Turining into an animal in LoZGC

As I'm sure many of you have read in the roundtable, there was a rumor about being able to turn into animals in LoZGC. This rumor (i think) has been proven false. But, wouldn't it be cool? I mean, becoming a rat and going through tunnels or something looking for items. Or becoming a wolf and killing enimies. I think it would be awsome. What do you guys think?

That would change it too much. Adventurer posted also about how this would change the game too much and how it wouldn't be like a classic Zelda.

This is also the third copy of the roundtable post. They said no copying

Its not a copy, I just refered to it

Yeh I guess that would be cool but it might be to much like MM, and it would take away from the classic Zelda adventure.

I am fairly sure the actual rumour was something along the lines of an item, some sort of reins I believe, that could be used to transform the horse into other animals who could transport you in different ways, such as an eagle. Personally I am not sure if I would like this in a Zelda, transforming into different races was fun in MM, but I am not sure what it would be like with the horse. Or if Link himself changed into animals.

I think a good alternative is to be able to control animals(not turn into them) with some item you get or something, if they did something like that most poeple would be okay with it.

Maybe controling the seagulls in WW was a heads up in that respect.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I heard the rumor. True or not (which it isn't) I still think that would have been a cool concept. I mean, what else can Link do? He's traveled through time, changed seasons, and changed himself by turning into different races. If you can turn yourself into different races, I see no reason why people don't like the idea of turning into different animals (once again, if the rumor was true).

Yea, the seagulls might have been a clue, as SwordsMan X said. Mabey an arrow you shoot at an animal lets you control it?

i like the idea! it would be cool to turn into an animal like a wolf. i would like to see a beaver or moose lol!

beaver or moose...are you perhaps canadian?[like me!] as these are symbols of canada eh? controlling animals...if it happened only to a certain extent and you wouldnt be able to control ANY animal you see [oh yeah SHOOT THE SQUIRRELL WITH A MIND CONTROL ARROW!!!] and also it wouldnt be a weopon you shoot at them it would probably be special bait like in WW... nintendo likes to please the little kis and shooting innocent animals with a weopon is hardly the thing little kids would want to see

Errr. Something like that would make that game simply NOT Zelda. Enough with the tranformation thingy. It was OK for Majora's Mask, but please no more. Link turning into a wolf to kill enemies, turning into a rat to crawl through tunnels???? C'mon, you gotta be kidding. Link is a medieval hero not an indian shaman (sp?). But anyway, it was proven false so it doesn't matter.

Ok, yea the wolf thing isn't right but after the complete sucses of the transformations in MM. Ok when I started swiming as a Zora, It was Like Learning to move in a 3d video game all over again.
It should be atempted once more, but kept original and zelda-esqu.
Ok, so there are medevil examples of turning into animals, pagan cults used to do crazy stuff like that, and if there's something I'd like to see in Zelda, It's the cults building these temples. Like the shadow temple and the Sheikan. There was some crazy stuff there that they could have gotten into.

Whoah. wouldnt it be awesome to beat a temple based on wolfos (Wolfos den?), w/ different wolfos types all in the dungeon then you fight a Wolfos boss, take his soul and then use it to become a wolfos? you could do that with almost any zelda animal Remeber Roam form the LttP comics? There could be a Eagle temple and at the end you could go "Roam". A Dinolfos Form would rule too

I think it would be great. The thing i must worry about new zelda games is repetativeness. Several times I walk into the lair of a boss and ask myself "Haven't I beaten you before?" Or I come to a puzzle and think "now, how did i complete this in OoT?"

Yes, i want to keep it as classic zelda, but my understanding of classic zelda is that there is something majorly different from the previous games. Oot had the ocarina of time, mM had the transforming masks, WW had a talkling boat.

Why can't Zelda 05 be more to do with transforming into, possessin or riding different beasts. Then, so that people don't spend the whole game as a wolf with a horn in their forehead, it drains your magic meter.

i still think its a bad idea so im not even going to comment on that last post...

It would be a good Idea..but I would just be a wolf continuisly (spl?)
