highly likely always gonna be their) and well i don’t really want it to change either, but if maybe just once in awhile we’d get to play as her in something other than the spin off games well that’d be really awesome :)

      1. @Rob sorry for the off topic paragraph xD just since you mentioned peach being added in Super Mario 3D World i thought i’d just give my 2 cents on her being in it and what i hope for her being playable in mario games in the future again sorry xD

    1. Zelda 2 is great. Interesting RPG elements, very tough challenge. Wouldn’t expect a new school gamer like yourself to understand the game though lol.

      1. Skyward Sword makes the Phillips games look like timeless classics.

        By the way, I think I’m going to leave this lame ass site for good and I suggest you do the same. I’m done with these motherfuckers

          1. Me and my momma are gonna eat pancakes while we are palying knack and eating snacks on Ps4, i will get it from santaclaus. You are stupid nintendrones, im a big boy. Fuck shit bitch fag, yeah i can write it, you fags arent tough guys to write em. IM a BIG BOY! I have every comment from 2011-2013 documented from this site, i know the facts.

        1. literally are these the worst nintendo fanboys you have seen ever?? if not fanboys of any kind general. there is a few people that are normal here but its just so outnumbered half of these people need to get there head checked for being deeply overly attached to a product and need meds for being psychopaths. there is no talking sense into them or if you have an opinion, or most likely saying fact on how iwata and reggie suck, or that ninteno needs to stop making shitty gimmicks and just create new and exiting games within the game and not just add a touchscreen and say “ohhh new game when its literally identical now from the last ones. its like they should of bought atlus ands ome of thq or bought more games with all that money but they keep on repeating the same bullshit and if you say any of it, its like you dont get an opinion because the nintensheep are such babies and cry while damage controlling

          1. wow, you two…the worst trolls I’ve ever seen. You guys try and nothing exciting happens man, I doubt your even worth my time to even retroll you anymore zeama, you made me lost hope in you guys. Specially you Zeama, I loved trolling you, now your not even worth it anymore.

        2. BTW, please leave this site for good, it’ll make the website have less vulgar and babyish comments, thank you very much

  11. 1) No guides. Just have NPC and story gives us clues

    2) I prefer cartoon over realism but we have had more cartoon ones recently so i can´t demand another one

    3) Voice acting for all but Link

    4) Big and interesting overworld, not just a pointless huge field ala TP

    5) Towns for all, humans and other races (why did the land races in SS not have towns or villages?)

    6) No ghost towns (how did the creators of TP think that their version of Kakariko was even acceptable after Clock town and Windfall island)

    7) No locked doors like in TP

    8) Be able to talk with all NPC (What´s wrong with you TP)

    9) Keep Links agility from SS

    10) Upgradable weapons

    11) Lot´s of side quests and mini games

    12) No invisible barriers, have you able to visit at least 50% of the map from the go.

    Probably something else

    1. Those are actually some great ideas. Very surprising coming from a Nintendo fagboy like yourself. I thought you would have said, “ZELDA IS PERFECT ALREADY THOUGH!!!” (resumes sucking Iwata’s dick).

      1. Do you know me? I don´t think i have made more than 5-10 comments on this site so far.

        Why do you call me Nintendo fagboy? I like Mario yes and i think the Gamepad is nice.
        However i know that Wii U does not stand a chance this generation, i just hope it survives. Wii U and Wii are fine for people like me. I am 32 years old so i can´t spend to much time playing videogames so getting 2-3 games a year works fine for me.
        If i wanted my game console to become the 1# source for entertainment in my home then i would probably by PS4 and i would have been so pissed at my Wii and it´s lack of good games.

        Zelda is not perfect, every 3D Zelda has had some serious shortcomings after MM. WW had to many small islands, only 5-6 dungeons, padding and was too easy. TP was Oot remake, too slow, too empty, kinda boring. SS had no towns, horrible sky overworld, filler quests (repeated bosses, entering the same dungeon twice and that swimming after notes thing) and the awful Fi.

    2. Me and my momma are gonna eat pancakes while we are palying knack and eating snacks on Ps4, i will get it from santaclaus. You are stupid nintendrones, im a big boy. Fuck shit bitch fag, yeah i can write it, you fags arent tough guys to write em. IM a BIG BOY! I have every comment from 2011-2013 documented from this site, i know the facts.

  12. I meant to write 70% of the map

    13) If you have full access from the beginning then make the places change over as you progress so player won´t spend their first days just exloring everyting with then nothing left to see after they begin their quest

      1. Haven´t played Skyrim really.

        Just make sure that you can´t go and explore the whole world before you enter the first dungeon but also don´t have invisible barriers (TP) or a guide that stops you (WW). Just have some places that you can´t reach until you get an certain item or finish some quest.

      1. Yes, you’re a big boy, now go to sleep, little Timmy, mama will make you jam bread tomorrow for breakfast, you favourite food!

    2. Congratulations for the great idea!!! you win a seaming pile of shit! It will fit nicely in your head WERE your brain was supposed to be, because ALL OF YOUR IDEAS ARE SHITTY!!

      1. Or… Maybe the other way! What about if Link dies in the last battle? It’s a cliché, I know, but it’s something that has never happened to any of the games in the whole saga: the hero, facing an enemy who’s beyond his power, gets severely injured in the last battle, a wound so deep and big that kills him. But yet, he manages to save the realm and brings the evil guy down aswell.

  13. Add Zelda, and I mean Zelda, not sheik, as a Character that you can switch to. Dungeons would have to be designed with this mechanic of switching. Link gets items to use, Zelda leans Magic. So imagine Zelda learns a Tornado Spell, Link gets Bombs. with these in combination you use Zelda to lay down a Tornado, and throw a bomb into it to lift it up.

    When you are not in direct control of the other character. you can use touch screen to give them orders.

    1. Better yet. it is a Trine situation. Link and Zelda are trapped in an item and only one of them can come out at a time. so you switch to Zelda, Link is then in the item.

      For her combat ability. She would handle the same. a Magic shield for defense, fire slashes for melee.

  14. I LIKE THE IDEA OF LINK/ZELDA GAMEPLAY JUST LIKE ARKHAM CITY. BUT TO MAKE THAT IT TAKES TIME AND A BIG DEV TEAM. ALSO I DONT SEE NINTY DOING THAT SINCE THEY ARE USE TO MAKE BASIC AND OUTDATED GAMEPLAY.

    1. HHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHHHAHAHAAH!!!!! exactly what your last sentence said!!!! mario mario, zelda, scrape ideas, squeeze marios nipples some more. mario in pain, iwata squeezing marios nipples harder. thats pretty much the last generation of nintendo. maybe give luigi a year, so they can give marios blubber nuggets a rest so they can produce more milk.

      1. LMAO.
        BUT SERIOUSLY IM NOT TROLLING JUST BEING HONEST I REALLY DONT SEE JAPANESE DEVS HAVING BIG IDEAS LIKE ARKHAM CITY. THEY LIKE DEVELOPING EASY STUFF W SAME FORMULA.
        JUST THINK ABOUT IT. WE ARE IN 2013 AND THEY REFUSE TO HAVE ONLINE MULTIPLAYER JUST BECAUSE SHIGGY THINKS ITS FUN TO PLAY W PPL AROUND U. BITCH PLEASE LIKE IF I HAVE FRIENDS TO PLAY.

        1. actually from playing mario 3D world online is doable, but…knowing my friends they will speed run to flag pole and get me killed. However I have controll over that, but online…I can’t hit my friend to make him stop.

  15. He’s not going to exceed expectations for 2 simple reasons:
    1) He’ll never make a big enough game with the scale we like to imagine Zelda having.
    2) Not enough fans will be happy with his choice to avoid realism.

    1. How do you know? We know nothing about the game. He could be working with Bethesda right now and we wouldn’t know it lol! Also, I wan’t LoZ to be realistic. BRING BACK TWILIGHT ART STYLE!

    1. Wasn’t a fan of asylum but city was good, but orgins sucks ass, cool little story and some cool bosses but it overall wasn’t that great.

  17. beyond expectations huh. we’ll see about that. hopefully the game remedies all the complaints of past zelda games. and no more of that cell shaded nonsense.

    1. I doubt it will be cel-shaded. They should go back to “dark” Zelda and make it look like Twilight Princess only…in HD.

  18. We should be able to switch between Link and Zelda! and Zelda should be able to turn into Sheik. They should also add playable Gorons and Zoras.

    An interesting way to do this would have Link and Zelda go on a quest together, but then they find dolls of a Goron and Zora in two different dungeons and when you activate the dolls they magically turn into larger versions of themselves which you can control like a puppet to complete tasks that you wouldn’t be able to in a specific area or dungeon. It is like a different take on the Majora’s Mask transformations, just without the masks.

    I would also like to see some cameos AT LEAST of Navi, Midna, etc. I would love it if we could venture back into the Twilight Realm and see it how it should look when it is all happy.

    I really hope the bosses in the next game are insane. The creatures should be larger than life and require more than just the dungeon’s “signature weapon” to take them down.

  19. I think after ALBW, the Zelda team are on a creative high. They’ll take the same philosophy of “rethinking conventions” and use it for the Wii U Zelda. I honestly can’t wait. I feel like we may have another masterpiece on the horizon.

  20. I think that the next game should be two players, and maybe a new story that hasn’t been used in the other games like link turning into dark link at a certain point in the game,traveling into the future, combining all the games in one or just the popular ones. Having a new selection of characters available to play as after certain quests or for the plot, maybe even having the players create themselves in the game to accompany link in the story line or as extra at the end. Maybe not letting the game end completely by having new missions.

  21. One thing I think all of you Zelda “fans” need to do is not be so pretentious. Just because you enjoyed one game more than another doesn’t make that one game you liked the most the best, nor does it make other games bad or inferior in the series. What makes Zelda so great is that we get ignorant haters who think that each game is the same thing and bash it for such when they haven’t even played most of the games (or any) because this genre isn’t their type, but in reality all of the games are very distinct from each other. Whether it be the console, the perspective, the controls, the art style, the story, the characters, the setting, and probably more than I can think of, each game stands out on its own. There are people here saying some really really pretentious and ignorant shit. To say something like “Ocarina of Time hasn’t aged well” is pretty ridiculous in my opinion. I can go play OoT any time and still enjoy it as much as the first time I played it (even if the boss fights are child’s play after the first playthrough) and I will enjoy the experience more than most games that come out today. It’s not because of my bias towards Zelda or because of any nostalgia either. The 3DS remake with Master Quest proved that the game will have more longevity than any game from it’s console aside from some of the multiplayer games. And you know what? OoT is not my favorite Zelda. My favorite is Skyward Sword, and I will stand by that opinion till I die. I also think Majora’s Mask is absolutely purely, dark, twisted genius. I don’t understand why you would even waste time bashing Skyward Sword. ALL OF THE FOLLOWING IN MY OPINION: It is arguably (actually in my opinion definitely) the best motion control oriented game to date, the boss fights other than the accursed three times you need to fight the imprisoned are ALL top notch and some of the best in the series. Girahim and Demise are better boss fights than any other final bosses in the series in my opinion, Girahim is second only to Skull Kid as the primary antagonist in terms of character presentation, to date this is the only Zelda title in which Zelda feels like a real person and you care about saving her, the dungeons are great, I personally thought the music in the game was second only to Oot and MM. I did not have any issues with the sidequests. People complaining that it’s only fetch quests are wrong because A) there are some things to do like refight the bosses via the thunder dragon that are clearly not fetch quests B) most side quests in the Zelda franchise are indeed fetch quests, so to pinpoint one game as having it as a fault to me is just nonsense talk. Skyward Sword is my favorite game of all time. Does that mean it has to be yours? No. I don’t care if you like it or not. Just bashing it because it wasn’t your favorite is pointless. One of my least favorite Zeldas is Wind Waker. It boils down to there was a lot of hype from other people I know that said that game was hands down the best Zelda, and when I went to play it I just didn’t have the fun I thought I would have. Do I appreciate the game though? Of course. It was just shitty to learn that most of these people had never played another Zelda title and then when Twilight Princess came out they all hated it for it not being Wind Waker which again is stupid. The Legend of Zelda doesn’t have a set timeline in my opinion. Each game to me is just someone else’s interpretation of the legend, and to me that’s what makes the series so cool. Maybe some guy on an island somewhere is telling people the story of Wind Waker. But someone in the woods somewhere learned the story as OoT, so that’s how they think the legend went. This is why there will never be a game that is most commonly agreed as the best game other than OoT. OoT gave us the Zelda story at it’s most basic and easy to understand level. Do I have high expectations for the next title? Yes. And I’m sure they won’t disappoint. I’m glad it’s not up to some of you fans, and that it’s in hands of those that have been making these great games for over two decades.

  22. You need either a multiplayer campain mode and Good graphics like Oot styles or TP, the game should be descently dark Nintendo has been making way to much child friendly games…like really childish. Thank you this is just my opinion.

  23. since a lot of fans agree that oot was the best one. hopefully it draws a lot of inspiration from it. but not so much that it holds itself back like twilight princess did trying to be like oot

  24. I feel like having Zelda as the actual hero, would be pretty cool! That’s something what I would call unique! StrongER puzzles, StrongER enemies, and to be able to use a lot of the items, like the game of Okami, it uses all the powers it has, because to be honest, it bothers me having an item from the dungeon, done using it, never using it again. I’d like for you guys to remove that problem. That’s all I have to say.

  26. Not a chance he’ll do that having already decided on an kiddie style again. Can’t exceed expectations when you ignore majority opinions. Don’t get me wrong I loved Windwaker, but no one asked for it, and no one will have asked for what ever they are cooking up now. And it will be cheap and simplistic and avoid all the things that deny every Zelda title from being true Triple A titles.

  27. I WAS FROZEN TODAY! sry just had to say that i can not wait for the next Legend of Zelda Game i wonder which time line it will be in? Fallen Hero, Adult Link, or Child link but (unless in child) we will not be seeing Ganon any time soon.

    FYI if you don’t know what i’m talking about go to this

  28. The events of the recent weeks has got me thinking, even if they made the best Zelda game yet, it wouldn’t matter. We’re talking the best Mario game since the original Galaxy, and it didn’t make a noticeable dent.

    Gaming culture has become irrevocably fucked up, and no amount of quality will fix it. All one can hope for is for trends to change, and for people to wake up from their sheepdom.
