Should link be the enemy in one wack zelda game?

No thank you.

Having Link as the enemy is no, no, no. He is born in the bloodline to protect Hyrule, not to destory his home town.

in zelda ganon only usually fights at the very end!
Whats the point in having ganon sit on a throne for half the game?

It would be good, but it might Shadow the Hedgehog-ify Zelda and kill the series.

Having Zelda pull a Fable would be pretty cool.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a totally different series than Zelda. Trying to pull off having Ganondorf as the main character wouldn't work, seeing as Zelda has a huge emphasis on puzzle solving, and I can't imagine Ganondorf using a hookshot, or boomerang, or any of the usual Zelda weapons (or unusual, for that matter) in puzzle solving. What puzzle would Ganondorf be solving? I don't see Link infesting Temples with good monsters and devious puzzles. In fact, why would Ganondorf be in a temple, or dungeon, or anywhere puzzles are need to be solved? And if you suggest we create a new genre rather than the action adventure that is Zelda's proudest attribute... I really have no idea what there is to be said. And how would this game fit into the Zelda timeline? I have no idea where this could fit in. In short, this game is not possible.

No ganondorf should be working with link some how like he makes a deal with the gods or something use your imagination. Ganondorf could also somehow turn good ( the dark spirit inside him dies) so he grows smaller (a little larger than link.) but he still posesses superhuiman strength. and somehow this would be made possible.

And who and how changed the thread name and put wack in it. you people are crazy (not all of you).

Here comes the oft-mentioned advice: Edit your posts if you are going to add something!

And as for Ganondorf making a deal with the gods, however unlikely that is, where is the traditional Zelda standard- puzzle solving, going to come into effect? I can't imagine Ganondorf solving puzzles... And as for this deal with the gods, can you elaborate? Just exactly why does the King of Evil want to turn good all of a sudden? And again, where does this fit in the Zelda timeline?

Have you ever seen Death Note? In Death Note, the main character Light Yagami is the main antagonist throughout the series.

It may have been an incredible anime, but it's just not the same kind of story as Zelda. I knew right off the bat that Death Note was a tragic story, and Zelda isn't a tragedy. How ever, for Link to overcome a tragic flaw in the storyline of the next Zelda game could be pretty damn cool(thread idea).

Zelda has always had a happy ending, and since playing as Ganondorf would always lead to a tragic ending(I cannot see him pulling a 180 when it comes to his evil intentions or see him being "good" in any way) it would not mix well with the kind of story Zelda is.

what if ganndorf had a secret son, and he turned on your side. (there's still a lot to fill in here) and he had similar characteristics like super strength and larger size. (not as large as ganondorf, but a little larger than link.)

But Brawl isn't epic, its just a 2-d battle system. and now that i've played spiderman web of shadows, i think that would be a good example of the game. as link you could choose to take sides. 1 more idea,what if they made a zelda game that is 2 seperate games, like 1 of the games has some cool picture of link on it , and the other one had a cool picture of ganondorf on it, and in each one the other is the antagonist(but in the same setting). Ganondorfs game is to destroy hyrule while links is to save it. nintendo would make a great deal of money on this because most people would like to own both. Also this game should have some sort of multiplayer on it.

Theoretically cool, but potentially implausible. Just wouldn't work, really.

Scenario 1: Ganondorf having a dream. He is told in the dream that he need to go to places where he will need Link's help getting to. Fail to do so and something terrible will happen. O noes!

Scenario 2: Whatever Link is doing, he thinks he's doing it for the good of Hyrule. The truth is that it's actually up to no good, and Ganondorf somehow knows it. His task would be reaching out the truth to Link before it's too late.

Scenario 3: While Link is asleep, Ganondorf somehow possessed Link's body. He's using Link's body to ruin his reputation, by causing damage in town and insulting and hurting the people. The people thought it's Link doing it while it's actually Ganondorf in Link's body. When Link wakes up, he finds himself in Ganondorf's body and head on out to get his body back and then tries to make up to the people after he did.

Yes, use your imaginations. It can work, but it is not easy to fit it into a standard Zelda game.

That would be awesome! But maybe Dark Link as a main boss instead of a mini boss.

An evil link would work, I would love to have the option to play evil link one day and then good link another day. I have a few ideas on what I would like to see.

I think that link should be captured partway through the game, a spell will turn him evil, and then you will play princess Zelda trying to break the evil curse on Link. It is not posible for link to never fail and be under the power of evil. Princess Zelda needs some action in the game for once. After all the whole series is named after her, but she usually does nothing!

Hasn't this been talked about before?

what if in the game zelda chose you at birth or something to protect hyrule, you should start of as a kid, and then when you get older you make decisions that will lead you to follow ganondorf, link, or create your own path for others to follow. this would then give the game such a replay value that you couldn't stop playing it until you completed all the senarios. and as you would have guessed when you follow ganondorf destruction and chaos is the goal, while in links path your goal is to save hyrule, and in your own path you reject both offers and have to defeat them both but in the end you can choose to ally with zelda or to rename hyrule(not permaneteley) and it becomes your land. That might take a while to sink in but think about it.

I think it would be fun to have a campaign for both of them. You know, like aliens vs. predator. That way, you could spectate from each point of view. And i also had ideas for a more powerful and challenging Ganon. And also, why cant we use all of the items in boss and Ganon battles? There was only one or two battles like that (TP 2nd to last battle and Links Awakening last battle). And last but not least, why not make a Zelda game where Link is alot more powerfull? Sort of like Star Wars: Force Unleashed. He could use the triforce power and like chuck people, shoot lightning, and go crazily powerful when hes mad, like a rage. And at the same time, use sick new sword attacks.

That isn't possible. Gandondorf is a Gerudo, and they only have a male once every thousand years. Ganondorf is in his prime years I doubt he's 1000 years old. And he wouldn't want a son anyway, cause then he wouldn't be king of the gerudo anymore.
