What do you think about the next Legend of Zelda for Wii?

If you would like to discuss the upcoming Zelda game for the Wii then this is the place for you. What do you think the title, plot, or anything else would be? Remember, don't be afraid to speak your mind!

Welcome to my forum!

Hard to tell when we haven't even seen a single screenshot. From everything I've gathered this Zelda will be very different but nothing too drastic.

And...nice first post.

Thanks! I am really interested in the new Zelda game. I think it just going to be awesome.

ST might be an experiment in multiple character control. ZWii might take this a step further with the MS girl.

It's quite difficult to tell what it's going to be about when we've only seen one piece of art work so far. I believe it's gonna be great, all Zelda games are in their own way, so I'll just wait and see for now.

The girl in the poster with Link will obviously be a major part of the story. It also could be MM's sequel, but maybe that's just me dreaming. I'd be extremely happy if it was a MM sequel.

I am pretty sure you guys have seen the official artwork for Zelda Wii. I've read so many rumors about the blue figure being The Master Sword. I personally don't believe this but for all we know now, the blue figure could be.

Really, we've done this alot on this whole forum. Before all of this rapid Spirit Tracks news started coming out, Zelda Wii was really all we discussed. So I've already spoken my mind enough, however, I will give a short response in what I want in Zelda Wii.

I want a better attempt at a darker tone. TP was not as dark as advertised.

I want Nintendo to get creative with Wii Motion PLus, but at the same time, don't get carried away and add things in the game just because they can. (For example, please don't make us use the Wii Balance Board)

I want more interesting characters.

I want an engaging storyline, with the dark tone mentioned above, and I want to care about the people involved.

I want a badass villain whom I am motivated to go defeat.

I want voice acting.

I want something more than the generic dungeon-to-dungeon formula with the one plot twist in between. Include multiple plot twists and maybe some mini-dungeons and more non-dungeon missions. Not that I don't like the dungeons, but I just want more.

Speaking of dungeons, i want more unique and difficult puzzles inside the dungeons.

I also want more unique boss battles. PH did this very well, if you want an example.

More sidequests with useful rewards.

Epic music.

More unique items instead of just the generic bow and arrows, boomerang, hookshot, etc.

More threatening enemies and bosses.

-----

In sum, I want the game to be more unique than previous titles, more difficult than recent ones, and a more epic and engaging storyline than previous games. Hopefully, Nintendo is not afraid to do these things.

Well. Since he wants to know what I think...I may as well make a new over analyzing observation. This picture it suppose to sum up the major themes of the game...maybe. The fact that Link has his back to us in the drawing...,though this is over doing it, may mean that he's hiding something that we the players can't see. OoOoh. He could have a major scar or...or anything. >_>

<_<

zeldablue: Maybe Link's a woman :XD! Seriously though that could just be to give the girl a more prominent position in the picture.

Myk: Aren't the Spinner, Dominion Rod, Ball and Chain, and Double Clawshots new and unique items?

Lol. Yeah. xD But Link's been back to back many times. He always shows his front in some way. I'm just...overanalyzing is all. No ones pointed it out, though I really don't think Link is hiding his boobies.

Never said they weren't...

But you've got to know what i mean. Most Zeldas basically feature the same weapons. A large reason why I liked the Minish Cap was because the generic Zelda items (the bow and the boomerang) were downplayed compared to the new items you get in the dungeons (gust jar, mole claws, pacci's cane, rocs cape).

Now I'm not saying Zelda Wii should exclude those items. I mean, there's no way the bow and arrow would be excluded from this one after we got a nice preview of how it could work in Wii Sports Resort. I just think there should be additional unique items along with the ones we're used to seeing.

zeldablue: I would laugh so hard if this game's Link turned out to be a woman. Although he doesn't look like one(in terms of facial features) so...we'll just have to see.

Well if Link's sword can turn into a girl, why can't Link? I smell speculation!

Myk: I was thinking more along the lines of Link being reborn as a girl. To make a thread or not to make a thread. That is the question.

I'd be pretty upset. :C

On the subject of Link. I'm already a bit upset that his clothes look like TP's...can't we get some new character models here Nintendo...Miyamoto already said this isn't TP Link. So I'm really hoping it's somehow a reintroduction to OoT/MM Link...I mean look at that nose. And that HAIR!

If this is a new Link, I'll be periodically ticked off. Not because I'm a OoT/MM fanboy, but because I really don't like how they make new Links that look exactly the same and say "It's a new guy!" I remember in 2004 everyone was convinced TP Link was either OoT Link or the adult TWW Link. Everyone was pretty POed when they said it was a new Link. Haha. xD

This one does look like OoT/MM Link though.

zeldablue: I say the resemblance is not because he's the same one but OOT Link's dad. Anyway what is wrong with Link being a girl for once? It would be a fresh spin on things. Although I don't wanna see a Prince Zelda.

According to the picture, I think Link is entering somewhere. The blue figure has me stumped. If you look in the backgrond, it shows orange. Could that be something related to Death Mountain? I've also noticed that Link is looking back at the figure waiting for her to come. Through my eyes, it looks like as if the blue figure is some-what sad. I've noticed that Link has grown to (according to Miyamoto's statement of Link being older than ever).

Zeldamaster: I interpret that as Link protecting the figure from something that's rushing at them. Maybe a swarm of enemies that are burning a village as they go. Although there seems to be a stone archway on the sides. Maybe they're entering someplace(probably a place we've never seen before).

Oni Dark Link, I think thats a great theory! Your idea of the place we've never seen before could probably be some kind of refuge for them.
