Should the next zelda game be something similar to..

Reggie said Twilight Princess "was the last Zelda as we knew it" so it will be something really different.

EDIT: Not Reggie, Miyamoto. :x

Reggie is too busy kicking ass to say anything.

The Prime series? What i mean is, should it be a trilogy of sorts. do you think this would be a good idea, or would you just want a normal zelda game like the others, with gameplay changes. I mean, i think that if nintendo made this into a trilogy, they could have 1 continuing story throughout the three titles.

Just an idea i thought of, and im wondering what you guys think?Haziqonfire

i agree with almost everything...but especially tht one i do not agree with...Ganondorf has 'risen from the dead' several times...i think the story shud head in a completley new direction.

i found twilight princess to be fairly boring. WW was more fun imo, because of its cartoony art design which i loved. Nintendo is far from caring about its "kiddy image." on another note, TP was not even a challenging game either. In fact, most of them dont present much of a challenge. Nonetheless, what makes it fun, is the way bosses are defeated, that was for me at least. And if im considered a kid to like WW over TP, i dont mind being called one.

First I actually really liked Twilight Princess. It is the most interesting Zelda game since ocarina of time (no offense to all you wind waker fans out there I just wasn't into it as much).

Second what does he mean by last Zelda as we know it? To me when I heard it I thought he meant "This is the last Zelda game!". So "as we know it" means the next zelda game will be nothing like the others? I don't know what we will see. What I am thinking is they may change the formula for the traditional zelda game alltogether and the next one will be a completely different plot with different characters set in the same world as hyrule. You may not even play as link. Possibly... I don't know I heard rumors of a spin off (I can't remember his name for some reason, you know that flamboyant fairy guy).

Third has Nintendo ever had a actual trilogy? While of course there was 3 metroid primes, when I think trilogy I am talking about a 3 part story. Each prime game had its own story. Its popular in games these days to start up a trilogy where one picks up after the other. Halo for example, or mass effect, god of war, the upcoming too human. You get the point. I don't tihnk I have ever seen nintendo do anything like this. If they have I am unware of it.

Well the new zelda will be totally different from others, it has to be, if nintendo wants to keep fans entertained. Sure the old forumla is good, however, its starting to get boring.Haziqonfire

Yeah I don't agree with that at all. I've been playing them since 1987, and I am not yet bored in the least.

If I want to play something other than Zelda, I'll play something other than Zelda. It's quite easy to find those, they're everywhere. When I pick up a game with "Zelda" on the label, I expect to play a game very similar to those I've played with other "Zelda" names on the label. That's why I play series in the first place. I am not in love with the name as an end in itself, as if anything called "Zelda" will do the trick -- I am in love with the gameplay.

Makes the characters alot more expressive and likable.

I would definitely be interested with having a series of Zelda games that were all connected by some story element far more deeply than OoT-MM or WW-PH were. If not a trilogy or other number of connected games, Id just like a more story and character driven experience whether theyre all connected or not, thats why LA and MM are my two favorite of the series, because for me they had the best plots and character interactions of the series.

Theres a lot that could be done to freshen up Zelda, but none of it falls into reinventing the formula. Reshaping, tweaking, modifying etc is definitely needed, but at the core there is nothing wrong with the LttP/OoT formula, this is what most people love about the series.

I dont know what to make of the Miyamoto quote, in some ways its refreshing, but in other ways its not. The series does need some change to occure, but at the same time I dont want something completely different, sure it will probably be an amazing game, but so was RE4 yet I still want to have a new RE following the formula of the originals.

I'd really love them to ditch the whole link has to save zelda (although it being what the game is based on from the start).

Maybe a somewhat darker story, death, intrigue and hate, less kid friendly, basicly the oposite of what it is now.

I'm cool with the gameplay but the light hearted story really kills it for me, just beacause it is that same light hearted story they use over and over

wth? online play? why? that'll just be a useless feature that'll suck up precious dev time

It should be entireley different. Like, futuristic different. With link riding a motorcycle code named Epona and a high frequency sword dubbed master sword. Also, you should be able to use dins fire as an add on to the sword. You just choose the gem you want and put it in the sword. Then you could use different elements on the sword like, ice, thunder and wind. The sword should shape shift. So... what do you think? Oh, i forgot to mention he should use guns and sniper rifles dubbed bow and arrow get it?

Oh yeah thats about it... oh wait i forgot something. Make him do contet sensitive moves ala God OF War! and add BLOOD!!!

Thank god youre not in charge of the next LoZ. Make a new game with those ideas, dont ruin a landmark franchise.

Minus the guns and violence and that might be alright as long as it sticks to the original gameplay. The_Legend_Of_Zelda.exe. Meh, that will never happen.

I'd really love them to ditch the whole link has to save zelda (although it being what the game is based on from the start).

I'm cool with the gameplay but the light hearted story really kills it for me, just beacause it is that same light hearted story they use over and over

Make Zelda the main character instead of Link. Its her Legends anyways.

I don't think the story needs to be made darker so much as it needs to be less shallow, since a less shallow story should become darker naturally. The storyline needs a few twists and turns in it, something along the lines of what Mario RPG's did, fighting what you think is the last boss only to find out that there is a greater evil to battle. I know the whole "two enemies fighting against a greater evil" story has been done to death but it is still deeper than any other Zelda game's story.

I'd even prefer a less liner story although I'm not suggesting they turn Zelda into the Elder Scrolls games (I will admit punching Zelda in the face for no reason would be fun,) I'm referring to Bioware's style of storytelling.

but online zelda wouldnt be too bad, but co-op only. Basically playing the game, with two people playing at once.

If you like Zelda games than that should be ok. I just want another Zelda game. One with the same feel as all the others, becuase I like them. I don't want it to be like Link uses a gun to take down wave after wave of Aliens while on a huge ring in space, in first person.

Reggie said Twilight Princess "was the last Zelda as we knew it" so it will be something really different.

I seriously hope they don't screw up the series just to have something original. Sometimes original just doesn't work, and I'd rather have more of the same that I love than something completely new, "original", and crappy.

I'd settle for some new story twists, maybe a new setting, and voice acting (for everyone except Link), but I never had a problem with the formula of the game.

Just looking at that title conjures up so many ridiculously awesome ideas.

Can you read? I have no issue with such a game being made as new franchise, nor am I opposed to changes being made to LoZ franchise, but I take issue with someone desiring to destory a franchise by stripping away the very charm and essence which makes it so endearing and fun. If you want a futuristic game by all means go buy one, there are dozens upon dozens of futuristic action games out there, LoZ doesnt need to enter their ranks. Because in making LoZ into one of them youre just gonna have a LoZ game in name and name alone.
