What do you want to see in LoZ Wii?

Ok, so with a new zelda surely on the way, what would you like to see improved, added or droped in the next zelda game? What kinda story would you like to see?

For me, he main problem right now is that it has become stale after 4 games with the nearly exact same story, combat, and design. So:

1 - Make the game less linear. Let me have some choice of what order to tackle most dungeons.

2 - Don't throw in so many useless items. I swear in TP, after the dungeon you get them in, the morningstar, slingshot, boomerang, spin disk, and magic wand are worthless and almost never used in any meaningful way.All any player should need to beat the game is a bow, bombs, a proper boomerang, and a lamp. Everything else should be hidden extras. Useful extras like...unlike the magic armor.

3- Combat feels good. Targeting was spot on in WW and TP. But now that we have the wiimote, and not a GC version of TP holding us back, go full 1:1 sword combat. Keep the rest of the combat the same. Make enemies that require certain directional swings to beat. Like en enemy with armor everywhere but their head requires head strikes. Make each enemy a puzzle I guess. And have all the sword attacks be swinging. It was weird swinging for normal attacks, but pressing A for others and swinging the nunchuck for others.

4- Change the plot design a bit. If I get another game about ganondorf, link, and zelda having triforce marks on their hands...I'm gonna be peeved.

5 - Make rupees worth something. Make shops worth going too.

6- Also, I was most impressed by WW graphics. I would love to see another cell-shaded zelda game, but just darker. Link should be an adult and if they could cell shade a game to look like the art from TP...that would be awsome.

Cell shade this!

You can't have a Zelda Game without Link, Zelda, and Ganandorf, it's original
any other games with out them are like side LoZ games...
And the marks on the hand means that they have the power, they wouldn't be chosen with out it

and I'd keep link the age he is now.

Other than that, dude, you preetty much said it.

I agree with 1 3 and 5.

2) yes i agree the items are useless (besides clawshot boomarang arrows and bombs) but what i want to see nintendo do is to give us cool items like Spinner Ball and chain Etc. But make us use them the whole game. Honestly you get the spinner in the 4th dungeon. And honestly you never use it again (besides getting like 2 heart pieces) So in Zelda games the dungeon puzzles are easy because all you have to think is Can i solve this using arrows, bombs, clawshot, boomarang or the item i just got.

Nintendo should

make you get an item in the 1st dungeon and still have to use it for the seventh dungeon. not just never use it again.

Four i agree with ophyre

6.) NO!

Voice acting is a must. Metroid Prime 3 just proved the argument about Link's silence pointless. Actually, Half-Life did that back in 1998. . . .

I'd also like better motion controls. I don't want true 1:1 sword combat, but context-sensitive directional strikes would really help. In addition, what if firing the bow required holding down the B button, pulling back on the remote (i.e., the bowstring), and releasing the B button? Yes, that could be complicated, but it's a thought.

All told, I'd be much happier with a game that simply challenged me, and not just to find random insects, at that!

The thing I want the most is to actually use the Wii to its full potential. Like someone else said, Hold B&A to "pinch" an arrow, pull back and let go to shoot an arrow. Hard? Yes. More realistic? Yes. More enjoyable? I think so. Gritty 1:1 combat would be awesome, with the nunchaku serving as the shield and the wiimote serving as the sword.

I think voice acting would do well as well.

Pretty much i want them to do something that like what retro did with Metroid Prime 1 -- make it something drastically different and coolHaziqonfire

My thoughts exactly - I'm ready for the series to try something new.

I love 3. I'm sorry but in TP I didn't really feel like I was actually swinging the sword, but fishing felt spot on.... if they could make the sword-play as awesome as the fishing stuff, then that would make me very very happy.

Also, I thought 6 was an interesting point, I never actually thought about how that would work out, but it seems like a great idea.

i'd like to see the characters talk. i honestly hate reading the little subtitles. and yea, less linear. i don't think you could change the story plot too much because its simple. Link rescues Zelda from Ganondorf, and saves Hyrule, and maybe a few side characters like Midna and Zant. but most of all,...i want to see them talk!! god, all i hear is grunts when the characters are either getting attacked, or there is some drama. and midna was all jibberish which was dumb.Jayesler12

I think they had to remove any ideas of adding voice acting because the game was mainly being made for the GC. The Gc disk hold only about 1GB or almost 2GB.

what would your reactions be to a 3-d remake of a game like a link to the past

i don't think i would want to play through that story again

just want to see what you think

1. Darker story.

2. More magic/fantasy

3. Be able to play as Zelda! (Crap idea >.>)

I Like to see a MMORPG with the characters of zelda and fight for levelTadeo323

No

I think i still want to see a leveling system. It would be like kingdom hearts. Also it would be better if ganondorf would have to join forces with link because of a greater evil. Like something like the triforce broke and now there is chaos. The only ones who could restore it is zelda ganondorf and of course Link. The reason i want a leveling system is because the bosses are to easy. If they had leveling system such as kingdom hearts they can make bosses EXTREMELY hard so that i would have to get stronger and fighting monsters would be of use to me. Also it would show how much stronger link gets. In all zelda games he attacks the same each and every time. The only time he gets stronger is when he gets a new sword. They dont have to add HP or anything but a leveling system would be MUCH betterbig_mak123

No I think that Ganon joing Forces with Link and Zelda is SUCH A HORRIBLE Idea that WOuld Totally WReak the Game to its CORE>>>> BAD bad bad!!!

[QUOTE="Tadeo323"]I Like to see a MMORPG with the characters of zelda and fight for leveldark_mask_91

agreed

Not to be mean, but some of you just have terrible ideas.I disagree with just about everything the TC said minus the thing about more motion controls. However that will obviously done so it goes without saying. About the game have linear points, uh thats the way a story works my friend. It wouldnt make much sense if you saw the cutscene for the middle of the story, or the end before the beginning right? The more story driven a game is the more linear it will be, Twilight Princess has a good balance. Also the Twilight Princess story was nothing like any other Zelda game.

A story without Link, Zelda, and Ganon, well that wouldnt exactly be Zelda now would it. Hyrule is an infinite world and so is the triforce. As long as Hyrule is around, the triforce will be as well, and then so will Ganon, Zelda, and Link. Since they all have the triforce. You were forced to use Rupees more in TP than any other Zelda, howeverI dont want the game to become all about spending money. I enjoy finding weapons more than I enjoy buying them. Another Cel Shaded game equals another bad idea.

I would like to see a more expansive Hyrule, make it bigger and grander with more places to go. Like some small side villages never seen or heard of. Also I would like more side quest, like maybe another trading quest.But this time, with more to do, like for example maybe you have to trade something that requires you to scrap a carriage to the back of epona, or you have to rent a boat to carry something across a river or something. Freshen it up to be more than just ride from one side of Hyrule to the other. Voice acting, I could take it or leave it.

First person LoZ anyone? :P

Nah, gritty realistic 1:1 sword combat and shield, more difficult, a damnsight more enermies, like entire hordes,or massive groups of travelling orcs that wander randomly, a working shop and money system, weather - heavy rain, flooding, wind - all the old effects in one game - adds to the realism of our heros adventure :D, more dramatic landscape, I want massive rolling hills, huge cliffs with secret stairways, shallow rivers, zelda games have always had this, but on wii it needs to be even better.

I wouldn't mind a WW style game, maybe a mix of those graphics and killer 7's. But keep it colorful like WW.

The best game would be MM characters mixed with the epicness of OoT and updated controls of TP and add an original storyline.

Well.. Since Ninty is remaking the game... They should make an epic trilogy. 3 more games.. that actually follow eachother. Not like OoT, and MM, but are actually. one coherent story, The second one picks up right where the first one left off. Include new ideas though, kickass items, defenantly some new, original ideas and a seriously compelling story line. It would be. amazing.Virus214

that would be the opitemy of all awesomeness and epicness

but would it all fit in the wiis lifespan?

I'm sure whatever Nintendo does will be fine. I don't really know what to want in the next Zelda.

Well not to be a graphics wh0r3, but I just want a gmae to shut up everyone in SW for a little bit.

Who cares. A lot of series have gone into the next system. God of War, Halo, etc.

I really want a game like that, but that would hopefully make it have a deeper story with deeper characters. Please Nintendo.

Link should go of to another land similar to Majoras Mask but without the limited time.

First of all, let me start out by saying that this is an extremely well written post. I agree with just about everything on here.

I would like the Zelda game to have more freedom, like in the Original Metroid Prime.

I know this sound crazy, but online play would be awesome.

Archery scoreboards and other minigames scoreboards online would be awesome.

Even recorded things like speed runs or some sort of minigame like in FF8 (the card game)

I really like the cel-shaded adult idea.

I would like to also see a ridiculously evil looking main boss. It would be cool if the last temple had an evil feel to it (not evil as in ghosts, but as in demon like creatures).

Also, itd be cool if the game could have some Animal Crossing based things, like a letter system. The game seemed similar with the collecting bugs in TP, so itd be cool to see that idea be expanded.

Can we please have zelda turn into Shiek also? Co-op would be tight if that were possible. Maybe her soul could be taken, but she would still have a spiritlike form.

IDK all speculation btw...

cool topic

I would love to see Zelda take a more open ended Elder Scrolls sort of approach. Let the world be completely open without the cliffs and hills that act as boundaries. The land around you can gradually change as you enter different places, like the Goron's village in the mountains, or Zora's domain. Exploring would be so much fun, and less linear! I think the Wii can handle it, just as thr XBox ran Morrowind really well.

Also, make the puzzles harder! Some parts of TP were great, but mostly it was too easy.

Lastly, and I cannot emphasize this enough, keep the Ocarina/TP style of graphics and art. WW may have looked different and "pretty", but it does not attract a wide variety of gamers. It reminds me, and many others of uber-Japanese type games, like Pokemon. That is a definite turnoff. I want a more realistic looking game, and I thought TP was right on the mark.

i just wish they brought back the magic meter and the three elemental arrows back. also some voice acting, the mirror shield, the biggoron sword or the great fairy sword, the boots and probably the masks were cool.

you know what, i really wish they just made a remake of OoT and majoras mask put together. they can put better graphics, probably more items. i want to know what link did in the forest in the beginning of majoras mask. they can do that. i thought cell shaded graphics were weird at the beginning, but then i started to think it was cool.

~LL~

I want see link in the future where he can alternate between time. Like old hyrule vs. new hyrule and Links items change between the dimensions like his sword would be metal in old hyrule. While in the future like a gun-blade or light-saber type sword.yuku_2000

I was thinking about somethig like that yesterday but then i thought it would flop and then i came to the realization that nintendo already has a futuristic adventure puzzler game...Metroid

How about just forgetting Zelda, and make a new game for once, that isn't the same damn thing for the 4th time when it comes to 3D Zeldas?!?!?!


TacticalElefant

How about No, also not to be mean but I am glad that alot of you arent game developers.
