A little intense with the espoilers, I know.

EDIT: The intent is to post your ideas, and then I will put them all in this post. So like a master list of ideas.

Umm.... there's nothing in these spoiler boxes...

I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to convey here...? We already have a weapons idea thread though. Are you suggesting we post snippets of our ideas in a similar spoiler box manner? Could you please go into further detail?

He wants to come up with ideas for everything I believe

im saying that you post ur ideas and then the op is the master list. sorry my intention was not conveyed well.

Game Mechanics:

Bring back the picking up of enemy weapons but instead of

Any idea I could come up with is just a refined Idea of something that has already been done. I have tried its hard to come up with a completely new good idea.

Sling shot seeds for fire and ice over arrrows (more slingshot use is good plus it makes more sense, gasha seeds OoA anyone.)

Elegy of emptiness + dominion rod
Controls link statue, who has no items spare his mirror shield (light puzzles), Can not burn or be electrified or drown for he is a statute. Fails after a successful hit against teh statue, thus use of shield bash. It could make some interesting puzzles. Plus imagine using this with time shift stones or other extra mechanics.

Power Mits
Power bracelets + Mole mits (Not digging mits)
Digging is similar to wolf from TP , Automatically equips when picking up a stone. Includes digging similar to mogma mits and mole mits. Ect

I will edit more in later.

Okay, so pretty much using whatever instrument you might have you will play the song Elegy of emptiness. However, it differs from the MM statue for a few reasons:
1. Without multiple forms you could only make 1 statue.
2. It can be controlled with dominion rod in a similar manner to the statues in TP and WW (the former using the command melody song). The statue would have no weapons spare a copy of your current shield. So using the mirror shield you could perform light puzzles similar to those in WW using medly. Because it is a statue it cannot be electrified or burnt and does not require air to breathe so it can stay underwater indefinatley.
That said the statue is heavy and will sink in water and be able to stand up against wind, similar to having the iron boots attached. If it takes a solid hit, it will break and you would lose control over it. The time period you can control the statue would last about 1 minute.

Is that better?

As soon as I heard this I immediately thought: That would be

I would personally love a chess themed dungeon. It would have a tp temple of time atmosphere probably. There would be 4 unique enemies in it:

The Pawn: An enemy essentially like the bokoblins in ss.

The Knight: Similar to a lizalfos, it would mostly evade your attacks and jump around.

The Bishop: Essentially a stylized wizrobe from ww that couldn't fly. It would teleport around and shoot magic at you. It can also create shields of its element to block attacks.

The Rook: A slightly toned down Darknut. It is slow but can take a lot of hits and hit hard, and it can also parry your attacks like a stalfos from ss.

Each of these enemies would also have 2 subtypes, white and black. For example, the Black Bishop would use ice magic while the white one would use fire. Also, the Rooks would use different weapons.

These enemies would be mostly what you face in dungeons, with maybe some keese and beemos and the such.

There will be 2 minibosses, the White Queen and the Black Queen. Each Queen would be a mix of the best parts of the Rook and the Bishop with more health. They would act like a faster Rook of their color that could teleport and use magic and crete shields of their Bishops color. They each give you an arrow typw of their opposite element, fire or ice. These can be used on an opposite element Bishop or Queen (fire to black or ice to white) to deal a lot of damage.

The Dungeons puzzles would consist of strategy puzzles that involve thinking on the correct series of moves to get the desired result, such as block puzzles and switch puzzles, and puzzles involving freezing/burning things: Torch puzzles, burning webs, freezing water to create platforms, etc.. It would also have a fair amount of chess references. For example, you would get the boss key by taking out an entire side of a chess board, involving, each half being a different color and 2 queens rather than a queen and a king.

The boss would be 2 simultaneous bosses, a white and black king, who are 2 rather large sword wielders (like odolwa or demise) who can use magic, are weak to fire or ice, and can summon enemies of their color.

*facepalm* sorry i hadn't gotten to that part of majora's mask yet

^What does that have to do with Zelda?

I think that they should bring back the ball and chain from TP. It was very fun to use, just too heavy.

A boss: Gleeock. An argorock/helmorock king size style boss. It has 4 heads that can each shoot a type of energy that can be reflected by the mirror shield: fire and ice( opposites), dark and light (opposites). You have to use the double clawshots and maybe the rocs cape to chase it around a series of islands and pillars in the sky as it tries to attack you from a distance using gusts of winds, energy beams, and the such. When you get close, you either stun it by hitting a head with the opposite element and then climbing onto its back. You then scale the beast while it's flying and use your sword to cut off one of its heads (he head will still fly around and attack you).

Once you've cut off all of the heads, It becomes a skeleton (like in oos) and you use your sword to cut up his body while the heads still attack you. the more body parts you cut up, the more erratic his movements and attacks become. When he's completely destroyed, you win.
