Zelda changes

So Myiamoto has said Zelda:TP is the last zelda game of its kind. Being that a new Zelda is already being made ground up for the Wii it will have massive changes he says. I would love online like Elder Scrolls. And now that Ganondorf is finally dead and gone there needs to be a new villian. Maybe Link could go all Anakin Skywalker. I better not say that too loud Hayden Christensen might ruin that too.

Obvious Zelda changes: Online gameplay making it perpetual and open ended. More of a RPG feel. Keep the great dungeons but make the quests more complicated. A new baddie. Voice acting.

So, assuming this new Zelda makes it for the Wii around 2009, (Its already been in production for a year) and it has all of this features wouldn't it be  a huge Wii seller? I mean would that kind of a twist on the most hollowed Video game franchise not be worth the then $150- $200?

And what if they updated the Wii to 720 or 1080 like 360 updated its owners from 720 to 1080? Maybe thats too much. Who says they aren't going to put HD into it.

I think that would rock.

I meant to say Lord of the Rings, and Warcraft style. Crap, one mistake and there goes the thread. Alright well being as no one will listen now and leave jokes I might as well not check this topic again. Whoops! I meant if it was like a MMO. And I've played and beaten Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, The Finnish Cap, and A Link to the Past. Not all of them but alot. Well, no one reads past the first three posts anyway. So have your fun kiddies!darth-pyschosis

The Finnish Cap.....You'll never live it down now :)

That said, I'm also a Zelda fan, but the day it goes MMO, is the day I stop buying Zelda games. To me the Zelda series is always about a good, single player adventure---no more, no less.

Why do people want online play in every freaking game possible. Some games are just better off without it.

IMO, Nintendo already changed Zelda with Majora's Mask. Even though the gameplay was the same as other Zeldas, it had a new world to explore, Termina, instead of Hyrule, it had a different main bad guy, and the story was completely different and didn't even revolve around Zelda, but we see how that was rewarded (8.3).

But yes, I think Zelda could use a few changes to spice the franchise back up.

Online does not = upgrade.  Zelda will never made an MMO and shouldn't be... That'd freakin ruin it.  So when you say it's "obvious" that the next Zelda will be online your're completely wrong.

I would love to see a ful orchestrated soundtrack and some voice over. I wouldn't mind if they used full Japanese voice overs either, infact I prefer it. If they decide to do English voice overs, they better find some professional voice actors. I already have someone in mind for the voice of Link.16bitkevin

MMO? Now that would NOT be good for the Zelda series. When Miyamoto says big changes, I'm expecting a new villain, and hell, maybe a new character who doesn't happen to wear a green tunic and have pointy ears. That would be a massive change for sure.

But I really can't think of too much that would change Zelda greatly while still being Zelda. That's the thing with Zelda, it's established itself in nearly every gamer.. It's practically its own genre.

He never said "big changes."  He said it will be the last of its kind and he was hinting towards a wii remote controll scheme.  People are reading way too much into it.  I'm sure we will see many improvements but if they changed Zelda too drastically it would cease be as popular.  Less popular = fewer sales = won't happen.

Maybe Nintendo could step away from marketing icons and provide consumers with truely new content.  I don't understand why franchises continue into sequels that exceed the number 5 (at most).  I'd probably purchase a Wii later this gen if they released superior hardware and dropped the price into the $100-120 USD range.  But I doubt I'd purchase another Zelda game for any console.  The ports from 32-bit to digital have been poor and shallow -- more of a simple toy than a meaningful game. 

If Nintendo wishes to remain buisness savy, they should simply take a similar enginge and give the world a new texture.  Keep the dull and shallow world, boring and simple plot, and fun gameplay... just insert next textures for once.

Zelda needs a change, but I'm not sure what that change would be.spidey008

It needs to stay single player, and it needs to stay action/adventure style. A third person, action/adventure RPG would be perfect for the setting. You create your character... Hylian/Zora/Goron/etc... choose a class and occupation... and the rest can write itself.

No more rescuing Zelda... no more Master Sword... no more Ganondorf...

There is voice acting... but no English... made up languages for each race... just like Shadow of the Colossus...

The setting of the game is absolutely perfect for a single player RPG... and we definitely need more great singleplayer RPGs... seeing how as everyone is going MMO now... god... I hate MMO's...
