New Zelda like SS or OoT?

I am really curious to see how they decide to make the new Zelda for the 3DS. Is it going to be 3D or 2D? I am guessing 3D with the same engine powering OoT 3DS. Will it have a world similar to SS, or a more open feel like Ocarina of Time (and other Zelda's)? What do you want to happen with the new Zelda? Do you want it to take after SS in its more direct and linear world, or more like OoT's open and spread out world?

Personally I hope the new game uses the OoT 3DS engine and brings Zelda back to a more open world (I am not asking for Skyrim lol). I loved SS, but I feel the new Zelda on the 3DS could return to the glory days of the N64. I love all Zeldas, but I feel OoT and MM are still the best 3D Zelda games made.

Plz, don't make console Zelda's on the handheld. Make them unique. A Zelda co-op adventure mixing Four Sword and Portal 2 elements? Sure, but not a carbon copy of Ocarina, Skyward, etc. bonesawisready5

You dont like playing OoT 3DS? And your opinion is your opinion, but just to let you know, every Zelda on handhelds is just like a console Zelda, just not current consoles. Handhelds are not different, they are just behind consoles :P. ALTTP used to be the "console Zelda" and pretty much all of the handheld Zelda games are like this. I dont see a problem with them making 3D Zelda games on the 3DS. That said, I could go for another overhead 2D one (not four swords, even if it is good), but I dont want touch controls again like PH and ST (havent played ST yet).

A mix between OoT and some 2D could be good. They could do some neat things with the angles with an isometric game. I'd rather they didn't use Toon link this time, and please no TOTAL TOUCH SCREEN controls.

PH and ST were two of my least favourite Zeldas, and I loves me some Zelda.

Well I'd love to see more of the Skyward Sword generation, so another one set in a similar time period and setting (and thus, graphics) would be pretty cool. But I'm keen for whatever really.

If they are going to try and be like SS they need voice acting and CGI cutscenes. I wouldn't mind a 2.5D game

No, I've loved it. I just don't want Nintendo to simply make Console-like Zelda's for their new handheld. Keep it unique. If its 3D, make it unique on its ownbonesawisready5

i dont get why your first 2 options are seperate..

like SS or like OOT? both a 3d zelda games... whats the difference?

SS is far more linear/sectioned off and action/dungeon based than past zelda games ;)

Except that ALTTP was a console Zelda and Links Awakening, Minish Cap, Oracle of Ages/Seasons, and so on are all handheld ones, yet you would never know the difference. Handhelds are simply behind consoles in terms of tech, that is all.

I do not understand on what you mean by, "bringing back the true Zelda feel," in your poll. :?

Anyway, I would like to see a combination of Skyward Sword's dungeon-like overworld with the exploration of Wind Waker (like how you can discover dozens of islands instead of them being shown on your map right away), but it should also have some unique stuff that console games are unable to do (like PH and ST with its touch controls and the use of the mic, but we won't see full touch controls again because the main focus of the 3DS is the top screen, unlike the DS).

They need to bring back an explorable over world. Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Skyward Sword all were lacking that

lol wut?

i still dont get you...skyward sword was not any less linear than twilight princess.....and TP wasnt much more linear really than OOT

action dungeon based? wth is that? you mean there was no puzzles in ss?

I mean there was 1 town....ONE. That is it. This is a first in 3D Zelda games. There is basically nothing to explore in the sky. The surface is more focused on parts of the story and traversing it, sort of like a dungeon, rather than an extention of the world. This is a known fact, as Nintendo specifically stated the style was different, and many editors reported on this. It is a change I dotn much like. I think they did some stuff well, but they took out the other stuff I enjoy. I want to see them do BOTH things and mash them together :P.

OOT was pretty linear, unless you chose to defy the order of dungeons Nintendo had planned, but thats just a choice in the order, whatever you do it in, OOT only had one small field where you could access to either Castle, Karkiovillage/deathmountain, the forest, zora area, lake and desert.

I havent played SS yet, but from what I heard it sounds kinda like that. :L

Play SS and you will see what I mean ;). great game, but lacks a lot IMO. Of course this is just my opinion, you might love the change.

It's like asking "SM64 or SMG". SM64 is different in a way compared to modern 3D platformers, yes, but those types of designs are considered dated.

Or asking Modern Warfare 4 to get rid of the self healing in favor of health packs, just not gonna happen.

Im not sure. I would love a 3D original handheld Zelda but I think the 3D effect would look better on a Link to the Past style game. However the next 3D Zelda game needs to be more open like Ocarina of Time but with all the improvements Skyward Sword made. As trivial as it may seem I don't want to go back to a Zelda game without being able to run :P

Also am I the only one who would be interested in:

[spoiler] A true origins story that goes back to the original battle with Hylia and Demise? How awesome would that be? Obviously it wouldn't feature Link or "Zelda" but it sounds like a neat idea. [/spoiler]

Or am I the only one who likes that idea? :P Besides that it could give the developers an easier time switching up the formula.

I loved both, so either way I'll be satisfied. :P

I just want them to confirm if they're going to remake MM, which to me is the greatest zelda game.

No it's not :?. So Other M is also setting the standard for future metroid's worlds? :lol:

PS - regen health is used way too often, and I miss the old style sometimes ;)

They covered the basics of that in SS so no, I don't think you will see that plot :P. I agree with what you want for gameplay though.

What's wrong with Other M? It's basically Metroid Fusion in 3D but without the unmapped sections.

Other M was a lot of fun, but its exploration (or lack thereof) is very limited, and item hunting is dumbed down. Don't even get me started on the new action style that makes shooting way too easy and boring. Its a very fun game, but with a lot of issues.

Yeah ofc but I meant the world itself is nicely designed I think, once you have unlocked every area.

The progression plays like a CoD campaign as in full linearity that is achieved through locking doors to guide you forward, and that's not what Metroid should be about obviously.

I actually enjoyed the combat alot! It's Metroid TPS, the first of its kind. Of course it's not gonna set standards of the FPS or 2D games, it is its own thing.

The reason why Other M is a mess is becasue they wanted to make a traditional PS3/360 "hardcore" experience, while compromising to keep some Metroid elements and that held the game back more than it helped. A true spin-off with very little "Metroid" would have been a better game. We could have dubbed it a great game, but not a great Metroid game like with Sunshine, and moved on. It would have been more acceptable if it was this way. What I'm saying is, get rid of the E-tanks, they made absolutely no sense in this context of gameplay, recharging missiles? lol. Randomly locked doors.. yeah just make something entirely different instead with the Metroid universe slapped onto it, classic Nintendo style lol. (Kirby's Epic Yarn etc.)

....I do? That must be why I gave Mario Galaxy 2 a 9.5, Galaxy 1 a 9.0, Mario kart DS a 9.0. Just bought a 3DS and Pushmo (awesome game), and enjoyed Skyward Sword, Other M, and many others. Just cause I have complaints and dont think the games are the strongest in the series, does not mean I hate them. I cannot wait to get 3D land and Mario Kart 7.

They both made a change in the formula of the game, especially the world. I am not comparing them, just saying that a change in a series does not mean it will stay that way.

I think Skyward Sword is best compared to Metroid Prime 3. Although it is better than Metroid Prime 3 :P.

I just said MP3 not Other M...are you even reading my posts? the world is broken into more streamlined sections in both games, with both focusing more on action rather than exploration.

I like how well Ocarina of Time was on the 3DS, so yes I prefer if they keep it like that. The touch controls for Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks was too touchy & limited.

I'd go with the first option
