Reading SuperSmashBro1's thread about which Link should be in the next Zelda game reminded me of an april fool's day joke i saw on a wii fansite. i really wish i could remember the name of it, but i was wondering, do you think giving Link and the whole Zelda universe a futristic look would work? i personally think it would be cool to see how nintendo could do that

Meh, I would be skeptic about it, but it could work.

as long as it stays to its roots and expands the story on a epic level with fresh ideas, it can work

If it maintained the Zelda experience and expands upon it, then I'm all for it.

Honestly, I'd totally buy it. Hell, they could make it totally unoriginal, as in, too similar to other zeldas, but in a future setting, and I'd still have fun noting all the minor differences caused by the setting change, lol.

I would buy in an instant, even though I would be skeptical that they could pull it off. But I doubt it would ever happen.

I think what people maybe don't realize is that Windwaker was already futuristic. It took place in the future relative to the other games. Ergo futuristic. See? &^)

As long as gameplay wise it sticks to what makes zelda...zelda. Sure. Though I'd much rather have an old west zelda instead.

There is a futuristic Zelda and its doing great....its called Metroids. The only differnces are they are from a differnt POV the heroes use a different main weapons and they have different goals. But gameplay at the most basic level are the same and even the power ups are similar

I'd absolutely hate it if they'd do that. For me, the main strength of Zelda is the early medieval and mythical setting. The breathtaking nature, the mysterious castle towns - it's what defines the franchise. That's not to say a Zelda in a futuristic setting couldn't technically be a good game, but for me, it just wouldn't be Zelda. It's the same idea of modelling Mario after a realistic world like in GTA, it just doesn't compute.

It'd be cool, but for this I must call Nintendo out on their strongest/weakest point. They enjoy beating a dead horse, but if it works, it works. I mean, I know I sound pessimistic, but I doubt they'd ever do it. But it'd be pretty cool to see zelda in like a Metroid level of futuristic conflict.

Futuristic can mean many things. Do you mean like.. tall grey skyscrapers and a polluted yet technological world. or a more simple, yet clean and automated world.

Either way i think nintendo could put a nice spin on it. Wind Waker was in fact a futuristic Zelda game... taking place many generations after the others, but its not "sci-fi" like some might have liked. but whatever. Zelda is great franchise... just improve character development and add more story to it, and the games would be even better. (bring back elemental arrows ;))

ya it depends on wat u mean by futuristic, i think a clean, futuristic world like the ones in ratchet in clank or star wars would suck, now if we talked something darker, like a polluted, mechanical city set near the apocalypse ruled by Ganondroid, then that would sound awesome.

NO!

Sci-fi Zelda=fail

Zelda is popular because it is the greatest midevel gaming franchise out there. If they took away the midevel it wouldn't be the same.

I'd like to see a new RPG made by Nintendo that isn't Zelda. That way there can be some originality
