1) Large scale battles- I'm tired of just going up against 6 enemies at the most. I want epic large scale bloodfests with thousands of guys on my side and thousands on the other side.
That would be very cool, I could see it happening someday.
2) Optional dungeons and secret spots- Sort of like oblivion where you can just stumble across something really cool. Also, i want some optional weapons and armor. Things that will help you through the game but are not required.
Majora's Mask did something like that. Fierce Diety Mask and the different sword upgrades (There were 4 different swords I believe, none of which was the Master Sword)
3) More character interaction- I want the NPCs to actually have more to say than just a few lines. I want a character to have depth and character.
Once again, Majora's Mask did this. It had great character interaction, immersive sidequests, and you were actually able to relate to the other characters.
4) Voice acting- self explanatory. NO VOICE FOR LINK! he needs to be quiet but everyone else needs to talk.
Worked well for Metroid Prime 3, I don't see why it wouldn't work for Zelda.
5) RPG elements- I'm talking about upgradeable things like upgrading Link's strength, agility, different swordplay ****, and things of that nature
They already have health and magic upgrades, and Twilight Princess introduced different sword techniques. I could see them adding more RPG elements, but nothing too bland please. Please not the traditional Strength, Agility and Intellect, those have been used so much!
6) A better story- We've essentially been playing the same story for about 20 years and its a little stale at this point. Have link go through some darker stuff. Maybe have him have some morality troubles and some tough decisions to make. It's cool to have Ganondorf still, but at least make him different.
Majora's Mask again lol. You were quite involved with many of the NPC's dilemnas and the story was completely different. Rather than going to the castle and saving the princess, you were to save a town of innocent people that you have learned to love from a menacing danger (Giant moon with the angry face about to crush the world). Rather than Ganondorf trying to take over the world, The skullkid was trying to destroy the world and make them feel his anguish and his loneliness.
7) Harder Difficulty- I want the game to be harder, but not overbearing. TP was a little on the easy side. Maybe up the difficulty one or two notches (especially in the boss battles)
I don't think it is the games that are becoming easier, but the players are adapting to the game difficulty. I think if we played Twilight Princess at the same age we played Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask that we would find it equally difficult (Although Majora's Mask was a very hard game)
Thats about it... there's probably more, but i just can't think of it now. All of this in a zelda game would make it the best zelda game ever IMO. :D
Have you caught on yet that I think Majora's Mask is the closest attempt that Nintendo has made to your idea? If they combine all of their current Zelda elements from other games (Or at least most of them) Then we could have this perfect Zelda game. I think what the story needs is more than one villain. Sure you have the big bad villain like ganondorf trying to take over the world, but why can't we have some anti-heroes or side villains doing their own things and making their own messes, or who have their own agendas with the big kahuna, the lord of evil?
