Do you think there should be a futuristic Zelda game?

So it's Star Wars, except Link instead of Luke and Ganondorf instead of Darth Vader?

I've always been strongly in favour of the idea, mostly because of an amazing cartoon show called Samurai Jack. I always imagined Zelda taking that sort of route, a fantastically bizarrely surreal future, in no way like our own, a sort of split on the branch of time.

oh yeah but it worked because they did in a special way where it was interplanetarily futuristic but didn't really have to much guns and because jack was a master samurai
a european style swordsman is much different than a samurai

So you're saying that Zelda can't have a unique science fiction setting like Samurai Jack did because Link is not a samurai? You don't think a comparable world could be created without the samurai component?

thats not what im saying im saying it'd have to be a lot different and that it takes a lot of hard work and the fact that samurai jack is a cartoon not a video game

Yes. It would take lots of work and would need to be different.
We know that Samurai Jack is a cartoon.

Samurai Jack was used as an example that a futuristic setting does not necessarily mean it'd be all laser guns and space marines. We did not suggest putting Zelda characters in Samurai Jack's setting. It would be in its own Zelda-tailored setting.

Samurai Jack simply proves that there's more than one kind of science fiction.

A game should take a lot of hard work to begin with. Otherwise we end up with another TP.

Your reasoning sucks.

nah...

Seriously, I like the old middle ages kinda thing. Although if they give Link a machine gun I may rethink this...

No they don't, there is no such thing as a certain time period of which legends can only happen in. There were legends in ancient greece aswell

I could count the amount of people on one hand who actually understand what a futuristic Zelda would be like.

Everyone else is thinking things like Halo or Final Fantasy or our world but with Zelda themes

Zelda moving a little farther in to the future couldn't hurt. Cannons are already present, so it can't be long before they figure out guns.

HEY! TP is a good game stop ripping on it like people used to do to WW and my reasoning doesn't suck b/c a cartoon is much easier to make than a game my point being as well as the fact that you'd need a different futuristic atmosphere and btw if they did do a more futuristic Zgame it be best if it was only a little farther and the technology would have to be different considering current Ztech. and the fact that it has magic in it but not like ffs magic b/c their different kinds
over and out

And stay out. Cause that was irritating to read.

Your excuse is "It's hard to design a new futuristic atmosphere"

Uhmm. That sucks, man. The creators have to design a new world for each game. What's so much more hard about designing a more futuristic world that would seem logical in the Zelda universe?

And people ripped on WW for it's animation. People rip on TP for sucking.

u people need to stop attacking me this isn't "what i think about DakonLink" and i didn't say that was hard u assumed that was wat i meant wats hard is getting the balance right so that u can keep to the true nature of the series b/c its uncharted territory for the series and TP doesn't suck, its got great gameplay elements a great story line people whine because its using similar techniques and the like
now back to the subject jerk(s).

ps. excuse for what exactly

lawl. Whatever you say, buddy. So you think Zelda should stay right where it is... Kay.

DakonLink, please use much more grammar and spelling. Your posts are annoying to read what with your run on sentences and misspelt words

Okay i'll try to be more litterate for you. Also misspelt words are sometimes people trying to do things faster or just shorten things. Im using a PS3 so it takes longer to type things.

Well, you tried.

I say no.

Making a futuristic Zelda can be compared to making a new series (infact, why don't Nintendo just make a new series to make all you BAWWWWWWers happy?). I mean, I know it's bad to cling to tradition sometimes, but the line has to be drawn somewhere...
