What do you guys want in the next handheld Zelda game? I hope that we get a game that follows the traditional zelda formula on the consoles- get 3 items, master sword, then more harder dungeons then Ganon. I hope they keep this formula, but spice it up, because when you think about it, the handheld Zelda's havent really followed that formula. I think the best handheld zelda games were OoA/OoS and LA. Howeve, they just had a simple 8 dungeons and then the final boss.

Id like it to be like minish cap, that game was awesome. I think a new villain would be better than ganondorf he needs a break, vaati was great in minish cap and id like to see him in the next main console zelda game.

I kinda like to see another game where Dark Link is the main villain again (or atleast take a more of center stage) with a better plotline scenes.

I'd like it to be something that tries new things. The game play in Phantom Hourglass was great and the story was better than I expected but something new would be great. If they can do something really unique, messing with the formula, new art style, a more personal story (similar to Majora's Mask) and some varied environments (Phantom Hourlgass was horrible when it came to seeing different terrains) I would be pretty hyped.

2D sprites, less puzzles than phantom hourglass, harder and bigger enemies, dungeon bosses not only defeated by new items.

I'd like to see something with many sidequest like in Majora's Mask. I remember wandering around Termina after last Boss and collecting Masks, items and piece of hearts. Rings in gbc games were also great. Nintendo can change style, story but i want something like gamecube/n64/wii games. Something different than Phantom Hourglass. Don't get me wrong, PH was great DS game, but it was poor Zelda game. Great use of touchscreen and mic, but i wanted engaging fight system, different locations, graphics in real 3D and sharp controls. Best Zelda would be remake of MAjora's Mask on DS :)

i want somethin with normal controls again. in phantom hourglass link never responed right when enemies were around. he'd always run when i wanted to sue the sword and things like that, but it almost never happend in normal situations. i want somethin with tons of side quests and optional things that will affect things later on in the game depening on if you went for them or not.

I want to see another DS-oriented Zelda, as much as I love the old 2D ones. New weapons and puzzles with those controls would be great.

I think a more interactive approach to the dungeons would be cool. And better designed as well. Phantoms dungeons felt a bit thrown together compared to previous entries. And maybe more focus on puzzles than fighting.

I would love to see full 3D like in Super Mario 64. That game managed to do it so why can't a Zelda game follow suit?

I agree.

They ported Mario 64 for the DS, why not Zelda Ocarina of Time?

I think they should keep the cel shaded graphics from PH and the same characters (but add a few new ones) Actually I would be fine if they just copied PH and just added a new story and took out the Temple of the Ocean King. They could mix it up a bit and cut out the sailing and make it a land adventure, but I didnt have a problem with the sailing in PH so they could keep it.

So call me crazy but I dont really want a brand new style of Zelda game for the DS. Phantom Hourglass 2 is fine by me.

i liked minish cap more than PH, but i like the controls of PH, plus if you change the controls people are gonna complain and if you dont change the controls, people are gonna get bored.

I really like all the handheld Zelda games, and if you think about it they are all quite unique, and bring something new to the table each time. ALTTP and LA are the two more traditional ones. Both of the Oracle games brought an unique spin to the series and incorporated some good ideas. MC was somewhat traditional but had some new ideas such as the kinstones, as well as a unique story. And finally PH brought a lot of changes and new ideas. For the next handheld Zelda I think a little bit from each of the games could make things interesting. The controls and such from PH were good, but I personally didn't like the main timed dungeon at all. The many sidequests from MC and ALTTP would work well, as well as the interesting twists presented in the Oracle games. And ALTTP and LA have the classic Zelda gameplay that makes the games so much fun. I think that Nintendo should try and analyze the good and bad aspects of each of the handheld games, some of which I listed, then combine the good while throwing out the bad. The idea seems incredibly simple, but because the handheld games have so much variety to them, I think it would work quite nicely.

It should be 3d and cell shaded like the first wind waker on the GC, but link should be older and have a more darker story because pirates aren't supposed to be nice.

I agree.

They even improved the graphics too from SM64!
If they ported OoT...Omg. People would go nuts.

yeah that would be awesome but what do you think would it be d-pad or touch screen controls?

If it's touch screen than it going to be very similar to PH and the over the top view will also make it a lot like PH. D-pad i think would be doable but of course their would be moments where control is tight.

I think this could work d-pad for movement, shoulder buttons for camera, a and b for sword and action/roll/whatever and x and y for items.

No, let's really bend things around. How about a 2d zelda, on DS. Much like Legend of Zelda 2, way back in the day. Mix in dungeons that are modelled after Castlevania games. Damn yeah, that could be seriously awesome. Really fresh take on it. There is a little 2d stuff in LA.

This. But it should be longer - MC was way too short(Maybe a bit darker too, like ALttP).

A game similar to Ocarina of Time with a similar setting, but a different plot with different temples, and half of the items in all the Zelda games (bombs, arrows, hookshot, etc.) with some new ones as well.
