The Picori returning.

I just had a little small idea I wanted to throw out there. They say the Picoris' return once every hundred years so I thought that it wouldn't be too much of a big deal to have them return in a future Zelda game. It could be around a time where the door has opened. It would be pretty kool to shrink down and see everything huge in 3D. This Zelda game wouldn't have to be based around the Picori like minish cap was, besides they are a tribe just like the Goron, Deku, etc. You could just have one temple that you beat in their land, then you would move on. Very much like you do with the other races. The game would be in 3D of coarse. Good or bad idea?

Oh but before you discuss just note that this wouldn't be a MC2! Only the Picori would return as a one temple stage!

Hmm... I think that they should return, but unless it's a TMC2 it's not so very likely... Remember the Keatons? Or the Tokays? Or the Subrosians? Or the Ritos? All of them was only in one game.

If the Picori do return, then Link will have to be a child because only children can see them. I myself want Link to be an adult in the next 3D Zelda game, but it wouldn't kill me to play as child Link again.

Perhaps you can play as both? As in OoT?

Yea I like that idea. When Link is a child he sees the Picori until he grows into a adult again.

Oh, I'd love it if the Minish returned (I prefer to call them that rather than Picori). They're my favorite race! They should come back in the next FS game. I want Vaati and the Four Sword back as well.

Vaati is the coolest boss by far!

Perharps the First temple as a child and adult can be the same, only that as a child, you can enter certain areas with the help of the Minish, while as an adult you have to do everything on your own and have to go different ways (kinda like the Spirit temple in OoT, but longer as a child and with both child boss and adult boss).

^Wouldn't that be an awsome idea. It would be even better if you not only had a boss for the child/adult part of the temple but you could have maybe a giant Deku Bubba blocking a certain path that you need to get to in the minish part. Then the Deku Bubba would be the boss for the minish part in the temple. Then there would be three bosses

YESSSS!!!! I have been waiting for someone else to eant the Picori back! I also say they need to bring back a lot of the other tribes, but I want the Picori most. MC was my first Zelda game, so they left an impression of me.

Well, not nessesarily. A teenager might be able to see them since they're still kinda children, they'd be able to see them if they were'nt too mature. If not, teen/adult Link could utilize a Picori Mask! Like in MM? That would work, cuz if he's a Picori, he'd have to be able to see them.

TMC didn't sold very well in Japan. Flagship were also planning to release sequels to TMC, but couldn't because of TMC not being sold much.

So I kinda doubt that they would return.

Then why did they publish a TMC Manga?

What do the MC sells in Japan have to do with the Picori making an (appearence) in a future 3D Zelda game? The Goron and Zoro tribe were in MC as well but that didn't make the sells any worse to that game. As I have said in the first post, This wouldn't be a Minish Cap 2! The Picori would just return as a one level, one temple thing. The game wouldn't be revovled around them this time.

That's because Gorons and Zoras appeared in games that sold well before TMC existed. And the manga was just there, it does not affect the sales of the TMC game.

The Minish were little people that required you to shrink yourself to see them. Being able to shrink again would scream TMC 2, which will never come because TMC did not sell well in Japan.

Exactly my point. If those tribes were in a LoZ that sold bad, what makes you think that picori cant be in a LoZ that sells. They wouldn't be the main atrraction in the game, as you said they would just be there.

Thats not true. That would be simular to saying that you would have a OoT 2, if they decided to bring the Kokiri tribe back in another LoZ game that had no Ganon in it. The only way you could have a MC2 is if you turned into a Picori on and off throughout the whole game like you did in the first MC. Also Vaati would have to be in it again.

Plus they haven't tried making a Zelda game where you can turn into minish in 3D. So I strongly believe that formula could work. It would probably sell well, who knows?

But even with the MC not selling well in Japan, doesn't alot of handheld LoZ games sell poorly? Just wondering.

Because other handhelds sold pretty well compared to TMC.

What if Link had a flute or something that he could command Minish with. He plays it and Minish appear and do things for him. They could navigate tiny mazes, band together to beat monsters, or even help in other puzzles. Link would be controlling a minish army. I guess it would be kind of like real time strategy, but I've never played it (and yet I still call myself a gamer).

I have an idea. You know how Link usually has someone with him giving him hints and telling him where to go? (Midna, Navi, Ciela, etc.) What if the next 'guide' was a Picori that rode around on Link's shoulder or in his hat? Being of mystical nature, Picori would now useful stuff for the quest, and maybe you could control him at points when tiny hands are required. There doesn't even have to be other Picori, he could just be one that stayed behind when the door between the worlds closed.

How about this: A picori rides on one of Link's arrows or boomerangs in order to travel. Link could shoot an arrow with a picori rider just below a crack in the wall, and a picori goes through it to help solve a puzzle. Maybe using picori like this would make the next game a little bit more like picmin (I wouldn't know though since I haven't played it).

They would be too small for him to see.

That and it sounds way too much like Pikmin.
