Jam Stunna Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Gotta say I'm dying for a 2-D Zelda game like Minish Cap, but that's never going to happen is it? That would be great, I love Minish Cap. Also, I'm keeping my expectations for this game extremely low until Nintendo proves that Wii Motion Plus functionality will not suck.

Schwaltzvald Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I can't say I've played Spirit Tracks but I'm envisioning these "evil trains" something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadofsky Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Tenchi Muyo! actually ends with him marrying all of the girls, No wonder I never saw the ending on Toonami... On the topic at hand, I think they need to quit trying to follow the formula of Ocarina of Time, they've done it enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkspast Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 If they stop using the OOT formula then what do they do? I mean what is the OOT formula? Are we talking about the play style (3rd person find temple, get item, kill boss, get heart, find next temple... ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Shadow Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 i'd consider playing an FPZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendragoon Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I say Nintendo should just put LoZ into whatever the heck they can: Zelda Kart, Zelda Pinball, Zelda Tactics - in other words, just annoy the Belgium out of the fanboys who want to keep Zelda in the same OoT formula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Odyssey Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 If they stop using the OOT formula then what do they do?I mean what is the OOT formula? Are we talking about the play style (3rd person find temple, get item, kill boss, get heart, find next temple... ...) First three temples, get master sword, following temples (however many plus final), Ganon boss = OoT formula. Since they are going to be using Wii MotionPlus, I am excited, because the swordplay in Wii Sports Resort got frustratingly difficult at the end of the Reverse stages, and that's what we need to do: get frustrated at Zelda once again.

Thalzon Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'd totally go for a Zelda Kart. Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Impa, Tingle, Vaati, Midna, and Linebeck. PERFECT. Zelda Tactics wouldn't be too bad either, if it really mixed in the mythos to the combat mechanics. EDIT: And what you call the "OoT formula" was around in Link to the Past as well. So, maybe they've been using the same formula since 1993. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could use the stereotypical Zelda items as powerups. Gerudo Valley, Hyrule Castle, Lost Woods for courses... are you listening, Nintendo? The fanboys would either hate it and rant about it angrily in their some random forum or they'd love it and try to figure out in which period in the Zelda mythos were Link and company riding around in Go Karts.

The Damned Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Well, they never tried to fit the Smash Bros series into the Zelda timeline, so I don't think they will bother. Mind you, any true Zelda fanboy would make it fit, so get on it, fanboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutericator Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Thanks, you just saved me from watching/reading those last bits.I'm not being sarcastic, I really am thanking you. I just can't bare to watch anymore of that series. The last movie and the spin-offs ruined it for me. I just saved hours of watching crap! Pretty much. It's funny, but convoluted as shit because they tried to fit too much into eight episodes. I do recommend Isekai, though. It's pretty awesome and only has passing (glaringly obvious) references to the original OVA series. Off topic, I tried watching Tenchi Muyo Universe just to see what the series is all about, but Tenchi's voice turned me off in the first episode.Then there was that one villain with the laughably small glasses (how does he use them???)... There's Tenchi Muyo, and Tenchi Universe. Muyo has the villain (Kagato) with the hilariously small glasses. He's pretty awesome, and you're a loser for not watching more. Well, they never tried to fit the Smash Bros series into the Zelda timeline, so I don't think they will bother. Interestingly enough, Namco put some effort into explaining Link's existence in Soul Calibur II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Zelda Kart? WTF not? But do it right - First of all, do it in a chibi style that differentiates itself from the actual series so that it retains its integrity. Do it as a high-end Wii Ware title. Have an online mode like Mario Kart Wii. Don't give it crappy, rubber-band AI and item mechanics like Mario Kart Wii. And it would be cool, I think. Maybe.

Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Possible tracks would include: Outset Island Faron Woods Goron Mine Castle Town Avenue Woodfall Swamp Termina Raceway Water Temple Lost Woods Romani Ranch(complete with aliens and cows) Lake Hylia Tal Tal Heights Misery Mire Water Temple(would be everyone's most hated track) Forsaken Fortress Dodongo's Cavern Tower of The Gods Twilight Realm Tower of Hera Temple of Seasons Turtle Rock(with a cameo by a koopa troopa) Ambi's Tower Martha's Bay Animal Village Sacred Realm Hyrule Castle Sewers Death Mountain Great Palace Thieve's Town Snowhead Gerudo Desert Arbiter Grounds Subrosia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalcyonSpirit Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 WindWaker was awesome, except for one thing - NOT ENOUGH LAND!!! Yeah, there weren't enough large tracts of land. ... What? I like admiring the sights on horseback in TP! Seriously, I can appreciate the feeling they were going for with the open, empty ocean, but still... it was too empty. Nothing to admire, nothing to help the time pass. That's a problem with oceans in generally, actually, but having more islands, and larger ones, viewable all the way from the horizon would have made it a lot more tolerable. Incorporating the large distances into some kind of strategy for something would have also helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Items: Din's Fire - A wave of fire that rolls along the track. If it strikes a racer, makes their engine overheat and they can't boost or whatever. Nayru's Love - A shield weapon. Durr. Farore's Wind - A cyclone offers the user a speed boost. Deku Nut - Screen flashes white for all other racers, temporarily blinding them. Bee in a Bottle - Messes up the the racer it hits, making the racer veer from side to side and otherwise act erratically on their own. Fairy - Quick recovery from landing in hazards. Skull Hammer - Sends out a shockwave that sends surrounding racers airborne. Boomerang - Can be used multiple times to hit other racers and sweep the racetrack for another item. Fire Arrows - Shoots arrows that make other racers spin out and overheat. Ice Arrows - Shoots arrows that make other racers freeze. Light Arrows - Shoots arrows that blind other racers. Bombchu - Explosive that follows the racer ahead of the user and explodes on contact. Bomb - Explosive that is thrown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 The main problem with The Wind Waker was that Hyrule was a massive disappointment. What? We get to go to a couple of temples down here? Sweet-- No, the only way in is from the ocean. Oh. Shrink down the empty ocean, maybe get rid of some of the reefs and pointless islands, and expand Hyrule a bit. That would've been perfect. So anyway...if the next Zelda ends up a little disappointing, they'd better not even hint at something cool that isn't part of the game. Not that The Wind Waker was disappointing.

The Author Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Interestingly enough, Namco put some effort into explaining Link's existence in Soul Calibur II. If I remember correctly, it was all due to an evil wizard, and would have happened after OoT. Hell, it could even be canonical in the Windwaker universe. Link returned from Termina, he just didn't return from Soul Calibur 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
