Why isn't there a Zelda "killer"?

Naw. I don't think we're ever going to see a Zelda killer. It's just too damn good of a franchise.

It wouldn't be that hard for a game to beat Twilight Princess. Shadow of Collosus is the closest game I can compare it to and I defiently liked that more than Twilight Princess.Sparky04

Nothing can beat Zelda.nivet14

Sotc'sso crappy, I actually wrote a review about it. Well, maybe it's more of a public rant.

Okami "takes it cues" from Zelda, according to Greg Kasavin in his review.WeAreToast

What I hated, was the mediocre camera control's. It ruined what was a crappy game anyways.

Why do we need a new franchise? How about the zelda franchise just changes things up a bit? (Which apparantly the next Zelda on the Wii will do)

SOTC had

bad camara, barren empy worlds, ugly characters (except the monsters) No power ups weapons people to talk to nothing.

The monsters saved it.

[QUOTE="too_much_eslim"][QUOTE="nytrospawn"] Yeah, its called Phantom Hour Glass.nivet14

I doubt the game would kill Zelda, but if someone tried to make a game as Epic as Zelda and beyond I would definately be intrigue in Playing the game. Especially if it lives up to the hype of being a great game that can rival Zelda. I only say this because maybe it will force future Zeldas to be drastically different from the last knowing there is competition out there. I am a huge Zelda fan, but if I can play a Zelda like game on another system it would be awesome to play two great games.too_much_eslim

[QUOTE="too_much_eslim"][QUOTE="nytrospawn"][QUOTE="too_much_eslim"] Never said anything would, but wouldn't you want a good game that felt like Zelda but probably better in some areas.sexy_chimp

Well, Zelda is unique. Getting one only once in a while is a good thing. If I constantly had a new Zelda-like game to play, it would get boring.

The closest thing was Okami. Zelda is one hard one to beat.

No, it's more like no franchise will reach Zelda's level. People call TP crap, but any developer out there would have loved to have that title under their name. For me though, I didn't think TP was crap. I actually liked it a lot and thought it was great.

They said the next Zelda is going to do something different and not be an OOT clone.

That's fine. There are many people who hated Wind Waker and I thought it was great too. So I don't expect everyone to love Zelda. However, the quality of the game is top notch and you can't argue that any developer out there wouldn't want these titles.

Nintendo tries to revolutionize the Zelda series with every reiteration. From 2D to 3D to Masks to Cell Shading, they've tried to do different things with each game to give it freshness. TP was the only one that went back to the roots of OoT as it was service to its fans. This is the main reason Zelda is so great and tough to beat. If devs want to make a Zelda killer, they have to get out of the formulas that work and try to come up with new ideas to keep their franchise fresh. You know for sure that Nintendo will always be trying to make Zelda feel new with every new title.

Zelda is a bit of a hard one to top... considering it pretty much invented the action adventure genre, and then reinvented it in 3D. Zelda has a lot of history, and therefore a lot of experience in making a quality action adventure game. I don't think it needs competition for the formula to get switched up though, it's common knowledge that the next Zelda game we see is likely ot be drastically different from the current ones.REVOLUTIONfreak
