Technological Upgrades

Well, I'm working on a new game idea, LoZ: The Clockwork Blade, in which a few of Link's items are given a technological advance. Obviously, not space age style, but more an alternate reality advanced clockwork.

For example, the Spinner's gear system is being re-worked, and the Clawshot has new clockwork capabilities allowing it to wind up cogwheels, etc. So, I wanted to find out what items you would like to see reborn in clockwork, or re-desiged with alternate technology. Fire away!

I personally wouldn't mind a slightly more advanced boat.

Just as a suggestion, don't upgrade all the items. Keep some normal (maybe change appearance to suit the game) but definately keep some of the classics.

Perhaps upgrade the bow to a cross bow.

its gonna be an internet game right?

Rhalen: I'm not going to. Roughly 5 items have been changed

Subrosian: No, it's just some game idea I had. I like just throwing round creative ideas.

You can upgrade the Bow,
Ex:

Needs to be updated into clockwork, I'm afraid, so bows don't really work.

Maybe you could summon little mechanical drones that help you in battle? Or wouldn't a chainsaw sword be cool?

Gears are soooooooooooo midevil

I love this idea
I'd like to expand on it but I can't without bringing in guns and the fact that bombs use gunpowder

hmm... a clockwork crossbow perhaps? or perhaps a new type of key... i reckon link should have some kind of mechanical bird though, like in the movie Clash of the Titans

How about a clockwork Fairy bomb similar to ClockWork Kazooie for any one that has played the game BT.

How about to replace the Bow you make a portable trebuchet-like weapon.

PHANTOM POCKETWATCH

About the clockwork fairy: You will be able to control it for a limit amount of time and it can fly but first you wind it up. The more you wind it up the more time you will have to able to fly it. It would be funny to launch it on unsuspecting people who would think it's a real fairy unless they see the gears and cogs.

It would be a useful stealth weapon if you needed to take out those 2 guards blocking the doorway but you don't want to alert the creatures in the rest of the room on the other side during a sneak em up level.

By the way what would you do with the phantom pocketwatch since I have never played PH glass? Look at the time? Or perhaps control time?
