Legend of Zelda Offical The Legend of Zelda Thread - Part 1

[Wolvieboy17]

I think Majora's Mask nailed my favourite thing about any Zelda game, followed closely by Ocarina. It was that feeling of being able to 'change' the world that I have always loved in the Zelda games. Like when you encounter a sleeping Malon's dad and you need to figure out how to solve it... Or finding an obstacle and knowing that somewhere there is a song or mask that is perfect for that situation but you need to figure out what it is.

It's things like this that I feel have been severely lacking from later Zelda games. There are either not enough of puzzles like this or the ones that are there are so obvious and hand holding that it may as well not be a puzzle at all.

I'd like to see the next Zelda game be like this in style

 

[Thundercrack85]

I would like a Zelda that took place in the future more like it went through some pseudo-Enlightment era, their would be more modern inventions mixed with the fantastical elements of the Zeldaverse. I know I'm stupid...

I do love the idea of bringing back Majora's Mask and giving it a makeover for the 3DS or better the WiiU (I can dream).

Oh I think you could make a lot work.

I've seen everything from Steampunk Zelda to futuristic Sci Fi Zelda.

There does seem to be some technological progression in the games.

I would not be surprised if we see Link packing a musket in a title some day.

Thats....amazing. Some fan made trailer I'm assuming? That style is fantastic.

It's a hoax. Hard to say much about the style without seeing what regular Link looks like though.

 

[Iceman]

When is the next Zelda game coming out?

 

[Benstamania]

Probably see it at E3 this summer. Maybe Christmas 2013 or Summer 2014.

That'd be my guess. I have a feeling we're gonna get several Zelda announcements this E3

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I really want to see what kind of Zelda they put out for the Wii U. On one hand, I love the simple, cartoon style that fits really well with Zelda. But the more realistic concept footage they showed when Wii U was announced looked fantastic. I really don't know which style I'd prefer.

 

[Thundercrack85]

After the backlash against "Celda", I doubt they'll make the next big Zelda game in that style.

Personally I would like to see a more realistic style than Skyward Sword, like what we saw in the Wii U demo. Something like that, or even more realistic.

 

[Doc Ock]

Celda? I liked Windwaker. Its style suited Zelda very well. But I do prefer the look of OOT/MM and TP.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Well the Wii U is out now... Which means we'll probably see a new Zelda in like 5 years?

I expect we'll get something this E3. Then probably 2014.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I doubt it. I'd say 2015 at the earliest. Nintendo still really need to get their **** together. I think their launch title line-up for the Wii U was pretty weak. Add that to the fact that there are no strong, confirmed first part titles like a new 3D Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Star Fox etc on the horizon (with the exception of Pikmin) they're just not doing enough to entice old Nintendo fans away from their other consoles.

 

[Doc Ock]

I don't think Nintendo has been doing enough to entice old fans for years.

They've already confirmed that they've been working on a new Zelda Title for consoles back when Skyward Sword. GoNintendo reported it a while back. I bought the WiiU for future releases anyway. You can be damn sure that we'll see new Zelda, Mario, Metroid and a slew of new stuffs at E3. Nintendo's always good at playing stuff close to their chest.

 

[Doc Ock]

I thought the new Zelda title was for the 3DS? Unless they are working on a title for both.

General rule is that they're always something for the handheld in the pipeline.

There's a Zelda for the Wii U and the 3DS in the works.

The 3DS game might come out this year.

 

[Iceman]

I think it would be a strange decision if it were any later than mid 2014. 2015 is too long to wait for a 1st Zelda wii U game.

 

[Benstamania]

I honestly don't expect Zelda U to be any later then Holiday 2013. I know I've read that they've been working on the next console title for a while now.

Majora's Mask with hopefully get a rerelease (maybe with a midnight purple 3DSXL) and maybe a ground up 3DS Zelda game as well.

 

[Iceman]

Holiday 2013 would be great. I'd expected that as the latest when I asked the question. It's THE game that can show what the wii U can do so they shouldn't wait too long after launch. I guess if they rerelease an HD version of Majora's Mask it can fill the gap to an extent.

 

[Benstamania]

MM will be a 3DS rerelease.

There's been talk about a remake of Link to the Past, a LttP sequel among others... If we a LttP remake I expect it to be a 3DS game as well. A LttP sequel however? I'd put my money on that being a console game.

As long as I don't have to wave my arms around like I'm swinging a sword/blocking with a shield I'll be a-Ok.

 

[Iceman]

A full on new Zelda game would be the best thing to see at E3 & probably the only thing that can compete with the new console announcements. I'd rather they got the big one out early and then if they want to wait 2 1/2 years or so for the one after that, fill the gap with things like these remakes. Of course they have to get it right 1st time so no point rushing it at all just to get it out.

I actually like the idea of doing all that in a Zelda game but i didn't enjoy it that much in Skyward Sword. Was a bit distracting really.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

So no new Zelda at E3

 

[Benstamania]

May see something.. Nintendo didn't want to even give a release date but work's obviously been done. So..Who knows.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I dunno, I doubt it. They announced we'd see Smash Bros, Mario, Mario Kart... If they had something or thought they'd have something, I think they would have wanted to announce that too.
