If you could create the next Zelda game story.....

What would it be like and what would happen. write as much detail as you want because I will read every single one that has been sent. think about it

Hm... my own Zelda... Well, I'd really leave it to the masters, but maybe another Link-Ganon thing because I'm original that way. I'd stick in it the Tokays, Subrosians, Maku Tree, and all my friends from OoA & OoS because I loved those games. Perhaps Ganon raiding those lands and Link has to defend them once again. And maybe Onox and Vernan appear again. Or not. Link would be told to go there because Zelda had another dream. It'd be in Cel-Shading, and I don't care which system it'd be for, if that matters. Link would be young Link. And... uh... LOT'S AND LOT'S OF MINIBLINS!! WITH A GIANT MINIBLIN BOSS!!!

Is that good?

Yeus it should.

*moves*

I do believe that this is what we have the fan fiction forum for. My game idea (heh) is already there. Click the link in my sig if you don't believe me.

Anyway, here's the lowdown:

Link (a citizen of a small forest village) learns that his uncle, who has been missing for eight years, was actually sent on a mission to find the Seven descendants of the Sages, the Seven Maidens. However, his uncle failed in this quest, and the minions of evil have overrun the sacred temples. Soon Hyrule will face a war as terrible as the dark Imprisoning War. Their only hope is to free the Seven Maidens and rally the armies of Hyrule to march against the Dark Ones.

- - On the main fic page it's 'The Legend of Zelda: Revisited" - check it out!

Anyway, I came up with this idea because I feel that Zelda games are losing the 'epic' feel that OoT had as far as storyline, and that's why I'm writing my story. With Four Swords and even Wind Waker, I didn't feel that the storyline had anything to do with the game at all - in fact, the games had more to do with completing tasks one by one until the game is over. I liked OoT because the story drove the game, rather than the game driving the story.

Majora's Mask was my favorite Zelda game in terms of story-game relationship. You could really connect with each of the characters, especially the ones in the Bomber's Notebook, because many of them were instrumental in game completion. However, in Four Swords, there was little character interaction, which was disappointing. And in the Wind Waker, there was more of a storyline, but you could easily have beaten the game without paying mcuh attention to what was going on.

Read my fic to see what kind of storyline I'D like to see in the future.

I'd create a game that was little more mature than your standard Zelda game, perhaps pitting Hyrule against another kingdom instead of it just being Ganon and his minions. I'd also involve the Triforce more than it has been done before in any other game. I'd also have my multiple sword/weapon system as well as several mountable animals and other such vehicullar contraptions. I'd even like to see Link get some help, certainly in a kingdom as mighty as Hyrule Link can't be the only one there able/willing to resist evil - whether or not that would mean you could control other characters or they would just be bots is still iffy, I think it would be cool to have more RPG elements to the games but then some would think it isn't Zelda so they'd most likely have to be AI controlled allies.

My game would have actual battles, not just mere skirmishes between Link and few foes, where friends and foes lay siege to cities that are very destructable. Hundreds of characters you can meet and talk to in an environment more open and explorable than ever before.

Obviously I'd like my game to take full advantage of Revolution's hardware and specs would indicate the new systems could easily do a game like what I've described so far. Can't wait to see what Nintendo actually comes up with themselves.

This is similar to the RPG I'm doing at my forums. Wumpi Chan and I thought it all up.

I would make it like 5,000 years after OOT, with some small changes to the same Hyrule. An evil member of the royal family does some major crime or something, and he is banned from Hyrule to the desert. There he meets a highly skilled desert tribe, and maybe 5 years later he gains full respect from the tribe, and he decides to get his revenge on the royal family, so they assassinate every member of the royal family. So there is no royal family, so the Triforce goes all corrupt-like because the royal family holds it together or something. Like the Triforce used to resist evil, but now it accepts it, so basically, the evil dude gets the Triforce, and kills the tribe and says they killed the royal family. The Hylians beleive him and makes him King because of his previous ties to the family. Then like a week later he senses like the only power between him and conquering the world; Ganon (who is in his Ganondorf form all the time, but full Ganon power, because a monster just wouldnt look right in this game), who just came back to life, or whatever, and he's fighting Link's ancestor, who is like really skilled too. They both fight for a while and they're really tired and everything, so the evil dude arrests them both with ease, with a soon execution date. While in prison, Link and Ganon form an alliance, sort of like how Piccolo and Goku formed an alliance at the very beginning of DragonBallZ, but of course, Ganon stays evil at the end. So they break out of the prison and soon learn that the goddesses are become corrupt aswell, because of the evil in the Triforce. So Link and Ganon go on a quest to each goddesses' shrine to... uncorrupt them, I guess, by facing trials and stuff. They do the first 2 alright, and then on the third they do the trials but as soon as they get to speak with that goddess, she goes evil. She's about to kill everything when the other two goddesses show up and hold her back. They tell Link and Ganon to find the one surviving heir (who is like a little kid) to the throne, and take him to the castle. So, they do so (not easily, of course, they have to do alot of crap to find him) and go to the castle to destroy the evil dude once and for all (who is really strong because he has all of the Corrupt Triforce's power). So they fight and in the end the heir helps somehow, giving them some kind of magic power or something. So they win, and a few weeks later the heir is on the throne again, and Ganon bids his farewell to Link, saying they still had a score to settle one day, though. Link says he is looking forward to it, Ganon leaves Hyrule, and Link gets some sort of cool position in the Hyrule Castle. I was thinking maybe the heir was Link's long lost brother or something, and Link becomes his bodyguard to watch over him, and the heir doesn't remember him or something but that really doesn't fit...

:eek: :eek: :eek: WOW those are really good idears! (if I spelt that right) and dont worry I have looked at every single one. Hmmmmmmm if I could make one I would :rolleyes: make it just like the four swords but you can create your own Links and colour and stuff. Even there voice!. Also it would be based in the Hyrule in the wind waker.

i agree with WiNdDjInNbOy 100%
