Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

I dont care either way. Personally I'd prefer not so, since Zelda games always have you playing as only Link. Just to keep to the spirit of the game.

Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

If such a thing would be justifiable to the plot of the game and essential to enhancing the gameplay, I'd probably still dispise the idea. It's a hack idea, one that's been overused in a ton of games recently. Such a thing always leads to boring possibilities; character development becomes strictly two dimensional and the plot becomes extremely predictable.

Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

The Normal Char v. Dark Char thing has become annoyingly cliche too.

Though I wouldn't mind a character who is similar to Link in background, skill and personality, but is more ambitious, greedy and morally ambiguous.

In fact, such a character would be a pretty freakin awesome villan (not every bad guy has to be a level bajillon sorcerer with a giant sword and a piece of the triforce).

Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

What would be the point of playing as Dark Link? He's basically the same as Link, just more cliché.

"Who thinks in the new Zelda you should be able to play as Zelda"
"Who thinks in the new Zelda you should be able to play as Vaati"
"Who thinks in the new Zelda you should be able to play as Kaepora Gaebora"

Why not stick with Link? Non-Link playable characters for the win, but a Dark Link would simply be pointless. And any non-Link character should not be more than 30% majorness of Link. Phantom Hourglass executed the idea almost correctly in my opinion.
The only reason one would want to is because the character is cool (in their opinion -_-). I think Madame Aroma is cool, we need to play as her.

Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

I personally think that Link should be able to "change" based on the actions he takes. If you make him do bad things, bad deeds, he becomes more evil, Dark Link. Keep Link doing good things, good deeds, he remains the reputation of a hero.

Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

That would be pretty sweet if they did it right. As long as they didn't turn it into a darkside thing like Spider-Man 3 or Prince of Persia 3. You know what I'm talking about.

Make it like a one time thing. Like in the temple before the last boss of the game. Instead of getting an item you get to fight the boss as Dark Link.

Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

I think after you beat the game you should get to do it agian as dark link like you could in super mario galaxy with luigi.There should be some difference in dark links abilities that makes the game harder.

Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

I don't think it'd be a good idea for Nintendo to make Dark Link the star in any future Zelda games. Dark Link is too much of a villain-type character to become the hero. I wouldn't object to him being Link's ally, though.

Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

I think we should stick to being just plain Link.

Maybe there could be some sort of element to the game where some evil force is trying to take over your body and you have to break the curse on you to keep from going evil...but even that is probably too cliche

Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

I say...

Maybe as an alternate costume...

Along with an alternate costume that turns everything into disco fever...

Otherwise... it seems like its just some cute extra... that it wouldn't really be all that fun...

Attack link...
-Real awesome... [/sarcasm]

Though if you got to learn evil spells it might be cool...
-But spells aren't evil or good... they're neurtral...

Once he's playable he would be less cool / less mysterious. Just leave him as he is.

Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

Playing as anyone but Link would be horrible. Besides playing as Dark Link would be downright stupid. There would be no story behind it. Dark Link is nothing more than mere goblin. His life purpose it to kill Link, nothing else. Therefore the game would be. Link enters, Dark Link kills him, you win, end of game.

Re: who thinks in the new zelda u should be able to play as dark link

What'd be the point in that? Dark Link is SO overrated! Its so stupid, he'd be no different just black, just buy Brawl and quash all your urges to play as Dark Link with that . . . .
