Fighting Styles

Its been awhile since I've been here,

Anyways, I just thought of something, while playing Wind Waker and TP,

We all know that all Link ever did to fight was just simple sword attacks, so i was think what if int he next Zelda game, they added newer ways of fighting?

I was thinking maybe a samurai-style with fast sword strikes and ninja like evasive movements and when you kill a monster, if you sheathe your sword at the right time( which will be at your hip), you swing sword then slowly insert into your sheathe then quickly close it and then the monster will fall

( If there is anyone who played Devil May Cry 3 and seen Vergil fight, you'll know what i mean)


Also another style, that I thought,

When i was playing TP, I constantly thought, if there was a way to grab monsters.

And so i though of a special wrestling style, sort-of liek when monster is about to attack you grab his arm, leg, or what ever body parts he is attacking with and then throw him.

For example, when you fight a Lizalfos and he swings his axe-tail to attack with, you grab the tail and spin around twice then throw the Lizalfos.

What do you think? Any other styles?

**** you, I was gonna say that.

Yeah, new styles would be fun.
Don't gemme wrong, I LOVE the traditional style but something new would be cool

An interesting concept. But how would you change between these different styles? Would there be a controller short cut? Or would you have to go to the equipment subscreen of the pause menu?

Well I had actually suggested in another thread that Link were to start off with no sword and have to fight off monsters with his hands for a while untill he found one, however he would have no shield untill later in the game where the sheild would be it's own weapon with spikes and such on the outside. This would create a whole new and interesting was to fight, either with sword, shield, or hands.

Tae-Kwon-Do WHAT!!!

Seriously, I do TaeKwonDo, and even though I think it'd be really cool if it was in the next Zelda, it's just not Zelda.

it will all depend on 2 special weapons

So you would have different weapons for the different styles? Sounds like a setup for another situation like in the Water Temple in OoT, where you had to constantly pause the game to change the boots on and off.

More styles could possible ruin the game. It could end up like a flashy mess of intricate moves that look amazing, but you might as well be watching a movie. Think of the new Prince of Persia :/.
