What Future Zelda ideas do you hate?

We all have them. Ideas that we love. Ideas that we hate. And damnit, that extends into Future Zelda as well. There's such a broad spectrum of ideas in this forum that there's simply no way you're gonna like them all. But of all the popular ideas, which ones do you despise?

I'll start.

The Future Zelda idea that I have the most hatred for is to bring back villains who are clearly over and done with (i.e. Majora's Mask, Zant) just for the sake of it. Why bother? Their tales are told, there's no juice left in said characters, and no history of bringing back these kind of characters (especially Majora's Mask - if they wanted to bring it back they would've done it ages ago). The only purpose it could possibly serve is to act as shameless, uncreative fanwank when Nintendo well and truly runs out of ideas. I extend this way of thinking over to other characters, too; Midna has no place returning to the Zelda series, and will not, much like Ezlo, King Of Red Lions, Navi and Tatl didn't.

Another Future Zelda concept that I hold a special dislike for is the idea of having a good side and a bad side to Link. Dark Link is cheap and he is tacky, but ignoring him, there are those ideas that give you Fable-like freedom to do good or evil, or Metroid Prime 3 style corruption gimmicks. It's just not that good of an idea for Link. He's the very image of a good guy, to the point of almost being inhuman. He's not just a character, he's the very essence of a courageous, pure hero, in a very symbolic sense, hence ownership of the TOC. I just don't see this dark side idea working out at all.

Lastly, I dislike Futuristic Zelda requests. Not so much victorian era, or industrial Revolution-esque, but futuristic as in modern-day, or further than that even. There's only so far you can go before it appears that you are just changing Zelda for the sake of it. Also, there's the fact that people have some God-awful idea that Hyrule will follow a similar progression to the real World. It won't. I can only imagine that the industrial revolution will happen unimaginably differently to the real-world one. There won't be cars. They may never invent computers. Who says they'll even use steam or coal?

So, share your hatreds of the Future Zelda ideas crop. I know you hate some of the ideas on here. Don't even deny it.

1. Play with Zelda
2. Co-op play
3. Zelda RPG
4. anything to do with Majora's mask
5. anything to do with fierce deity

1. Steampunk Atmosphere
2. Playing as Zelda
3. Link needs to be a girl
4. Having a new Hero and not a Link based Hero
5. all that jazz

I was gonna post what I dislike until I realized the opening post summed everything up for me.

1. Play as Zelda
And I'll think of some more later.

Hey, I almost forgot how much I loathe the idea of playing as Zelda.

Thanks for reminding me guys.

Cel-shaded graphics. If the next game has cel-shaded graphics, it would mean 5 games in a row with cel-shading. We need something new, like I don't know... REALISTIC GRAPHICS?!

I hate the idea of any non-Nintendo company making Zelda games... Remember the CD-i games...?!

...

In a row? What, are we just forgetting that Twilight Princess ever existed?

All the other comments pretty just summed it up for me. But also, it bugs me when people say "they should totally put Zelda on the Xbox or Playstation." It's made by NINTENDO, people.

EDIT:

TP used cel-shading, just made it more realistic than Wind Waker.

Twilight Princess is cel-shaded. I'd hardly call TP realistic.

Oh God. Please tell me you're both being sarcastic.

I'm not, but I'm beginning to think you're being sarcastic. TP is, in fact cel-shaded.

I'm going to assume you're still joking, but just in case I'll pretend you're not.

Cel-shaded animation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

:/

Nothing about TP resembles this explanation (as well as most others) of cel-shading. Aside from maybe a few stylised explosions and maybe some of the twilight objects (i.e. Twilight portals, the curtain around the Twilight Realm, the Twilight Realm), nothing about Twilight Princess is remotely close to cel-shading. I suppose next you'll tell me that Ocarina Of Time is cel-shaded?

And if TP is cel-shaded, they did a bloody good job of convincing a majority of the gaming population otherwise. Stylised graphics =/= cel-shading.

But please, the game is over now.

Thank god, someone with taste. I basically can't stand all those fan fiction Zelda game ideas, that includes most of the stuff listed above. Especially when the ideas are centered around a specific story. Hell ya, like Nintendo ever cared about the story of a Zelda game and how it fits into some screwed up "timeline" theories. xD
