The Legend of Zelda Series

I have no idea how they'll be done, they haven't shown any off yet.

Suffice to say, no one's really excited to play the Zelda games any time soon.

Yeah, the DS Zelda games are kind of in a similar situation where, if Nintendo scraps touch controls, they won't be playable in the future. Though touch controls have shown to have a longer life span than motion controls, so I imagine Nintendo will find it worthwhile to keep them around in the future.

What would you guys think of a 16-bit WiiWare Zelda, done in the style of throwbacks like Mega Man 9?

I'm all for it, honestly.

I'll never turn down traditional Zelda.

I'll never turn down traditional Zelda.

Who said it would be traditional?

Though I personally wouldn't be opposed to a turn-based Zelda RPG spinoff on a handheld.

I've wanted a Paper Zelda for a long time. No idea why they can't do that, actually.

Do you literally mean with paper graphics? Can't say I agree there. It's too much like Mario. Plus, that's better for a sillier light hearted series like Mario.

By the way, this was such a lie.



That game would've been a perfect ending to the Master Sword, if it were the last time the sword is ever used.

Yes, and Minish Cap would have been good for the first appearance of Link's cap, but no, Nintendo had to make another earlier game in the timeline.

Yeah, Minish Cap was a good symbolic origin story. It's the type of thing Nintendo doesn't typically do and I applaud their execution if that game's story. Then Skyward Sword had to come along and make things completely literal.

They should do what I recommended and show us the world that existed before SS. Then they could reveal that there was a Hyrule eons before the one founded in Skyward Sword. Then, they can retcon Minish Cap to be the first game on the timeline.

All they really had to do was have Link not have a cap in SS and it would have been fine. I mean, the Link in the legendary tale in Minish Cap didn't have a cap, so it would have worked out fine.

They probably feel like they can't ever have a game staring anything but a Link wearing the complete green tunic. In fact, if they ever make a MC prequel staring that Link, I wouldn't be surprised if they gave him a cap.

Fuck yeah.

Actually I'd love to see the series sprinkled with a bit more humor here and there, it'd be a fun and unique take for it. Probably the "funniest" Zelda game to date would be Wind Waker (although I do remember a couple of instances in Majora's Mask that were pretty funny, like the King of Ikana squabbling with his henchmen), and that's not really saying a whole lot.

I finally started ALBW today.

I love these orchestral remixes of ALttP's soundtrack.

Hope you like it!

I got to the second world (haven't had much of a chance to play it since the day I started it). So far I've been having a lot of fun with it. The only thing that I'm not sure about is that (spoiler alert) the plot seems to revolve around the idea that Ganon was sealed away at the end of ALttP, when in fact he was clearly destroyed. As if that weren't enough, he was resurrected in the Oracle games, and then killed again. So when this game begins, he should be as dead as can be, not sealed.

That aside, the game is great so far. I'll give you my full thoughts once I beat it.
