Your own Zelda Game

Come on, like you've never wished you were the lead designer on the next Zelda game. What would be the basic storyline for your game? The whole plot at the beginning thing. New or reappearing characters? What are the dungeons, and why are they like that? Name the different parts of your map. Let's hear it all!

I'll reply back with my ideas.

check the fanfic section for the ideas of alot of people lol. (mine's there too)

The fan-movie on youtube where ganon became a sage, and where the last battle against him was in the chamber of the sage...that would just be the coolest
But the dungeons?
1: Forest
2: Fire
3: Water
then something else...electricity

My idea

I don't feel like typing it all here.

Basically it's a game taking place before the great flood in the backstory of WW.

Do NOT make fun of me 'cause of the lame title!!!!!This is a story start similar to MM.Link is riding in the forest,falls asleep,and his horse,Time Flute,sword,tunics,and boots are swiped.When he tries to get them back,he is sedated by some wierd force.He wakes in an Infirmary,in ankle-length ROBES(oh,God)and no hat(think TP hair)in Loamhedge Abbey,about 4000 miles from Hyrule.He learns he is the twenty-fourth of the Links,fathered by Matthias the Warrior,who fought on behalf of the Abbey.Link goes on a quest for the sword,belt,scabbard,and sword of Matthias.at the end,a boss fight with Asmodeus ,the serpent who poisoned him,ensues.

An adult Link has been having dreams and wakes up to an apparition (Zelda) telling him that Hyrule is in danger. He must travel to seven dungeons to collect the seven pieces of the Triforce, then confront the villain of the game. He goes through the seven dungeons, slays the beasts inside, gets the pieces of the Triforce, then goes to Hyrule castle to fight and save the kingdom. He takes down the wizard inside and has saved the day. But everything goes dark, and the wizard, dying, tries to stand up. The ground is shaking, and Ganondorf appears. It turns out that he was the apparition in the very beginning telling Link to "save" Hyrule. The beasts that he killed were guardians whose job was to keep Ganondorf in the sacred realm, and the pieces of the Triforce Link was collecting were the pieces of the Triforce of Power. The wizard, who was the last guardian of the sacred realm, floods Hyrule, trapping the three of them together forever in a watery grave.

Mine? Basically my fanfic and its sequel. XD

And my fanfic happens to be a direct sequel to MM. Link is once again in his adult form, but he aged naturally this time, of course. He's returning to Hyrule after a seven year search for Navi. On the brink of giving up, Link was about to go straight to Hyrule anyway when the fairy had finally reappeared. With the two reunited, they started back towards their homeland. On the way, they meet a girl named Kelli (whose name means warrior/defender, both of which Kelli actually is), who like Link had a great destiny fulfilled. As the wielder of the legendary Sun Sword, Kelli held the power to defeat the darkness of evil housed within those who possessed the same sun power as the sword itself, but turned evil. The wielder of this blade is known as the Guardian of the Sun, protector of the sword's sacred power.

Upon meeting this mysterious girl, Link learns Hyrule has been put in danger once more, but by a strange, new evil presence that people could plainly see was not Ganondorf or some other familiar face. Zelda is missing, and the King of Hyrule had been imprisoned in his own castle dungeon. Additionally, the six sages were taken to places in Hyrule that were not known to many eyes before and imprisoned as well. One below a cursed woodland, one deep within a vast mountain, one housed in a great lake, one within the homes of the dead, one buried in the ruins of the sand, one watching the temple of light.

Hyrule Castle, on the other hand, had been taken over by this new evil presence, and is no longer accessible except for the castle dungeon (Kelli knew of a hidden passage leading there, however the way from there to the first floor was completely sealed up). Then Kelli figures Zelda had been taken by the new evil and was imprisoned somewhere in the castle. After they rescue the King, they figure the only way to find out how to get in is to rescue the sages. Link also has to find the counterpart to the Sun Sword, the mystical Moon Sword and take the title of Guardian of the Moon. Only with their combined power can Link and Kelli save Hyrule.

Both Link and Kelli are playable characters. In two player mode, you can switch between them any time you want whenever the two are working together side by side. Sometimes you can only use Kelli for the time being while other times Link is only available. In two player mode, someone can join in to control Kelli while player one controls Link. This option can only be used when the two are working side by side, once again. Thankfully, they end up doing this quite often.

Dungeons? 7 total in the "game" I'm describing right now:

Dungeon 1: Death Forest
Dungeon 2: Lava Cavern
Dungeon 3: Fortress of Ice
Dungeon 4: Tombs of the Dead
Dungeon 5: Desert Ruins
Dungeon 6: Shrine of Power
Dungeon 7: Evil Hyrule Castle

'Tis all for now. I'll reply again when I feel like giving the idea for this "game's" sequel.

Probably my Goron fic or my 'The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Shades' idea.

I once made a thread of it.

I did have a few ideas for my own Zelda game. One about Link growing up in New Hyrule, but eventually he has to awaken the descendants of the Seven Sages, and break the seal on old Hyrule, and restore it to its former glory.

I did have a few ideas for some characters! XP

Emer is a Hylian girl, and Link's best friend. She is an apprentice sorceress but has a slightly-self defeating personality, which is holding her back. She awakens as the sage of Light, as the heir of Rauru.

Parizade is a Gerudo fortune teller from the town of Lazuli Atoll. She is a skilled actress and tarot reader, as well as having genuine powers of prophecy. Despite this, it does not always work, but she can usually use her powers of showmanship to fake her way through sessions where her powers fail. While she has a crooked personality, she is incredibly loyal to the few she cares about. Surprisingly, she has black hair unlike most Gerudo, however she dyes it red for that feeling of "authenticity." She awakens as the Sage of Spirit, as the heir of Nabooru.

Clionna is a Zora priestess, and is renowned for her beauty and serenity. She boasts a proud lineage, that can be traced through many famous Zoras, including the Sage of Water herself. Despite being young she has a wisdom and compassion that is far beyond her years. Despite this, she is incredibly vain, and only ventures out in public after making sure her she is looking at her best (which involves a very practiced beautification ritual.)

Obelia is Clionna's younger sister, and is the second Zora priestess. Despite this she is a very tomboyish and wild little girl, and speaks with frankness that often hits sore spots (and often earns a smack from her sister.) Secretly, she is very proud of her lineage too, and secretly aspires to be like her sister.

Hey, explaining our characters is a cool idea too!

Kelli, whom was in my earlier post, is a Hylian girl who has no knowledge of her family or where she was born. She's the same age as Link, but has quite a contrasting personality. While Kelli is kind and caring, especially to those close to her, she tends to be bossy, impatient, and secretive. She usually spends her days in Kakariko or in Hyrule Castle Town, but the King sent her to search for Link when the kingdom was first attacked by the new evil. She rides a palomino horse named Sunfire, whom was given to her by Zelda.

Now for a character in my idea's sequel.

Judo is a Hylian man only about a year older than Link and Kelli and is Kelli's childhood best friend, whom he was separated from for seven years. They were reunited at Hyrule Castle during a monster attack. Judo commands Hyrule's Royal Knights as their general and is well-respected for his highly toned skills at the way of the sword and his loyal and caring ways. You might think a fun- and joke-loving guy like Judo wouldn't make a very good knight, but in his case he certainly does. While in battle, Judo is as serious and focused as ever, always striving to complete his missions, though his recklessness and mild clumsiness often get in the way. Outside of his job, he loves messing around, telling jokes, and just being plain funny. He cares about Kelli greatly, and eventually falls in love with her.



Now for the plot. A few weeks after the defeat of the mysterious new evil that had corrupted Hyrule, strange things were beginning to happen. Firstly, Zelda and Kelli ended up having the same prophetic dream the previous night about seven horses racing to a temple in a meadow. Link reported a dream he had himself dealing with two kingdoms fighting it out and monsters siding with one of them. Not knowing at all what either of the dreams meant, they let it go for now.

Next, the townsfolk of Hyrule Castle Town were claiming to have seen monsters roaming around at night and alerted the castle soldiers. The soldiers investigated, but found nothing. Time and time again this went on, until the soldiers refused to go at all. The matter was reviewed by the King and he sent Link, Kelli, and Zelda to talk the townsfolk out of believing they were seeing monsters. Figuring they wouldn't need to fight, they didn't bring any weapons.

However, the claims turned out to be true. When the three were back in the castle, two monsters attacked Kelli and gave chase. They disappeared within minutes. The King was alerted and a search began. Judo ended up finding Kelli in the castle courtyard and saved her from the monsters. Kelli didn't recognize him at first but once she did, she was more than happy to see him again.

After these incidents, the appearance of the monsters was soon explained. Horses began vanishing from Hyrule. First Zelda's and Link's horses, then Kelli's and Judo's. A horse from the ranch and one from Gerudo Valley were last. No more were stolen after that and for awhile it was unknown where or why only those specific horses were taken. It was soon discovered that one of them had been spotted in the mountains of the kingdom of Mayule, a neighboring land much larger than Hyrule. Link, Kelli, and Judo went to find them. The King made Zelda stay.

But things turn for the worst. Mayulean soldiers are vanishing, an enemy kingdom, Tyrania, has been launching numerous attacks on them because of the feud going on between the two lands and more. What little is left of the Mayulean army along with Judo and his men continuously fight against the Tyranians and the monsters in a big bloody war while the search for the horses and the reasoning behind their disappearances continues on.

Your ideas make my Oracle of Shades look bad in comparison.

Then again, I don't think mine made much sense anyway.

Well, people always did say I have good ideas. xP

But I'm sure yours isn't that bad, TGM. ^^ Though I've only seen your Goron fic, not the Oracle one.

But if you like my ideas, I made a Mario game plot and Fire Emblem game plot and turned them into fics as well. Though this thread isn't for them, obviously. XD

thers a series of videos on utube titled a link to the smash
i thought it was cool

Heh. Well my Oracle idea was more like an idea thread, not a fic.
[Idea...] Oracle of Shades You can read it there, just don't post there because it would be bad bumping.

Glad to hear that you read my Goron fic. Though I do think fanfiction.net truly is a better place for it.

A fan of the Redwall series, eh?

I only read some of it though, because I wasn't ever really that interested in Gorons.

Interesting Oracle idea though! ^^

Oh btw, I forgot one more thing about my sequel plot. Kelli and Link were only playable in the first story, but come the sequel four characters are playable! You can switch between Link, Zelda, Kelli, and Judo this time, each of them having their own strengths and weaknesses (Zelda sneaks away from Hyrule with a bow to help with the conflicts in Mayule, btw). Of course, you can only switch between them when you have that option. ;P

Add Ike to the new Zelda game. He's going to be Link's uke for the rest of the adventure.

That was so funny I forgot to laugh.

Anyway, I'd really like to see more going on with the Hylian soldiers. A war in the game would be awesome, which is why I stuck it in one of my ideas.

No one ever is...

Well, as OhMyGasha once said there, the idea of colors wouldn't really work in a Zelda game. I'm sad.

My one would be about a parallel, evil dimension taking over Hyrule. It would be Link v Dark Link, Zelda v Dark Zelda, and surprisingly, Ganon is a good guy for once and is fighting his evil-er side. Each dark character(including dark Nayru, Farore and Din) is hidden in the middle of a dungeon and their basically the boss. Link is the main character, duh and the other Triforce bearers are his sidekicks. You can switch to either of them to solve puzzles. When you defeat all 6 dark characters, you face the guy who started it all, some mad scientist who is aiming for world domination. When he is defeated the portal to the dimension is closed. The final dungeon will be Hyrule Castle and Ganon betrays Link and Zelda. Then you fight him and you can finally switch to Zelda for help. Then you defeat him and the end.
And Link will speak. A lot. And it would probably be set in New Hyrule. And no Navi!! Thank God! She will be replaced with a Midna-like person.
Dungeons:
Zora Temple - Boss: Dark Nayru
Goron Volcano - Boss: Dark Din
Kokiri Forest Ruins - Boss: Dark Farore
Hidden Sheikah Cave - Boss: Dark Zelda/Sheik
Gerudo Canyons - Boss: Dark Ganon
Hero of Time's Tomb - Boss: Dark Link and Zombie OoT Link(oh snap!)
Abandoned Labortatory - Boss: Mad Scientist
Hyrule Castle - Boss: Ganon
