Spells?

In the next zelda game, does anyone want any spells? I don't want to make this into an RPG zelda, but I really enjoyed the spells you can recieve in Ocarina of Time.

I wouldn't mind a couple (3-4 max). I'm kinda looking for something similar to Dins fire, and Naryu's protective shield type spell. Does anyone have any ideas for anymore spells, or does anyone have any thoughts on spells?

Ehh....i dunno, the spells weren't that incredibly helpful in OoT anyway, i would like a couple, but not more than 3, that would just be, non-Zelda like.

the spell were cool but they didn't do much

I would think of something like Farores Wind Blast, Dins Fire Blast, Nayrus Ice Blast

If there would be spells , then I'd rather have them something to do with the game play , for example you would have to use them to solve puzzles or something.

A warp Spell , like Farore's Wind , would be pretty cool to have again too though.

Really? I found Din's Fire very useful indeed. Though I did not make use of the others very much. Although, Farore's Wind did come in handy a couple of times.

I certainly wouldn't mind that the three spells reappeared in a future game

I think that would be a very good idea, but it would be too similar to using the Ocarina... like having to have a special combo of buttons to press in order to make something happen.

Spell are, IMO, a good thing to have. I like them, and besides only making the game fun, the add extra protectction to the character. In a Zelda game, spells are really pretty unnessecary, since Link has no problem defending himself without MUCH magic or spells.

Id hate to see it to be honest...

Zelda games have been fine with very little or no spells at all and I think spells would be a major change in gameplay.

I like Zelda games as they are

No spells, Spike of Hyrule? Look in a Link to the past, you had those medallions you could use to call for example an earthquake.

i really really liked the spells,

Nayru's Love came in very usefun when fighting enemies that take of TONS of hearts when you have little life (eg, Iron Knuckles)

Farore's Wind was useful when you had a point in a dungeon where if you messed up and returned to the beginning (this happened SOO many times in the damn Shadow Temple) i could just return to the warp point

Din's Fire served a necesarry purpose in many points in the game, such as in the entrance to the Shadow Temple. ALso, it proved very useful to light torches instead of Fire Arrow's (which can be difficult to aim at a distance) and can kill enemies easily (Stalfos, Dark Link)

just my 2 cents....

Spells have so far been replaced by the Ocarina and the Wind Waker, if you haven't noticed. By asking for spells you are just asking for more Ocarina songs, or more Wind Waker melodies. Spells and these are so similar, it is almost pointless to even put them in. While ALttP had medalions, they DID NOT have the Ocarina or Wind Waker, if you did not notice.

Spells could be good. but no more than 4. the spells in OOT took to long to perform in battle and it slowed down the pace, so i used them very little. the only time i can remember using them was when i first got them, and Dins fire just before you enter the spirit temple

There has always been spells in Zelda, SoH. LttP had Medalions, OoT had Dins Fire, Nyrues love, and Farores courage, and WW had Magic Armor. I would like to see a few spells in the next game, not to many.

yea, who really said that magic spells had to come in windwaker/ocarina form...?

Why has no oen mentiond that spells were essential to Zelda 2? and for all fo you who say spells are "un-Zelda like" look at this:
LoZ: no real, spells, although Candle and whistle probably count
Aol: dependent on spells
aLttP: Medalions
Oot: Ocarina, Din's fire etc.
MM: Ocarina
WW: Magic armour, Wind Waker

I'm sure that there is more, but as you can see spells are essential to Zelda. I myself would like to see the return of the sheild spell from AoL, you use it once and for a while you take 1/2 damage. That would be great in a 3D Zelda game.

ive always thought that in laetr games that would be cool if you were given the ability to conjure up stuff with your wind waker

like so:

you put your WW to X, Y, or Z, you L target an enemy, then you press the button that corresponds with your WW. And without pausing everything you simply pull it out like every other one of your weopons, you play the song(w/e it is) with the C-stick and he conjures up a fire ball and burns them, you wouldn't neccesarly need it but it would be cool

in oot, u could get rid of dark link really easily with dins fire and faroes wind was really useful but naryus love i didnt use much i didnt need it.

What other sorts of seplls did AoL have, 'dwarf?

I didn't find the spells in OOT very useful. The only time i used din's fire was to get into the shadow temple and that was after i tried for a while to light the torches with my fire arrow.

I have never been a fan of them First time beat OoT I did not know Faroes wind existed! how I missed it I dont know
