Hyrule Casle Town In The Next Game

In the next Wii Zelda (If it's placed in Hyrule) what kind of things should there be for you to do.
(Such as minigames quests stores etc.)
Discuss!!!

I just want to be able to go into any building...and to be able to talk to anyone...even if all they can say "Sorry, I'm busy right now" like in freakin' Adventure of Link. (xD edit)

By the way, Miyamoto said Wii Zelda will be in the world of Hyrule. Which probably means it's set in Hyrule.

Ill divide this up

Things around town:
a)People who speak, say intresting things, and change what they say every so often according to whats going on.

b)People leave town, in real time, or go home, around Hyrule field.

c) MM, People do things at certain times, have stories to tell, and quests to help with.

Games:
Im not really gonna ask for anything here, as Im sure Nintendo can come up with something new then I could, Just new things, maybe some old things, but you need to have a reason to play them more then once and they need veritiy.

Money: Things to spend your money on. Shops, customising, investing in town, whatever.

Town design:
Something that suggests the town is large even without it being needed to explore every inch, various ally ways with gardens and such, maybe a hybred between mock tudor design and victorian, something asthethic.

A better castle with better gardens and actual rooms.

-- Minigames
-- Sidequests
--People that talk (EVERYONE talks in it, otherwise they're useless as an NPC)
-- Houses you can enter (where do the people in TP sleep? Do they just wander around all night? )
-- Shops

That was my major disapointment with TP. And the people in Castle Town who did talk said things that just related to the storyline..

Could you please find the quote for this? I am not doubting you just curious about it. Because if it IS set in Hyrule then it could be pretty cool since Nintendo wouldn't have to waste time re-making a Hyrule map, they could borrow TP's map & simply add on to it.

It would be nice if the people in the town weren't so static. You know, if they said stuff, moved around, etc. I would also love it if the camera didn't pan out, and I could run around and use my weapons and whatnot.

Yeah, I meant to give a source before. Gamespot Interview with Miyamoto

I would like to go into peoples houses. I loved how in Oot there were just pointless houses that had nothing to do with the story-line.
As for the shops I just want pointless armour and stuff.

I think OoT's Castle Town (Market) is great, and to be expanded on to meet today's standards is what I'd like. TP tried and it didn't quite do it for me...

In OoT you can have the dog to keep following you to the next loading area of the town and the cat in TP will not. OoT has it involved a fun sidequest on finding the right lady's dog.

OoT's has three mini-games, TP's only has one. I want there to be more. TP has that bug hunting that I have zero motivation to finish, and the poe hunt is pretty much OoT's gold skulltulas hunt version 2 and it's worst.

OoT's has interactive NPCs that are both entertaining and informative (showing off each mask to them is a bonus), in TP you feel left out where your attention only reaches to mostly the important NPCs. I want to feel connected to the "lesser" people, TP lacks this in their Castle Town. You can say TP has this in Ordon and Kakariko Village, but OoT also has it all outside of Castle Town with its Kokiri Forest and Kakariko Village. I would even say OoT's Kakariko Village is more lively than TP's.

tl;dr version: OoT did it right.

All I really want is a Hyrule castle town which is just as explorable as a dungeon (i.e. very explorable). I want to be able to find secrets which I can unveil using items found during the game. I want to be able to jump from one balcony to another to access a secret area.

I want to be surprised by every visit to Hyrule castle town.

I want a game where you can explore another land besides Hyrule, or at least a game set in the same era as Adventure of Link, where Hyrule has become a large continment of big islands, and there are lots of towns, of which 6 are named after the Awakened Sages of Ocarina of Time.

nope, your wrong. lol jk, i just know how to complain about people disagreeing with you all the time.

and that would be cool actually. maybe not the continnent, but i do want alot more shops with a few nods towards other zelda games.

TP's Hyrule town was almost there to satisfy me, but it never did reach it.

I want more hustle and bustle and more shops/homes in the next town. TP did a fantastic job, but it didn't quite reach there.

It would be nicer if Hyrule Castle Town was more like a Hyrule Castle CITY. With all of the buildings explorable, the camera being set in normal mode (meaning, it isn't fixed like it was in OOT and TP), people all over the place that actually have something for you to DO, and pretty much what everyone else who has posted so far wants. A huge Victorian/Middle Ages crossover city.

I wouldn't really mind a change in Hyrule Town.
I mainly want more outside settlements.
But NPC interaction would be nice.

I want something similar to OOT Castle Town, but bigger and i agree with Double A that you should be able to REALLY explore it, plus i want it to be atmospheric like OOT, when i played OOT i loved going to Castle Town at night. Or it could be something similar to Clock Town in MM.
Either way i just hope they don't pull another TP with all these NPCs there just for looks.

I felt like TP marketplace was unfinished. There weren't many places to go and people to speak to. I liked it's Size however. I want the next town (in Hyrule or not) be even bigger and more lively.

Clock Town was perfect for a game like Zelda. If they want a successful town then they should heavily model their work after the work placed into Clock Town. Every character had a story and the town went through steep emotional changes as the day went on. Just listen to the music in Clock Town as the time progresses. In the first day it was relatively cheery. The second day it rained nonstop and had slightly mellow music. The third day everyone is talking about leaving that night and a dark, sinister beat hums behind the tune giving a sense of urgency. Your three days are almost up.

Give us this in this generation with the enhanced hardware of the Wii over the GameCube and we will regain faith in the franchise.

Make it like Clocktown, but BIGGER and BETTER!!!! (& have huge side quests have better rewards then just a white mask that gets you ONE piece of heart! I mean like, wow, bummer)

It would be really cool if you could talk to EVERYONE in the town, even the ones that are busy and running around. It would be awesome if some of them launched into long conversations with you, some of them asked if you could help them with something, some just laughed at your clothes and walked away, some just made a noise and glared at you like you were a stalker or something and quickly hurried off, some could actually react to you following them and would eventually open up to you if you talked to them repeatedly. There's so much potential for the people alone, not to mention everything that could be done with the city itself.

TP had many people in the town with only a small handful you could actually interact with.

Simply put, I do not want that.

I want many people in the town but I want to be able to talk to all of them, I want them to be like how they did the people in Windwaker where everyone was unique.

That and I would like to be able to go inside all the buildings, I would like to see people actually do things besides wander around aimlessly
