Return to Termina?

[Bluelink6]

What if Nintendo make another Zelda game set in termina, Years after Link saved it from the suicidal moon? That link became legend, and his feats as a hero, shrouded in the mists of time.....And now Link is back. But a new link. born in termina, on the 10th anniversary of termina being saved. And the villain....Ganondorf's shadow. Or rather, for the majority of the game it is his shadow.
Badly beaten by link from Hyrule, He is struggling to escape. He has managed to come through in his shadow form, from the sacred realm, but needs dark power to manifest himself in termina. He casts a shadow across the land, and Dark energy spreads. Termina falls into ruin in some places across it, and Ganondorf's power grows. Link, the hero, has to defeat him by finding the center's of several dungeons across termina And destroy the dark cores. If he can do that, He won't need any sages.
Ganondorf simply can't manifest himself in termina without Those power nodes of Dark energy. He will be sucked back into the sacred realm.

So waht does everyone think of this? A zelda game set in termina?

[blackice_cc]

Well, that sounds pretty interesting. It would be neat. The game being in Termina is a good idea, but maybe we need someone else besides Ganondorf? He's been in most of the games, but he wasn't in MM, so if there's a new game in Termina I don't think Ganondorf should be the antagonist. Not Majora either though, because it was sort of a one time thing. I can't think of any good new evil characters at the moment though.

[kpllk]

Thats not a bad idea. Sounds good to me.

[ZeroJinKui]

it'd be interesting to a see a remake of termina with more up-to-date technology, but ganondorf probably shouldnt be the villain...

maybe a dark sorceror similar to vaati or something attempting to corrupt the power of the four guardians and trying to control termina, unlike majora who was trying to annihilate everything...?

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

That sounds very interesting. I would certainly buy it, but I agree with an above poster that Ganon should not be the villian.

[Kitsu]

It definitely sounds like quite an interesting idea, if it were a game I'd buy it. However, a few things. I would really like to see another original villain other than Ganondorf. Also, I think it should include a little bit more detail about how Termina falls into shadow, whether or not Ganondorf is in it.

[Josh]

Well it's of course better than anything I could ever come up with, and of course I'd love to see Ganondorf or Ganon again since he rocks, but I think that Termina and Ganondorf conflict in my mind. Termina to me is a sidequest, something apart from the main series of Ganondorf, Link, Zelda, and Hyrule. To me, Ganondorf and Termina stay apart.

[UsayEldaZay]

sounds awesome! you make it sound so cool, and if the description sounds good then hopefully the game is twice as good :p
good idea :]

[Kitsu]

I also think that, if this is going to take place in Termina, moreover 10 years later, that there should be more areas to explore, e.g. more towns and the like.

I also think it would be interesting if you could see how people changed, as in Ocarina of Time, over the decade. Furthermore, I think some of the same characters should be kept, whilst introducing new ones, some which may be related to the old ones. Just an idea.

[Josh]

Maybe. We could even have a new hero. One that saves Termina, one that really isn't even Link, and a whole completely other thing, same characters maybe, but everything else, the story, the hero, completely different.

[MrMosley]

I liked MM, and would love to see another game in Termina. For the main boss, an idea that would be perfect would be the Fierce Diety, or at least someone who gets his mask. There could be two main possibilities here

1. The main boss is someone who acquired the Fierce Diety Mask, and runs rampid, somewhat like Skull Kid done with Majora's Mask, but not the same plot.

Perhaps if the Fierce Diety character was thought to be the actual hero who saved Termina, the Hero of Time, or at least his spirit reborn. Thus, all the people of Termina would respect him greatly. He would then use their trust to overtake the land and begin to spread his dark magic to all the inhabitants of Termina, which is where Link would come in to stop him. Of course, this would create a problem between the people of Termina and Link, as they would think you are the evil one trying to destroy their Hero.


2. The game takes place when the Fierce Diety was still around. The player would control Link, as usual, but it would be a different generational Link, who wouldn't actually wear the same clothes, but something like the traditional Link getup. Lets say have the hero become the Fierce Diety in the end, and show how his power was sealed within the mask.

Like if the hero gained some kind of power, becoming the Fierce Diety, but couldn't control his own dark powers. It would eventually begin to take over his mind, and he would begin to become evil. This is when the hero would find a way to rid himself of the darkness, which would become the Essence of the Fierce Diety, After defeating him as a final boss (like fighting Dark Link at the end of AoL), he would be sealed within the mask.

People changing...I'm thinking Romani is now a teenager or adult.


Well, that sounds pretty interesting. It would be neat. The game being in Termina is a good idea, but maybe we need someone else besides Ganondorf? He's been in most of the games, but he wasn't in MM, so if there's a new game in Termina I don't think Ganondorf should be the antagonist. Not Majora either though, because it was sort of a one time thing. I can't think of any good new evil characters at the moment though.

That's true....What other villains are candidates? I cant see General onox Being the villain. Butif the villain changes, the quest cant happen.
Link had to destroy Dark power nodes that are letting Ganondorf slip through to termina, but if Ganondorf isnt the villain there needs to also be something else that needs destroying, unless the villain is, like ganondorf, trying to slip through to termina.

But then, who could this villain be?

[kpllk]

I just hope that it isn't timed. Will it be timed? (say no)

[Bluelink6]

No. Timed would be awful- Can you imagine 2 days to destrpy 7 -8 dark energy nodes?

[Midna666]

I think that Termina's role in the Zelda games is over.

[Kitsu]

I really liked Majora's Mask, and enjoyed playing through Termina for a change. But I must concur, I think if this time Termina looked just like it originally did, when the same theme, I would definitely not care much for it.
I would rather it be something more like what Twilight Princess did, take an old idea-design-and remake it. Maybe make Termina larger and the like.
Otherwise, I think it'd get a bit boring.

[Bluelink6]

My idea would be an expanded, changed, termina. People have aged, like romani is an adult. and zora hall and the great bay isnow lots bigger, with a sea to go with it. And there are more zoras, and lemme think....zora hall is expanded and that old band from in majora's mask are older now.

[blackice_cc]

I think the nodes idea wouldn't fit too well for anyone but Ganondorf, but I don't think the nodes are a great idea in the first place. And I meant a COMPLETELY new antagonist, not a re-used one. I kind of like Dark_link01's idea there. Might work pretty well.

[Bluelink6]

Yeah something completely new...but what or who ?

[Mikau]

A girl (I am bored of Link) of Termina that dreams with the dark nodes, and discover that is a fragment of the evil moon, that is possessed by the dark powers of Fierce Deity and Majora. They changed into one and are trying to destroing Termina one for all, and that girl is the one who can stop it, because her dreams full of wisdom. The clock can be a monster that will proctect the moon when she wants to go to moon, where is Fierce Deity and Majora. Lately, she discover that moon is the false moon. The true moon is hidden in the space with the true enemy: The Royal King of the Moon.:xd:

[Bluelink6]

Not a bad idea..except the moon king.

[Durion]

For all you people who it should not be Ganondorf (Inlcuding Myself), I have a surprise villian for you all.

LINKS FATHER :eek:

LOL

[Bluelink6]

Link's father......who's taht ?

[MrMosley]

Link's father......who's taht ?

No one. The only time Link's dad was ever shown was in the Ocarina of Time manga (non-canon) where he was a knight of Hyrule killed during the war which Link's mom had to run from and hide him in the Kokiri Forest.

[Axle the Beast]

I personally would love another game in Termina. MM was my favorite Zelda game and there are many aspects of Termina I liked a lot.

I also had a fangame concept set in termina. It took place something like 5 or 10 years after MM and involved evil ghosts from Ikana. I really liked Ikana.

Sounds interesting.

I think that if there were another game were to return to Termina, I'd like to see more of/about the Ikana canyon, and the Garo. I think that learning more about their history and this war, or whatever it was referred to as, that happened between the people living there.
I think it would be especially interesting if the game explored the past of Termina, but also continued on into its future.

Thanks! ^_^

HELL YES. I know every area in the game had it's own story, but honestly, the one in Ikana Canyon (all the stuff about it's past) was the most epic and interesting, not to mention badass and creepy. ^_^

[Bluelink6]

Maybe they could have A larger part of the quest set in ilkana canyon.

[Amelie]

I really like this idea ^^

I hope dark link would be in it ^^

[Bluelink6]

Hmm, that's an idea....Maybe in termina Feirce Deity's Dark soul finally left his mask and Became the Dark Link Of Termina. that sounds like an idea to me...

[Durion]

Maybe this new one could invovle the old Link forgetting the masks behind when he left and the new DarkLink finding the FD mask where he plans to take down the ruler of Termina

[El Bagu]

I also think that, if this is going to take place in Termina, moreover 10 years later, that there should be more areas to explore, e.g. more towns and the like.

There should really be more areas to discover. And I also believe that it should take place later on. Maybe 100 years or more. Maybe termina could be threatened by an invasion from an evil force from a nearby "land". Moreover I think it would be really interesting if Link had to do some time travelling to get some clues and to be able to prevent a disaster (maybe he could use a harp or something ;))

[Bluelink6]

Time travel ? Oh no......Time travel makes my head hurt...
And if it was 100 years it would be legend, and i was thinknig maybe the oot link would somehow have a role in this game?

If it were an invasion, they could make it more of the Garo, perhaps.

(No, I'm not just pushing the idea of Ikana being more involved. The Garo were from another land, even though the ones you fought died while in Ikana.)

[MrMosley]

My vote would have to be for a prequel. Most questions that people have regarding Majora's Mask is how something came to be the way it is. So why not answer those questions? Like I stated in a previous post, the main character could maybe be a Link-like character who eventually becomes the Fierce Diety by being granted some sort of power, then to rid himself of the evil power he finds a way to put it into a mask. The main boss, maybe Majora, could be living this time. It would be kool to see Majora grant you these powers, then when you realize they are evil and begin to take over your mind, the same way you put them into the FD mask would eventually be the way you seal Majora inside a mask as well after defeating him/her.

Even if it wasn't using this same plot, a prequel could answer these same kind of questions. Who was Majora? Who was the Fierce Diety? How did their powers become sealed within a mask? What group led to the destruction of the Ikana Kingdom/construction of the Stone Tower? Personally, I would rather know all of this while exploring a larger Termina than build onto the already confusing questions yet to be answered with a sequel.

100 years after Majora's Mask is TP... so there would be a clash... as DL said, a prequel would be awesome, maybe with Minish cap link(for the believers of the fact that it is the first on the timeline)

[pupairo12]

I know the last post in this thread was way back in 2009, but I just have to bump this. I'd love to see another adventure based in Termina, and MrMosley has the best idea so far in this thread.

[ShaneOMac713]

That sounds like a very interesting LoZ game if Nintendo made a game like that I would go out and buy it even if I don't have the system to play it.

[pupairo12]

Well, now that I think about it, I would like to add to the idea :P The best way I can present this would be in specific points. Here it goes:

Console
In my opinion, I would like to see the return to Termina be presented on either the Wii or the WiiU, probably the latter with current development. The motion controls of the wii, again, in my opinion, make you feel more connected to the game, like you're actually Link, and that's just with the Twilight Princess method of flicking your wrist. I would like the new game to take on a feel of Skyward Sword, with more in depth combat, but with added magic characteristics. Plus, the DS games weren't all that hard, so I wouldn't want system limitations to ruin the game.

Story Information
150 years before the events of MM, Termina and Hyrule were very close. Both nations worshiped the three Goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore. One day, a traveler from the regions north of Ikana wandered into the kingdom. This traveler was strange, quite different in the physical appearance of the Terminans and the Hylians. This traveler was the demon Majora. Seeing the great land of Termina sprawled out before him from the highest point of Ikana Hill, Majora knew that this was his kingdom for the taking. Teaching the Terminans that he was the ruler, his pagan ways spread across the kingdom. A great tower was erected at the point where he first entered Termina, and that tower became to be known as Stone Tower, housing a temple worshiping the great might of Majora. Angered by Majora's actions, the Goddesses sent a hero to vanquish the demon. That hero was Link. Although, Link was young and feeble minded at the time. Sensing the Goddesses' intentions, Majora took Link as an apprentice, trying to alter his destiny. After 10 years of training, Link was strong and beloved by the Terminans who worshiped Majora, while he was hated by the small group who remained faithful to the Goddesses. Unwisely, Majora sent Link to convert these people to the belief in Majora. The opposite happened, they managed to bring Link back to the side of the Goddesses, the side of Light. With the Fierce Deity power entrusted to him by Majora, Link vanquished the demon and used his own power to seal both of them into masks. With no demon left to worship, the Terminans turned back to the Goddesses. The people took the two masks and hid them, putting Link (in the form of a mask) in a shrine, and Majora's Mask in another shrine. After the events in the game, Majora's Mask is stolen by the Dark Tribe and used in their hexing rituals.

World
In this game, the overworld would be much larger than that of Majora's Mask, and with more variance. The four main directions would remain though, with Woodfall to the South, Ikana to the East, Snowhead to the North, and Great Bay to the West. Each area would be expanded, and not so populated as it is in MM. Also, Clock Town wouldn't be founded yet, and there would be many villages scattered around the large Termina Field and the four regions.


This would be my ideal game. Any thoughts, comments, changes?

[OhYeah!]

Yeah, nice idea! It would be really fun to discover Termina again. I wonder how everything would look.

[ShaneOMac713]

That sounds like a wonderful idea pupairo12 that would make an excellent video game. I would love to see what Termina would look like then.
