none of that would make sense with the game's story what so ever. sorry, but the whole point of this is to make a story unrelated to zelda and ganon/dorf

New villain. Vote for it to be an enemy or boss.

Crolt. Holds 2 crossbows, one with slow but strong fire, the other with rapid yet weak fire. Moves very quickly, but gets hit really hard.

The Legend of Zelda: Archaic Entity (or Entity Archaic?)

Summary of the first 30 minutes of the game:

It is 5 years after Twilight Princess, and you see an opening cutscene that shows the opening credits with very melancholy and dark orchestrated music playing in the background, and you see the camera slowly moving through trees in a thick overgrown forest at night, and you can see fireflies occasionally blinking across the screen. Once the opening credits end the music abruptly silences and you see a silhouetted figure stumbling across the forest floor, and you can hear a familiar pant. The figure falls to the forest floor, and the camera angle changes to the closed eye of the man. You can see blood running down his forehead and he opens his eye slightly.
You then hear whispering voices speaking in an unknown language and the man’s eye widens and dilates, then darts around. Then the camera angle becomes what he sees, and the angle whips around and you see white figures clouding his vision. He then starts to get flustered, stands up and draws his sword. The camera revolves around the man, who is completely shadowed except his eyes. His eyes are still darting around.
Then you see subtitles appear on the screen, “Rushing away in such haste will not rid you of me…” Then the moonlight comes in and you can see that the man is Link. The voice speaks again. “Confront me; your efforts cannot thrive any longer.”
Then the camera zooms into and inside Link’s eye and you find yourself in a white room that seems to be endless. Then you see dark link (as it seems), and he is walking tow'ards you slowly, and he summons a large sword that is shaped like a pointed 8 (sound familiar? Its Fierce Deity Link’s sword) as he advances and grins, blaring sharp teeth, and then says, “So determined… and yet you cannot find them, its all lost. Even if you do find where they are, their demise is inevitable. But do not blame me, I did not take them, however it may seem…” He w'arps behind you and whispers in your ear, “It was you.”
Link yells and swerves around with the Ordon Sword drawn, but dark link is not there. Then you are given the choice to take the tutorial or just fight the boss. NOTE: you start out with every sword attack Link learns in TP

-Tutorial: You learn the basic sword attacks by fighting weak duplicates of dark link.

-Boss: Unknown (Looks like Dark Link, but you can probably guess by now who it really is)
Weapon: Fierce’s Sword

Strategy: It’s a straight sword fight, but he will be very acrobatic compared to link. You have to be very aw'are, since he will swiftly reappear either behind you or above you, and you have to either block or counter his attacks. Once you beat him, he appears exhausted, and you go to a cutscene.

Link goes over to stab “Dark Link” through the heart, but is then flung 10 feet away, and the camera shows links face with Fierce’s sword in his face, with “Dark Link” standing over him.
Link wakes up on a bed, and he is heavily bandaged. On the other side of the room you see two people. One of them turns around and sees you, and you can see it’s a she. She looks like a mixture of Ilia and Zelda, but with long brown hair. She’s startled, “He’s awake.”

How does that sound so far?

OMG that was so awsome dude except who is the woman and was that a dream of links?

1. That I'm thinking on, and working on right now, i just felt that theres a need for a female character

2. actually its more of a flashback/dream

Pretty sweet! I'm working on my own idea for a Zelda game (I really wish I knew what happened to the one I posted a while back...), maybe you can check it out when I get the first bit of information up? But yeah, you're definitely on a roll!

I say they take the whole entire concept of the triforce, ganon/dorf, and zelda, and just make it a background that just hovers over links head, but it can also interject with the next Zelda storyline. Do what they did with majora's mask, build the story from the ground up.

In the next game, they should make an entirely new villain, or a new version of dark link. Now dark link was really just a black silhouette of link's body, and that was cool, but what if they pulled a Sephiroth with dark link, like make Dark link his literal dark half. In fact his design could BE fierce deity link, cause that is a badass form of link and would fit the role perfectly, but he will be like a giant mystery. And even at the end of the game, after you beat him, he should be still unexplained, and should leave you thinking. It would leave the same effect that was at the end of Halo 3, where the last segment of the game is you seeing another halo. What happens now?

This "sephiroth/dark link" should have his own personal name, and give him his own personality and way of talking (obviously not verbal, since Zelda characters don't have sound in the games, only text). Ganondorf was very pompous and a little cliche with his personality. "Sephiroth/darklink" (again, should look exactly like fierce deity link) should be very cryptic and mysterious, a lot like Kreia from KOTOR 2: the sith lords. But again, Kreia was explained a lot at the end. "Sephiroth/Darklink" should be left almost completely unexplained.

In this story at the beginning it should be like Majora's Mask, only without epona, just him walking alone through a much thicker and darker forest. He should be really distressed but we don’t know why. Eventually he should meet some new characters who play very major roles in the plot and they should be original to the story (Personally link should have a traveling companion [but shouldn’t go into dungeons], someone who is also very unexplained and should be sort of like a Japanese swordsman and wear armor and stuff, and should seem like hes on neither side) and these characters could lead him to a city cause he’s so bashed up and injured (still we don't know why) that he needs medical attention.

At this point I say Miyamoto could create a GIANT brand new land for the story to take place in, with a sprawling fully explorable city with lots of markets. (also the market bit is only for swords, armor, and healing items, and accesories.Items like the hookshot and the mirror sheild, ball and chain, etc are all going to be used the same way).Think assassins creed + Elder scrolls Oblivion. Yeah, add that to Zelda, best game of all time. Make brand new races and enemies, though Zoras should be there, but have a much larger role and be very aggressive, haughty, and have scimitars (and have their own individual looks, not just clones of the same Zora). It should have a very arabesque, tropical, and medieval feel to it. Like have lush forests and giant flowers cover the landscape, and have a needed mountain range possibly east of the city that would be similar to the snow area in twilight princess but make it larger and give it more new enemies (but those ice monster things with the red eyes that breathe frozen vapor should DEFINITELY make a comeback in that area, those things were awesome)

by the way i think link should have the ability to use two swords if he wants, and any kind he wants seeing as the master sword is not needed in this idea. thats where the markets of the main city would come in great, buy more and more powerful weapons and chainmail and etc. and should the amount of rupees link can hold should be less limited?

but remember this game will try to save many aspects of the zelda series as well, such as minigames and the occasional hilarious remark, and especially heart pieces and collecting items to get new things.

and on my idea of the villain being the revamped version of dark link looking like fierce diety link could work under the terms that Link is not just a reborn form of the hero of time, but another darker being that was link's termina form (who is fierce diety link in my opinion) and that these two somehow intertwine in the Twilight princess link (yes this is supposed to be a sequel to twilight princess, unless you disagree with that notion) though the process of rebirth and link holds both of them inside him, and this darker entity eventually bursts out of him in this idea. And this game could also play into the background of majora's mask, since many theories suggest that fierce deity link fought majora in the past (in the universe of termina). but who says it was for the good of the world? what if they were rivals? OH! plot twist!

Obviously I'm going to get alot of criticism on my alternate universe statement saying that "termina is in the world of hyrule and the hero of time, how do you explain skull kid saying 'You smell like the fairy kid who taught me that song in the woods'". well ill tell you how, ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. that event could have transpired in a different context, and link's smell could be coincidental.

Basically this version of dark link/fierce deity link would far surpass the evil of ganon/dorf in my opinion.

And also, this is now currently a sequel to twilight princess AND majora's mask! yay!

Plus, couldn't this possibly make for the creepiest and darkest Zelda game yet?

and obviously this is not a confirmed game AT ALL, its only a concept idea. Just to clear the air so no one gets confused.

To add on to that Zora idea I just had, perhaps they are very distrustful of humans and don’t want to interact with them, therefore making them very isolated and tribal. Dekus should also take a role similar to the ents in lotr, but be obviously smaller but be a lot cooler looking than earlier deku designs. Basically the humans of this land are enemies of these two races, and the dekus and the zoras don’t like to interact either.

Also the graphics should be UNBELEIVEABLE, like being able to see every detail of the races and making the land with much more ability to be interesting.

Sadly, the only way this game would be able to be done to the full extent (at the current time that is) would be making Nintendo not release it for the wii, and put it on the 360 and ps3, and that would sadden us all. Yet on the brightside, this game could also be held for the next nintendo system, and hopefully Nintendo will make their graphics equal to the next Sony and Microsoft system so that this game could stay a Nintendo only game.

I literally just made this up, and I think I'm going to try to develop the story line fully soon, and if you guys show alot of support for it (if you like it that is), we could send it to miyamoto for a plot idea for the NEXT NEXT gen Zelda game.

Don't hold back, give me the most criticism you can, this idea should be a community made plotline for the zelda fans. That way I can make it good for everyone.

Your thoughts? (Sorry that it was so long)

that would be the best zelda game yet sounds spontainise relly great especially the deku and zora it dosent sound like the zoras to dislike humans though but other then that it souns grest

ALL of these posts sound so awesome.There could be over 50 temples and Ganon would be the boss of one temple but is still the main/final boss but is weaker.Then when you beat all the temple Every bit of Evil in that world would merge and Link would have to find away to beat the evil

JamesCava, don't double post.

And 50 temples for one game is absurd, that will never happen.

Er, who said it can't? If Nintendo dedicated some time with the game, it can happen. Or maybe just put updates on the game every month a temple or something.

No, way. It takes Nintendo a good four to five years on average to make a game. That's at just about ten temples per game. If they were to implicate better graphics, better puzzles, items, music, etc, it will take them forever.

The only way I see it possible would be for downloadable content, but again, I would rather Nintendo worry about the new game than trying to improve the games I already loved and beat.

The downloadable content is what I stated in my last post, updates.

Right, and I agreed with that, but also said, it's a waste of time. Improve your new games, not your old classics.
