I'm hoping for a Wind-Waker style game with an epic story, new weapons/tools and perhaps the new Wii Motion Plus for realistic gameplay.

What do you want?

personally i expect nothing short of a complete overhaul. TP was basically the perfecion of the OOT system. sure they could pack some more stuff on and make little tweaks....but i dont think itll be enough anymore. what id like to see: 1) Change the overall structure of the game. since ALTTP its been a case of do 3 dungeons to collect items. use items in 4th dungeon to get important item (like the master sword), complete 3-4 more dungeons then finish the game. maybe instead of having one big story, make a short story of each of the dungeons. 2)Shake it up on the dungeons. there getting a bit formulaic now. maybe have a dungeon thats very light on the combat and more focused on the puzzles. hell maybe have a dungeon thats a bit like professor layton. set it in a town with a mystery to solve and puzzles to make progress. im not saying that the old system should be completly kicked out..but variety would be nice. 3)Give the player all the items in the game from the start. its a gutsy move but it allows the player to explore the world as they see fit and experiment with the items as they wish. it also means the kewl stuff isnt just kept till the end. so wheres the reward for completing the dungeons? imho completing them is reward enough. it also means that the bosses can be more interesting from the off...ninty dont need to worry about what items the player has. 4) more open play. allow the player to discover and complete the dungeons in whatever order they want and explore the whole world from the off.

this is all good, but i think there is a simple detail that will make the game THAT much better. Ready? Ok, here goes!!! ahem..No rupees or hearts from enemies. That will make the rupee treasures more rewarding, and the potion markets actually useful :D

Me? I don't really think I need to imagine because knowing Nintendo and their Zelda titles, they will present a masterpiece for their Wii exclusive Zelda title ;) No matter what kind of sword combat, story, controls, boss battles, puzzles, etc. I know Nintendo will do everything in its power to execute it the best way possible, and for that, I will be pleased, just like with every other 3d Zelda title that's been out since Ocarina of Time :D:D

i agree

in fact, the zelda franchise needs more items in general.There is nothing I hate more than finding 500 rupees only for it to be WASTED because there is nothing to buy in the game!!!

my hope is that they dont completely redo the game's style and lose that unique zelda feel. Thats what happened with phantom hourglass (imo).

I want something along the lines of Majora's Mask again

I've got an Idea, Downloadable content, I'm sure they'll find a way to input DL Content into Zelda. Think about it, New weapons, missions, dongouns.

Not only that but I want to see a new art style in the game other than the Cell Shaded style and the OoT style, something new, something that will blow our minds away.

How about a future based zelda game? There is never the same link in the zelda games, there all years after or before eachother, but I think it would be pretty cool to see link in a future based world.

1. Reboot the franchise. Emphasize story, characters(major and minor) their motivations, etc.

2. Cel Shaded graphics with an OoT/MM/TP art sty-le.

3. More free roaming, explorable, open and organic world.(Organic in the sense that locations and dungeons are more seamlessly woven into the overworld and not stark departures from normal areas. A dungeon dungeon doesnt have to be this separate isolated entity with no purpose in the world but for Link to linearly travel through to a boss). I want to be in a believable world that feels like its lived in.

4. Fewer items that have wide degrees of use and combination that promote experimentation in combat, puzzles and in exploration of the world.

5. Evolved combat(not motion based). Only use motion based where its appropriate, ie aiming, and appropriate gestures for special moves like NMH does. Make sword play more dynamic and fluid allowing for better combos and fighting multiple enemies.

6. Better bosses/enemies, no more expose weak spot attack, rinse and repeat 3 times.

7. Rupees, give them a meaning again. Make them harder to find. Dont have arrows, bombs, etc be found in grass only in stores and limited crates/pots. Add more optional equipment(useful ones at that not magic armor crap), and weapons like biggorons and fairy swords.

8. Bring back masks and rich interaction with NPCs, expand the masks with things like costumes or something.

9. Bring back an instrument, doesnt have to be an Ocarina.

10. Bring the fight to the world, make the conflict feel real and present. Have the enemy retaliate and really seem like its ravaging the lands and destorying the peoples lives. I want more fights like TPs King Bulbin fight in the field and on the bridge.

My biggest wish is that it comes out in 2009. Other than that, I know Nintendo will do a great job of making the game amazing, so I don't have a list of things I want.

What I want most from Zelda is a tweak in the formula. Change of the dungeons a little. Not all of them should be caves or temples - how about an open air dungeon instead, one integrated with the world map instead of an individual map set. The combat should be improved - true Wii controls, but don't overdo it. TP was a good step in this direction. I would prefer the game not to be a waggle-fest, but that would be better than having to accurately express my motions every time I see an enemy. Integrate Wii Motion Plus, and make new items specific to the motions it can interpret. Lastly, make Ganondof necessary, and keep the story in-depth. TP started to have a good sense of story, but it was screwed up by the formula. I can picture Aunoma: Wait, we need Ganon in this game! Well, this time make him necessary!! Zant was fine until he turned into a cry-baby at the end. But mostly, I have faith in whatever Nintendo puts out, as long as it's not another collection of minigames. Zelda Party! No thank you.

1. Better graphics, yeah sure wii is no powerhouse, but push it to is limits. Better technical graphics means a better and more defined artistic direction. TP looked great for a last gen game, imagine how much better it could be.

2. Better world. The system of interconnected freeform chunks of land with very obvious boundaries is becoming old. This recycled OOT system see us exploring a dense forest through a freakin' tunnel. We need an open world and detailed world, no I don't mean a sparse sandbox like oblivion, I'm talking about a 3d equivalent of link's awakening that doesn't use a pack of trees or moutain like a fence. I remember watching the TP trailer and seeing link fighting in an open forest...what the hell happened to that? The good old square 15x15 (or whatever it was) grid world, rich in detail large in size, that's what zelda needs..

3. Get rid of the sword motion controls or at least make them decent. I'm not asking for a 1:1 sword movement, I just want the sword to go horizontal when I swing horizontal.

4. Left handed link; he's aways been a lefthanded person's idol now they rob him of his dignity. there was no point of changing him to right-handed in the first place it's not like anyone could get confused when all you have to do is shake the controller to make him slash in a random form.

Well, they tried to do that in Majora's Mask and, to a lesser extent, in Windwaker, but the reactionary babies who call themselves game journalists decided the changes were BAAAAAD.

i would want dynamic weather, really powerful storms, blizzards. anything. items that you use for more than a few puzzles, (spinner and dominion rod), loads more enemies that do high damage, not a quarter heart. more and deeper side quests like that one in MM (with the guy that gets turned into a kid). but i will buy the next one no matter what and probably love it.

I'm hoping for a game that pushes the wii to it's absolute limit. I want to see the best they can do with realistic graphics. I want to see Wii Motion+ and the balence board pushed to the max with awesome combat and puzzles. I want to see blazing fast internet multiplayer with Wiispeak (Somewhat like PHs but where you actualy fight other players instead of drawing lines). Zelda could be absolutely incredible on Wii and i expect them to make it so.

Huh? If I had any input whatsoever when it came to developing these games, Zelda wouldn't be half as successful as it is today. So I'll just let Nintendo do their thing.

How dark? Like Majora's Mask dark, or Twilight Princess dark? And why would you want a gamecube game's graphics? Perhaps you meant the artstyle instead.

I liked Twilight Princess' darkness, but I don't want everything to end up happily ever after.  I want some people to die in the game.  The tone was fine, but I want the mood to be darker.

And I mean artstyIe as well.

I want it to be like most Zeldas but have a great and epic story like Zelda TP did. I want voice acting for all major dialogue. I want Link to be late teenager more than kid. I would like for it to be something incredibly new unlike Zelda TP which did a lot of what the previous 3 major Zelda games did. I also want it to have more cut scenes.

i would like voice acting but not link

play as another character

have someone from another franchise in the game

hand to hand combat

actual sword motion, ya know, horizontal swing=horizontal slash

more weapons and items to buy

cell-shaded graphics but like TP

some aerial combat would be awesome.

new monsters

more enemies and bosses

an extremely hard boss

different swords or ability to upgrade a sword

and that's about it, i already know the story is gonna be really good.
