Wouldn't This Be Great

I do hope that it's not just me that thin this (yn)
But Wouldnt A Zelda game be great if you had to swap/travel/transort, or whatever you want to call it, through each game.

Like you could start in the lost woods, then the next level is ordan village...... and so on

right whatever you think of my idea, i wont be hurt by it

If I'm reading your post correctly, you're suggesting a Zelda game where you're in one area or town until you "beat" it?

I would think that would go against the Zelda formula of open area play. It's not a terrible idea imo, but they would have to do some serious thinking into how to make it playable that way without it getting boring quickly.

no not like that at all
your still in one big hyrule, but dufferent parts frm differnet games all put onto the same graphics system
dont you agree it would be amazing 2 go to lon lon ranch (OoT) or clock town (MM) on the nintendo wii system with better graphics??

I'm not a fan of that, people are having a hard enough time trying to figure out the Zelda series story....

But in theory I suppose it would be cool

Or, they could just give us new areas to explore with a few old ones thrown in for old time's sake
Continual rehash=bad

Look, taking all the areas from diffrent games and putting them in one just wouldn't make a great game. Its just being lazy and uncreative.

I wouldn't mind seeing similar qualities from previous games. But having the same areas from different games, put into a one game seems too lazy & uncreative to me.

It'd be great for Link's Crossbow Training 2, but not for a real Zelda.

I don't see how that would even work.... How would you combine 2d games with 3d, How would you combine a flooded hyrule with a "dry" one? ˙Hw would you even combine cel and realistic?

How would you combine 2d games with 3d,

Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy IV DS.

Land, then sea. Lol.

How would you even combine cel and realistic?

Change the models a bit and change the textures? Much like the mod for Ocarina of Time that lets you play it in cel shade. Only backwards.

I have not played FF4 ds, but i'm assuming they kept the 2d view with 3d sprites. Am i correct?

Nah, they kept the layouts like the dungeons and towns, world map etc the same, but completely remodeled it in 3D. They even added some voice acting. On the DS. I was impressed.

Thats what I meant.... my point is this: How would you go from say, the Helmasaur Battle in ALttP to clock town in MM?

I don't think the OP means being in the same places at the same time. I think they mean having a collection of places from the old games, but all in the same world. So I'm guessing, Snowpeak and Death Mountain would be close, as well as Kokiri forest and Ordon.

As for the boss fight, well, it's pretty obvious. It'd just be in a temple. But they made it 3D lol. It's as simple as moving from the very first 8bit Link, to the Link in TP.

Ah, I believe I could get behind that, as long as it didn't impede the progress of the next original game.


Announcement in '09, Nintendo, or some Zelda fanboys are gonna be pissed.

Well I wasn't necessarily saying it was a good idea, just explaining it. It would be a horrible idea if the entire overworld was like that. If they added some nice old places like Lon Lon Ranch or something (not to the massive extent of TP, which for me ruined Kakariko entirely), it'd be nice.

New Story. New overworld. Complete originality. New Zelda.

Not the old stuff. We need something new.

Return of the hero of time!

Adult link bounces back and forth between all Eras recovering weapons and slaying key bosses in history to prevent Gannons ultimate victory at the end of time. Its not like there isnt precident: the harp of ages, the ocarina of time, the door at the ruins of the temple of time.

Basically the temple of time could be the staging area with like popping out into whatever era where the front door still exists, otherwise using the harp or the ocarina to get there. You could travel everywhere and everywhen from oots kokiri forest, tps castle town, wws tower of the gods. Anywhere.

Question is what could be soo huge as to force the hero to jump from era to era? Maybe monsters travel back, maybe they were always there? Maybe artifacts that could stop future gannon are buried in himself in all the past incarnations, maybe he broke apart the master sword and a piece is in each era?

Would totally murder the timeline.

Is this like Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles where you relive the best moments from the series?
