New Zelda Game Idea

I always thought it would be cool to have a legit Nintendo game the showed Zelda in the 7 years link was not preasent in Ocarina of Time.

They could call it Siek's Tale or something... I always thought you could save Ruto from the Domain freezing over, and fight Bongo Bongo in Kakariko villiage or something...

I'm just kinda wondering if this is a wierd thought or if other ppl agree...

I guess it's my Zelda Fanboy dream... lol :P

A Legend of Zelda game where you play as Sheik.... I kind of like the idea actually. It would definitley change things around a bit. Not sure I'd want it in the time period you stated, seeing the same locations in Ocarina of Time would be kind of boring. I like new locales in each game.ozzsoad

as far as we can tell, Oot is the only zelda game that features sheik so it would only make sense to have it in that world and time.parksits

I don't think I'd like that. How would they market it? Ocarina of Time 1.5?

why would they have to call it ocarina of time 1.5? if the story isn't about the ocarina then thats not really necessary is it.

i think a story about that great war that happened before Oot could be interesting as well as one about sheik.

Glad to see ppl think it's a good idea

As far as my ideas for the game went, Impa would train Zelda to become Shiek, there would be new areas, but some from OoT would still be there, like Kakariko Village, Zora's Domain, and Hyrule field... then again, that's just my thinking

It prolly wouldn't be called OoT 1.5 or 2, It would prolly be a totally separately named game, like Legend of Zelda: Shiek's Tale... as I said before

Lol I planned most of the game... lol if I could make a good graphic game, I'd totally make that :)

In every Zelda game, there's a different Link. Didn't you know that? That's basically the reason why you can choose the name of the character before starting the game.Thiago26792

Not completely true: there is a time line to Zelda's

The first 2 somewhere in here --> OoT --> MM --> the rest

Wind waker and the PH were pretty much the only ones you weren't Link

Actually there may not be a timeline since the developers originally never had that in mind, the timeline is pretty much something made completely by the fans.

Anyway i like this idea of a Sheik game, i would definitely be interested.

The shiek idea is pretty solid. What about a game that places you as link the same as it does in Ocarina, but the story plays out differently so instead of going away for 7 years, you play through the 7 years as if he had never gone, could make for a cool take on the story, and by the way, the dtuff in ocarina never gets old.

But the idea of a hylian wars based zelda, omg! sounds beautiful, imagine, You are links father, or grandfather, and fight these super epic battles like lord of the rings, but not lord of the rings gameplay, you fight an adolesent ganondorf at some point before he is the king of thieves and while he is just a tough gerudo kid. You go to some of the same areas of the game like the sacred forest and zoras domain but none of that has been established yet, that why there is war, by the end of the gamethe story hints/crosses into link being born and the normal ocarina story, then the game ends. A masterpeice in my mind.

I really think the gameplay is so different that it would need to be a spin-off. As much as I feel Zelda could use a shot in the arm for some new ideas, I think these kinds of changes would be a move in the wrong direction. One thing I think would really benefit the Zelda series would be to have the boss battles less about figuring out how you're supposed to beat them then rinse and repeat 3 times, and instead play out a bit more like a duel. In fact, I'd like it if more of the Zelda battles (even the peon baddies) would play a little more that way. They've introduced it to some degree with WW, but it could really be improved upon.

all good points

technically, aren't all zelda's spinn-offs of the original?

Yeah I agree, I dont wanna see shiek during OoT. I'd like a different shiek, in a different time period. Ive always wanted a game with a playable shiek. And finally the series' title would be named after the main character, not some princess that isnt even in some of them. Link doesnt even have to be in it, I mean it is call the Legend of Zelda.

Though zelda doesnt neccessarily have to be shiek. Shiek could just be the name of a shiekah hero, possible link in disguise? Also the series always has a stealth sequence at some point, at least the console versions do, and being a "ninja" could make some use of this.

And one more thing, I would love to be able to jump, but maybe I should just play some KH..

jumping + Zelda = awesome...lol

I like the TC's idea and actually think that will happen. I also believe there will be more magic involved.

I would like to see a Zelda game where the enemies didn't respawn personally...Fredrick2003x
