What would make a Zelda game better that OoT?

I really don't see it myself. Ocarina is not the best in my eyes, but it is the most popluar. What do you think would make a future Zelda better than OoT?

A better ending, an un-rushed team of programmers, and the blade beam attack.

larger, realistic overworld, 15-25 minuts to get across the entire feild,

OoT was the first 3d zelda game, which made it very special, it was the first, Now, Zelda 2005 is going to be 3D as we all know, now with the new topdown dungeon camera, this game could be the merger between 2D and 3D you catch my drift?
If so, then this game will bring something new to the table, and expland on things already praised....

just OoT² or OoT³ with more village to discover and more areas to explore and the horseback action as in zelda2005

I think that the 3D Zelda games that followed OoT already improved on the concepts of OoT and are also superior in many departments. Sure MM and WW lack a few dungeons but they have many things that OoT didn't have.

In my opinion, MM had a better, more complex story and was also more challenging in terms of solving puzzles and finding all the 24 masks etc.

I am sure Zelda2005 will be better than OoT as well. It'll be A LOT better if they actually spend some time adding more dungeons and quests. I think Miyamoto-san said in an E3 interview that they were going to focus a lot more on the puzzles and such.

I agree with Senap. And thats what I mentioned in my top post. The late Zeldas (sept for FSA) where better than OoT.

Like others said, a larger world and more quests.

I'd like a deeper, darker storyline (I know, MM had one, but the gameplay killed it for me), and being an adult the entire time.

Hmm... what does it take to be better than OoT ? any game with the title A Link to the Past could do it lol. But as for a future game, maybe more new items and creative uses for them. For Example, for the most part, items in zelda games have been best used in the dungeon they were discovered in. Not entirely, but for the most part. Plus, id really like smarter enemies. And as always, more and harder dungeons and puzzles would be nice.

lets see a better game that OOT.. maybe if the producers decided to create a great game that used the overhead setting but used it to the extreme and incorporated things such as having up to a level 4 sword and having a light and dark world! maybe you could even fight ganon in a pyramid after your friend the magic duck brings you there!! maybe they could even call it a link to the past? who knows maybe im crazy.. if you would really like to improve upon OOT just add in better bot-support [thats when the enemies are smarter and actually kill you instead of posing a minimal threat].

Um... make a better game? Like Majora's Mask, for example.

Moved to Future Zelda.

heh, the oh so powerful moderator thinks that Majora's Mask was better.. the bot support was the same, there were less dungeons, and the save system was horrible.. the graphics were slightly upgraded, but you had to pay $25 extra for the special graphics card.. Majora's Mask was horrible dude..

MM was a very good game, AND a very good zelda game, it was just short, and due to the tense atmosphere it represented, many people didnt like it. you couldnt just run around and enjoy/explore the land, becasue everything was by the clock. but it was a well-made and very challenging game.

on to this topic, i believe what a zelda game needs to make it better than OoT is something new. the isometric camera angle for the dungeons and horseback fighting will already make it a good game. but yes, it needs something new. tWW had a more fluid method of battle than OoT, but OoT was still better because the bosses were harder, and it was bigger and had more dungeons.

Z'05 will need the following things to amke it better than OoT:

1. 7-9 dungeons
2. an in depth battle system. by this i mean a lot of different variety in the enemies, and lots of ways to tackle the situation with your various items.
3. secrets need to be obvious in existance, but difficult to reach. eg. i want to see a large boulder in a wall in the first village of the game, but be unable to blow it up until about 2-5 dungeons in.
4. a complex, multi faceted story, that follows the development of more than just one character (eg. at the start of the game a little villager child is a scared coward, and towards the end he grows and matures and sticks up for himself)
5. a filled up land (by that i mean ther always has to be something of interest and landscape features. zora river for example, a linear path for sure, but it could have been much more bland than what it was. it had high parts, low parts, secrets, spatial puzzles. if the entire land had such a living perplex world with such puzzles and such, it would be an unbeatable game. hyrule feild, in comparison, was fairly flat without many interesting landscape features on the whole)

I'll make a list, I guess.

-Deeper, more interesting plot.
-A world you feel you're more a part of.
-No annoying traveling across a baren field stuff.
-Characters that seem life like.
-Lots of dungeons.
-Tough enemies and puzzles.
-Dark atmosphere with scary, jaw-dropping bosses.
-Up-grades for things.
-Cuccos.
-Funny, lively towns and characters.

There's more, but I think you all get the idea. If it's a great game, it will live up to or surpass OoT for me.

I'd like the game to be longer. Maybe as long as the Final Fantasy games.

PS- Oh, no, I said the F-word.

Hmmm. Seeing that I have WAYYYYY too much praise for OoT it's gonna be difficult for me to say what would make the '05 Zelda better than OoT. But lets see: if the make a really creative and complex story, full of a medieval and magical feeling, if they developed the characters more in-depth, then this game could be better than OoT. But it's all speculation.

I totally agree with Miniblin. Some more meaningful sidequests would be nice as well as some really difficult, optional dungeons w/hidden items at the end. Also some armor upgrades before the end of the game would be great.

I actually don't mind fewer dungeons in Zelda2005 (á la MM) as long as they are challenging (again like MM) and not terribly easy (like OoT/WW).

Good old Hyrule Field.. The field I saw in the first Zelda2005 video, when Link raises his sword, looked a little too much like the one in OoT: Barren and deserted. Harman_Stalfish is right, it needs a lot more life. It doesn't really matter if the field is huge and takes minutes to cross if it doesn't have eye-candy or life in it.

If it were called ALttP or tWW, it would be better.

Link should get married and they should make it two player like you could on Wind Waker with Tingle...

Then if you got like one heart left....

Boom... Goes a bomb that tingle dropped on the boss...

Well it's just a thought...

Wind Waker, Majora's Mask, Minish Cap, they all did it for me. OoT wasn't all that great of a game not counting the side quests. But in future I'd like to see no adult transformation at all. Be like the original Link, a child. Not in Z'05 though, as I can plainly see there's an Adult Link.
