I would actually say that Majora's Mask had the best NPC development because of all the sidequests where you helped people.

 

[Grommers]

Really? I never found I remembered any of the characters though, i hope they return to it in future zelda games though and build more on those characters.

 

[Mogwai]

it would be kind of cool to have another game set in termina.

 

[Grommers]

or even the hyrule from that game.

The new stuff just doesnt do it for me like those games did.

 

[Mogwai]

the n64 was good to the zelda series, very good.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

or even the hyrule from that game.

The new stuff just doesnt do it for me like those games did.

Hyrule Field in OoT was annoying. Other than the Peahats (child), Stalchildren (child night), and Poes (adult), there was nothing there. And traveling it as a child was annoying since you didn't have Epona. MM made it easier with the Bunny Hood mask.

 

[CWP]

atleast the dark world part....think about it, Dark World...everything in hyrule went to s***. everything was now dark a crazy.

Just described what Twilight Princess was there, basically. With the Twilight Realm, I mean.

Kakariko was destroyed...hyrule castle gone...the forest went to hell. the desert was a crazy storm....lake hylia was filled with oil...i mean it seriously looked like Hyrule turned into Hell.

Just described what Ocarina of Time was there, basically. Kakariko was on fire, Hyrule Castle was replaced with Ganon's Tower just like the Pyramid of Power, the forest was being terrorized and overrun by monsters, and Lake Hylia was dry.

Most of the Zelda games have borrowed from A Link to the Past's excellent formula, with the exception of unique titles such as Majora's Mask and Phantom Hourglass. Ocarina of Time pulled it off best, I think.

And traveling it as a child was annoying since you didn't have Epona. MM made it easier with the Bunny Hood mask.

With the Bunny Hood? Tell me that isn't all you used. That's slower than Epona, which is slower than rolling as a Goron.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

With the Bunny Hood? Tell me that isn't all you used. That's slower than Epona, which is slower than rolling as a Goron.

I used those, too. Mostly the Goron roll unless Epona was necessary (which was pretty much never).

Yeah, I loved Majora's Mask. I remember I did the quest for the Couples Mask and screwed up right at the very end. The controller went flying afterwards.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I thought the final boss in MM was a let down. Maybe it's because I used Fierce Deity and just made him my *****.

 

[CWP]

I used those, too. Mostly the Goron roll unless Epona was necessary (which was pretty much never).

Epona was necessary to race the Gorman brothers to win the Garo's Mask, plus you couldn't enter Great Bay Coast or Ikana Canyon without her.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I would consider 3 times pretty much never. Though in OoT everything you needed her for was optional. TP was the complete opposite.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Yeah. He probably would have been a challenge if it weren't for that.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I would consider 3 times pretty much never. Though in OoT everything you needed her for was optional. TP was the complete opposite.

If you couldn't enter certain areas at all without her, I wouldn't.

Either way, I loved all the horseback combat in TP.. I hope they incorporate that again into the next one.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I'd like to see a dungeon where you need to have Epona to fight the boss. The only key you collect is the boss key and you have to solve puzzles to activate elevators, gates, conveyor belts, etc. to get Epona from the entrance to the boss room.

 

[Grommers]

I think that would work, but they would need to fix like, if epona runs in a wall, it just stops, you have to back-up etc....this could really be a problem since i'm guessing the boss is chasing you. The only thing I could see is if you were chasing the boss it not being a problem since, turning around while riding etc would be quite hard.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

They could make it an open area like the Ganondorf fight in TP was. Or have Epona on a set track and you just control how fast she goes.

 

[SuperAl]

god i miss Zelda games, tho i would always get into the habit of nearly beating it but then stopping near the end because i didn't wanna end the game .

Oot was the only reason i bought n64 and i ended up buyin a gamecube for twilight princess. Only reason id consider buying a wii would have to be for a Zelda game. However i dont like the cartoonish ones, their decent games but i like my Links to be more mature.

 

[Grommers]

Well, windwaker didnt do as well as they had hoped with the cartoon look. So they reverted back to the more mature look for the consoles, and the cartoon look for the ds. Seems to work out great imo. I saw a screenshot of Majoras Mask and it makes me want to play it so bad. I remember the first mission to get the Ocarina I found to be harder than the rest of the game haha. I'm gonna download it on virtual console as soon as I beat OoT again

It seems that Zelda Wii might appear on E3 2010:

The mastermind behind Nintendo's Legend Of Zelda series has revealed that development on the new Wii version of the game is “well underway” – and that he is hopeful of being able to show the game off at E3 next year.

Speaking in the January issue of Official Nintendo Magazine, Eiji Aonuma said that the firm was already in the process of creating “scenarios, dungeon-making and so on”.
He added that the game was already working with MotionPlus and that his team had “already got a very solid response” from the technology.

He said: “You may be under the impression that we are still only in the early stages of development – [but] in fact we are well into the making of the game…
"Our team has been working on making the building blocks regarding the action – the scenarios, dungeon-making and so on. We are well underway.
He added: “I hope that we can show you something at the E3 show next year and it is something we are hopeful will be surprising.”

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Game won't come out till 2012 though.

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

Why?

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It's Nintendo. Their games are always getting delayed. Twilight Princess was revealed at E3 2004 and didn't come out till 2006 when the Wii launched.

 

[DACrowe]

But it was delayed for the luanch. I'm hoping Christmas 2011. I mean that would be a good 5 years in between Zelda games.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It was going to come out Summer that year and then they pushed it back.
