Cool idea for loz GCN!

The other day i was thinking...at the end of wind waker, **SPOILER** (sorry i dont know how to do one of those cool invisible spoiler things) when link lodges the master sword into ganondorf's head, ganon turns to stone and the sword remains in his head. Apparently, the next zelda will be a sequel to Wind Waker. If this is true, link should definately acquire the master sword by traveling back to the ancient land of hyrule and dislodging the sword from ganondorf's head. This would reawaken ganondorf, and he could be in an evil rage etc. Give me your thoughts on this...

So.. if Ganon is sealed in stone, why would Link want to remove the Master Sword and awaken him?

To get the Master Sword back to destroy another evil.

Oh, waker of winds, this is the spoiler tag: [*spoiler](text)[/spoiler]
Just remove the * to get this: cool huh?

Thanks k9doggie, and you're exactly right. Link would need the blade of evil's bane to destroy another threat of evil, and suddenly he'll be faced with TWO onslaughts of terror. It could be pretty awesome..

Need? Not necissarily. Link did not need the Master Sword to kill Shadow Link in AoL, Dethl in LA, Majora in MM, General Onox in OoS*, Venan in OoA*, Twinrova & Ganon in OoS/OoA*, and Vaati in either FS, FSA, or tMC. Link can do just fine without the Master Sword.

*Yes I know it's possible to get the Master Sword in OoS and OoA (through a linked password game), but the point is, you don't need it to defeat the villain of the game.

I see your point, but my idea was that it would be like two of the games you didnt mention, OOT and WW, and he would indeed need the master sword.

I only wish you were correct ganonlink, but unfortunately you're not. It has been confirmed in an interview with Eiji Aunoma (excuse me if i spelled that wrong) that this game will occur post-windwaker.

He never said it will be a sequel. He said it will be chronologically after Wind Waker, but he never said its relation to any other Zelda game.

Oh, ffs. Waker of winds said it best. the game will occur post-windwaker. it could be a dirct follow up, showing the same link when he is grown up (which could happen, the different art style means squat), or it could just occur some X000 years in the future. who knows.

This idea has crossed my mind before. It is a really good idea, except that it seems Link would have to be very dumb to pull the Master Sword out of Gannondorf. There would have to be an even greater evil, so evil, that the trade off of releasing Gannon would be worth it.

Speaking of cool ideas, someone on the forum at gcadvanced.com had a pretty neat idea that I liked. The theme of the game would be draining the great ocean more and more throughout the game, revealing new land. Controlling the depth of the Ocean would an original and interesting theme.

And you forgot ALttP, but that's not the point. The point is, Link does not need the Master Sword to defeat the main villain. He's defeated Ganon with the Noble Sword (OoS/OoA) and with the Four Sword (FSA). And who knows if Ganon is going to appear in Zelda'05, all I was trying to say is it doesn't matter what sword Link uses, because we've seen he's still capable of defeating Ganon (and other villains) without the Master Sword.

Yes, to BigGoronSword you listen!

that is the lamest idea i've ever heard! why in the hell would Link take the master sword to kill one evil if it meant releasing an even greater evil? thats a horrible idea. link is not that stupid to release ganon, because then there would be two villans that he'd need to vanquish. why not just find another sword? waker of winds, you were done before you even started!

It seems like we all forgot the begining sequences of FSA. Link pulled out the Four Sword to kill Shadow Link, and he knew the consequences of Vaati being released. I don't think Link is dumb, he just wasn't prepared to battle at that time (he didn't have a sword to kill Shadow Link, who he thought at the time, was the person who kidnapped the Maidens).

Plus releasing Ganon to defeat another evil is the same concept used in FSA (releasing Vaati to defeat Shadow Link)...I don't think Nintendo is dumb enough to use the exact same concept again for another game (other than the recuring concept of a Hero out to destroy the Villain and recovering important items (triforce shards, musical instruments, jewels, etc...)).

Actually In Ocarina of time you didn't need the master sword, the Big Goron Sword did the job much faster. In A Link to the Past and Wind Waker there was no other sword at your disposal. If Link did release Ganon to destroy another evil, Ganon could fuse with the other evil. Link could also pull it without knowing, there would be a sword in the ground and Link would pull it, it's just that the stone Ganon was buried under all the dirt so Link didn't know he was releasing ganon. Frankly, I'm hoping the game has nothing to do with all this stuff about getting the master sword and such. I wouldn't care if the master sword was obtainable but I don't want the sword to be an important part in the game.

Go fight the final bosses of OoT again. See if you can do so without using the Master Sword once. Go on. Try it

I would but currently I'm not even past Dodongo's cavern so if anybody would try for me I would be much obliged, or you can all be freaks and leave me to play through the whole game again.

As far as I know, you can fight the battle against Ganondorf/Ganon using the Biggoron Sword, but you must use the Master Sword at the end to deliver the killing blow after Zelda uses her magic to stun Ganon.

Exactly. Any old sword can harm Ganon, but only the Master Sword can defeat him.
