ZELDA MMORPG

I wish Nintendo would get their online act together. Just think......Zelda Online! You could pick your character from Hylians, Gerudo, Gorons, kokori or Zoras, everyone starts with a race specific class (Hylians-paiges, Zoras-fishlings, Gerudo-pickpocket, Goron-tunneler, kokori-tree tender) and then as you become more skilled you get to branch out into mages, warriors or traders. If they decide to do this somewhere in the future there are some things I'd like to see-
1.Horses!
2.Building your own house
3.Owning a ship if they include the hyrule ocean
4. Sieges
5. Tunics
6. Hyrule field the size of Los Angeles
7. More than one city for each race
8.Starting cities
9. The main quest being searching for the HERo of time
10. and newb gerudos are randomly selected to be a male.

Last I would like that if you reach level one hundered with Hylians, you get to play as Sheikah!!! Ok post back.

Zelda isn't exactly what I think of when I think "RTS". Oh, wait, you said "RPG"... I'd be disgusted by all of the players who named their characters Link, Ljnk, and L1nk. You know, somehow I get the feeling that somebody said this before me, and I'm subconsciously quoting them.

In any case, I wouldn't mind seeing a well-made Zelda RPG with an interesting customizable stat system. But an MMORPG just doesn't seem to fit the Zelda series. I don't know why, but this is how I've always felt. It isn't the propaganda that's given me this opinion. Of course, if the Big N ever did make a Zelda MMORPG, I'd buy it just because I'm a gullible idiot.

I say leave the RPGs to the RPGs, and let Zelda do its job. Don't mix genres.

To me, MMORPGs are just money-grabs. Corporate cash-cows. A friend of mine has a WOW account that I play on every now and then (once a month or so). It's interesting, but the hours of play you have to put in doing seemingly useless things (come on, professions?) I don't see the need.

A four-swords type co-op online might be ok, where 2 to 4 Links teamed up against odds that matched their number. (I.E. two players = bosses and baddies that required two teammates to beat, three players = slightly more difficult/complex foes).

I think that is a natural progression, considering the style of the Zelda games and Nintendo's upcoming move to an online gaming community. In fact the rumours seem to indicate that the Nintendonline community will be more secure, invitation based gaming and less like the style of Xbox's everyone for himself style. Even a Zelda arena game would be cool. Where the arena was large and one player played as Link, supported by a multitude of NPC hylians, and another player as Shadow Link or Gannon, with hordes of Zelda baddies go head to head in a capture the flag type game (think Timesplitters?).

But I wouldn't dig an MMORPG that asked me to shell out for the game and then made me shell out again to play it. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. MMORPGs should be free (the software) and then pay as you play, or the other way around. Pay for the software, then pay to play and for patches and updates, etc.

Yeah MMOs should be like that but we all know that Nintendo would not charge if it was on a console. Also it could be like star wars Battlefront or Battlefield where 2 dif teams kick tha triforce out of each other (lol triforce....)And Wielder, Zelda is a Role (Link) Playing Game. But it would be so cool to have a city overlooking Hyrule field from a hill with soft lantern lights in every window.

c'mon its fun to play the Zelda games alone but when you think about it playing together its even funner..for instance FFCC was an OK game when you play alone but get some friends with cables and some gameboys and boy its so fun and stuff...and a zelda MMORPG would be a great and awsome way to play zelda...maybe N will try it with the Revo or the DS...

I dunno, I don't think it would work, 4 swords online would be good though.

I know I've posted this before, but...

Now, I have my thing about MMO's, what with fees (not for Guild Wars), n00bs, PKers, spawn campers, etc., but a ZELDA MMO? IT makes me shudder. Every male would be one of the following:
L1nk
Lonk
Lank
Lenk
Lunk
(consonant) + ink

with a green hat and so on. All females would probably be
Ze1da
Zeld4
Xelda
(consonant) + elda
etc. and #^$@ if they won't all be crown wearing magic users who can quick change into ninjas. And on the subject of Shiek, we'll have male players playing both real Sheiks (female) and 'I didn't finish Ocarina' Sheiks (male). Same thing for females. And add in Gorons and Zora and we'll be up to our necks in Mikaus, Rutos, and Darmanis. And don't get me started on horses.
'Ep0na'
'E-pony'
Whatever. Can you imagine? This would be wholesale destruction of the Zelda genre.

Agreed. L1nk. Sheek20212. you know. . Etc.


If they came up with sort of a revolutionary way to utilize a Zelda-like battle and quest system though. . It would be my favourite thing ever.

Ok, maybe you're name is randomly selected or there are name rules like in runescape, where if your name sound's anything like Link, he's either destroyed or given a different name.

The only type of online Zelda game I'd ever want to see would be an MMOAA. Basically, a Zelda game with a lot of characters going into dungeons and fighting against the enemy. No RPGing. If I want a cool RPG, I'll play KOTOR, not Zelda.

Still, a Zelda MMOAA would kick butt, IMHO. But it'll never happen, so I'll just have to continue dreaming.

Q- What's an MMOAA?

Massivley Multiplayer Online Action Adventure. As I said, basically an online Zelda game. I'd prefer this over an MMORPG because it would still have the Zelda feel, you'd just be questing with other people.

SJ

It is an interesting idea. It would make big money for a while, but most MMORPGs are crap, so after a few weeks most people would probably say not to buy it. Over all:

Good for Nintendo
Bad for players

It would be cool, they've been doing some type of stuff like that from were i come from but i doubt they will release it, it will probbly just be forgoten like alot of other stuff they've made their main focus right now is TP, but a online Zelda would be cool i think

One word


NO

lol your silly

only because I'm right. Zelda has been a single /limited mulitplayer experience, and should only stay as such. Sure, the idea of a 3D zelda community sounds fantastic, but some ideas are meant to stay on paper. What makes Zelda so great is the fact that we get the BE link, and well, in an MMORPG of zelda, no one would play as link, but of course, everyone would go out and buy a long hat and green tunic to "pretend" they are "Links long lost cousin" or some bullsh-t like that.

zelda isnt mmorpg material... but i would infact like to see that... not even like a stroy line game, but just a straight up big ol' massive map game. as much as i want to see it, at the same time my un-orignal tradtionl self says "no".. and i dont think we will ever see it... but it would be cool.
