I want someone to die.

As a comparison, the movie "the Empire Strikes Back" is supposed to be the best movie of the Star Wars franchise, because you can't just have every element in a series have a happy ending, it gets old fast.

If a Zelda character dies in one game, chances are that their descendants will somehow return in the timeline or something. Zelda likes to confuse people as to this day and age I still don't know how the timeline thing works.

So if Zelda dies, she will return when the years go by. Most characters are descendants.

The title of this thread is so blunt hahaha. I wouldn't mind seeing a major character take the dirt nap in a Zelda game. Maybe like a sidekick or something that makes Link go berserk and absolutely take Ganon the **** out

Maybe even have Ganondorf die off once and for all. He's taken a pretty heavy beating and always comes back for more. I don't think he's 100% necessary for a Zelda game... in fact, I was rather disappointed when he turned up in TP at the last minute.

I really want to see Zelda dead. Maybe her death can start a new quest for the Link in turn and add a tragic feel to the game.

Vengeance is a good excuse for an epic adventure

thats truee.
like she dies around the beginning, then you have to go on a quest to find someone to replace her or to free the next person in lines soul from a demon or something like that.

I think they should have a character that Link is very close to, but isn't a Zelda staple (like Saria or Ilia) die. That way it wouldn't mess with future plotlines, but it would still be plenty touching.

Also, I want to play The Legend of Zelda: Forgotten Waffle King.

I'd love to get close to a character and then see them killed, that would be great motivation for Link...they'd have to be around for a while though...longer than just like, the tutorial.

Also, I was so massively disappointed when they brought Zelda back randomly and with no explanation at the end of TP.

That sounds interesting...

I think Midna could have died. I mean, it was a touching ending and all, but it was either that or Ilia (ooh, wait, she should've been killed!!).
MM was one of the only games where people really died (if you lose, a giant evil moon kills the entire town) and it was a more serious game, a bit darker (IMO). I think the series could use another game like that, and I agree it would be refreshing to see one of Link's close friends or whatever die. It would be further motivation to run off and kill Ganon (or whatever bad guy). This would exemplify a darker side to Link, adding a richer tone to his character.

Link's uncle and the priest did die, in the ending they were just brought back from the dead by the triforce

Nintendo were on to this idea years ago. I mean, what else do you think is happenning when you lose all your health? You're falling asleep?...

I dont think they should kill of a main character consdering the plot relvoes around them,how ever I do belive they should kill of a on going chacrter to show that they arent affred to hmm maybe the happy mask sales man,manily becasue he creepd me out in MM with those eyes I was like 9 at the time (played GC version) and I was scared so fro that him if not maybe Tingle hope it wont have to come to that more preferbly Sakon casue he does nothing

You know I really thought Ilia was going to die before I got to Hyrule Castle Town in TP. xD It wasn't because I wanted her dead, I just thought it would've been more interesting. >_>

Not so sure if Link should die, but perhaps a close friend/relative of his, or Princess Zelda, should get killed by the villain at some point. That would give Link a personal motive to destroy the enemy and would build hatred for the villain for the player, especially if the person who died was a very likable character.

Link should die. Then it would make the game much harder. So hard, that you can't beat the game.

But if Link dies, who are you going to play as??

That's the point. It was sarcasm.

Have Zelda die at the beggining, but make it a faked death. Link goes on a quest for revenge, and sacrfices the lives of others in his quest for revenge. When he finds out Zelda isn't dead, have him fight himself - Dark Link - in the ultimate metahphorical expression of self hate.

That would certainly be dark... although I don't think they should turn Link into that kind of person. In MM, they managed to make it dark while still keeping Link an innocent kid.

I'd want them to try something similar to ALttP but completely different. Have Zelda die midway through the game and Link gets framed as the killer and has to spend the rest of the game getting hunted down by Hyrule's soldiers.

I thought that aspect of ALttP was cool, how all of Hyrule is pitted against you. I don't think Nintendo would have the guts to kill off Zelda, but they should at least kill off another character that's important to Link, and I do think it would be nice to have the hostile soldiers and people like in ALttP... Although, that wouldn't really allow you to get to know the characters like in MM, which I would really like to see in ZWii.
