Soul Calibur Zelda

I think it would be cool to have a Soul Calibur-Style Zelda.
A game full of zelda characters that you can fight as.
(and nobody mention SSBB)

good idea,maybe we'll see how ganondorf fights with his warlock sword,and how zelda and shiek fights with a sword.

Or maybe a 2-D Fighter Zelda, where you play as the characters from an overhead view.

Hmmmmm.....

I would love it if they used some characters who you wouldn't expect to see in a game like this. I mean sure, Darunia would work like Goron Link, Nabooru and Impa are obviously warriors, and Ruto probably has all the techniques of Zora Link. And they have their Sage magic!

But I really would love to see Melli peck enemies and smack them around the head with her harp. Instrument of murder!

THAT would be great it can be on the wii or maybe on the gamecube

Link was in the Gamecube version of Soul Calibur II.

The Gamecube is dead. Live with it.

Question is: Would the different designs of Link just be alt costumes, or have different play styles?

well there can be toon link,oot link,mm link,FDlink,dark link, i hope it has fairys they can make the enemy annoyed

I think a fighting game style duel mode would be perfect for the next wii zelda's online multiplayer.

This.

A zelda spin off fighting game would be unnecessary if they just packed it into a real zelda as multiplayer.

It probably wont happen. But i would like to see a comeback for Link in the next Soul Calibur game. His design in Soul Calibur 2 was awesome.

I think it would be cool to play as Midna or Skull Kid.

This probably won't happen but I would like to see this on the PS3 so it can handle better graphics.

It definitely never will go to the PS3, there is no probably about it.

Plus better graphics won't make it better you know, its the gameplay

I think it would be interesting if all the Links could be chosen in a small multiplayer mode a la Four Swords Adventure and duked it out.

You could have:

LoZ Link, who could be a magician, armed with all his spells from AoL.

LttP Link could sort of a ranged specialist, armed with Magic Rods, Bow and Arrow, Boomerang, and Hookshot.

OoT Link could be the most well-rounded, being able to shoot Magic Arrows, possessing Bombs, the Megaton Hammer, and Hookshot.

WW Link would have the most varied movement options, with his C-Button Iron Boots, Deku Leaf, as well as a Boomerang and Bow and Arrow.

Well the different costumes would have the same basic moves but maybe tiny changes such as: If you have the Zora armour on you get water bombs, magic armour fancy weapons and bomchus etc.

i would like the same moves with different outfit.

I like this idea. I'm not entirely sure how they'd make it really good though. If it was a minigame of some sort then it would take just as much effort to make it good as it would the main game itself, otherwise it would be a bit rubbish. But yeah, it's something i'd like to see.

Someone else posted a topic in this forum and wanted a "Soul Calibur 2 Zelda."

Which got me thinking.

Is Soul Calibur II really the only one people played?

Soul Calibur was groundbreaking and nearly revolutionary. It kind of breaks my heart when people have only played II, and it makes me even more sad that people only got it for Link and think that he's the best character in the game.

Do you guys realize that some characters in the Zelda series are far, far, stronger than others? Having Ganondorf fight evenly with say, Darunia, is ridiculous and makes no sense compared to all of the Zelda storylines we've seen. The only characters that could be on par with Link and Ganondorf are characters who at some point had a triforce, or are supernatural, or boss characters.

Not to mention that the time it would take them to make a game like this would be much better spent making an actual Zelda game.

If they did make something like this, they had better have the common sense not to make its storyline canonical.
