I love the idea of Velociraptor Link. I think there is plenty of room for more 'history' before Skyward Sword (I think Anouma even hinted at that when talking about making a game the 'first' in chronolgy), but delving into the prehistory may have to take a backseat until late in the history of...

I'm a fan of your standard pencil-and-paper tapletop RPG's. I also really enjoy miniture wargames (favorites being Warmachine and Warhammer:40K). I like painting minitures, love creating characters. I like crawling through a dungeon with a small party and a few mules, and enjoy fighting in...

I'm gonna have to agree with DarkestLink here, Link using magic hasn't fit with the stories lately. I've only just gotten the Master Sword in TWW, but the use of magic there seems kind of forced as well. Give me abilities and story that allow magic to really fit, and I'll be all sorts of happy.

If the Satelleview Ancient Stone Tablets was in some way re-released, then by all means, use the Mii's. It would just make sense. Otherwise, no.

If Nintendo took a serious crack at a 2D Zelda, I'd love to see them incorporate a quasi-3D world, where you can sense that you are travaling in more than just 2 directions. Parts of the Paper Mario series come to mind in that regard. If it was done, it has to be done seriously, but also needs...

Definetly a good idea, especially if it got implemented in a MM remake/sequal. Only problem I see is the story element, especially if we play as Link. There's always that sense of urgency, that the main quest is always looming. I don't know if sandbox would fit in that instance, or if Nintendo...

I always felt that camping and rushing were part of the same coin. You see both in real combat scenarios. However, it really depends on the actual game scenario. CTF and territorial games (Battlefield 2/3) are more camping friendly than CoD. But to me both are legit.

And maybe that's what the series should look at. Classic RPG's like FF and Ultima gave a lot of inspiration to the modern open world games. Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Bioshock. They have to be doing something right to be such HUGE success's outside of our cultures want for something new.

DarkestLink, you may like AoL, 100% linear yet still fairly open. You can't get to the 3rd dungeon without the 1sts item or the hammer, which you still need the candle for. However, there is still a lot of real estate to explore. Open exploration is a great tool for story development, but not...

When I was in high school and got an Xbox, my friends called me WolfMonkey (Fairly hairy and agile, climbed trees really well), but that name was already taken on Xbox Live. When their auto-generated names came up, the last one was PatheticBarrel. Even though I no longer use Xbox, this is my...

Great points for and against music instruments in the games. I would like to add another bit to this conversation: What would be your ideal use of music in the next game(s)? For me it would have to be the earlier stated idea of a mostly unused instrument, storywise, that can be used to...

Though it's not on TV, but is part of a Youtube channel, I suggest Bravest Warriors. It's from Pendalton Ward, who made Adventure Time. A little more adult than AT as well, but has also started a physical comic book that is just as good.

Wow... I'd almost forgotten about this thread... Sarianae, You make a lot of great points, several I hadn't thought of. Your idea of Mt. Crenal being a western mountain as opposed to being part of Death Mountain also fits when you think about the Royal Valley and Gerudo Valley possibly being...

I really enjoy a lot of your ideas, but instead of one single hub, I'd like to see each particular 'town' have the same things going on. Zora's Domain, Goron City, Kakariko, Ordon/Lon Lon Ranch, Castle Town, and the Gerudo Mesa. This way we could see MM levels of NPC development spread...

I'd be cool with Grog making a return. Especially if it involves a trading sequence...

By this he means in the games. For the story, Provinces have been part of it for a long time, just unimportant for OoT. For us, provinces have only existed in TP and SS. DarkestLink, the Temple of Time in TP and OoT are the same when you realize that the area where Link speaks with all the...

Music in itself is a integral part of the series. I really just think that the *having* to play it as part of the plot or to continue has become almost expected. If we went back to playing instruments like in OoT/MM it would be enjoyable, or as was earlier stated, make it almost completely...

I enjoyed the idea of the duet with Kina, but like JucieJ said the harp is an accompiant, and thus the effect was really moot.

Though I agree with the facts, Sealed Temple=OoT Temple of Time=Sacred Grove, I want to play with a little tidbit you brought up. What if the Temple of Time in OoT was built as a precautionary seal of the Sacred Realm? Thus the Master Sword is moved, pedestal and all. This begins the first...

That would be enjoyable! With the harp, I really felt like I had no control over whatever song was being played. If there had been a way to select the song (a la LA) or more control over how it was played, both the instrument and the Kina side quest would have been more enjoyable. That's why...

I've so far been cracking jokes about the realtionship between the current 3-day cycle almost ending and the fact that I've been completing the interview phase at several potential jobs these couple days. Each success has gotten a positive joke about the world probably not ending. Each failure...

Music and musical instruments have always been an important part of the Zelda series, starting with the flute in LoZ. This has been a reacurring element in almost every major game (FS,FSA excluded), and starting with LA has become integral to both the games and their stories. With OoT/MM...

I think by Game lore and Zelda lore, Zorth is talking about the difference between Story and Design. The Zelda lore/Story is something that in a series needs to have references and some cohesiveness, while still allowing each story to be it's own. Kind of how the Story of Hercules can be told...

Are you experiencing that weird 'I have/need to do things, but I'm bored'? That sucks. Try this: Go to a local park, and just traverse. Find one with a creek or overgrown paths. Let your mind wander and then, when you return home, write down what you thought, or if you saw anything cool. You...

Got this idea thanks to another thread: Magic 8 Ball Fi.

Gerudo Valley from OoT would fit fairly nicely north of Gerudo Desert in TP. Line up the Spirit Temple with the Arbiter grounds. I'll give you that Zora's Domain and Death Mountain are moved quite a bit. However, I prefer TP layout to OoT. With the TP layout, one can easily expand the Eastern...

Why not just combine the action with harvesting? Sounds fun. Throw a grape hard enough and it explodes too. I'm thinking of being careful with them and getting some flavor out of this stuff.

Gale Boomerang handheld fan. Would have to be oscillating. I hate one direction fans.

I wonder how sharp a flavor deku nuts/seeds have... Also just remembered the Goat Cheese.

I'd like to know your thoughts on what food is in Hyrule. Sustenance isn't a big issue in the games, but I'm curious as to what is available, and what we could reproduce. From a lot of the recent games, we know milk to be a fairly staple part of the diet, as well as pumpkins. Making soup from...

I know I've posted before about my earliest Zelda memory being the original games, but this thread seems to like being about OoT... For me, I remember going to the Wal-Mart in my town with my parents, and my Step-dad and I stopping by Electronics. They had OoT set up so you could play it, and...

OoT is the most popular, but I just can't see it being a good candidate for a 'movie', pacing wise. The best pace game for a movie might actually be the original game.

Interesting thought with Snowhead there. I was always under the impression that TP took place about a century after OoT, as TWW and TP are at roughly the same time. This could allow for the erosion of Zora's Domain. I think the Goron's hangout seems to be more like a base of operations for the...

Personally, I think a lot of what the community wants to see more of in the games (Shiekah/Gerudo background, Twili, any of the wars) provide amazing threads for movies, and allow new characters to take the lead away from Link. Like how at first glance LoTR is about the ring and the hobbits, but...

I immediately thought of Spider-Man: Edge of Time, which our friendly hero, through a portal thingy, comes in contact with Spider-man 2099. In the end I believe the story lead to Spider-Man finishing his task in our time with the help of 2099, who knows full well that it will end his existence...

10/10 It's unique, if even if I don't get it.

I liked the game back when I played it, and really thought it would have made a great ongoing series if it wasn't quite so simple in its mechanics. This is the game that really got me liking the RPG co-op genre and the co-op genre in general.

I can follow where you're hearing a song in there. Kind of. Maybe if we heard it in the voice of a Oocoo, which the enchantment is thought to be written for.

I'd like to see the Twili again, but really want to get more on the connections between the -lin and -fols races. I've stated in the past that I'd also love to see the Fokka, Goriya and Dariya's return, and that still.

For making great wishes!

I'm hooked on Abney Parks 'Through Your Eyes on Christmas Eve'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=_DgeFS6CBXk

I think each of the 3 timelines requires the stories to be told long after the ends, or a time after each story. Not during though. It doesn't fit the way the stories are presented and doesn't allow for acceptable chronology errors that we've come to love and bicker over. What if the downfall...

As many of us know and as confirmed by Hyrule Historia, OoA/ OoS is a chronological sequel to ALttP and is followed byLA. According to Hyrule Historia, Link leaves Labrynna after the linked game by boat, as seen in the game. It's said that he leaves to continue his training, but some fans...

I think that overall, the Time Travel mechanic is getting to be a little much. But seeing as the original game was going to take place between the past and future and Link was both the link between them and between the player and the game, I like the nod of doing so. More so in TP's Temple of...

After playing SS, getting the Master Sword in TP became... more interesting? This is mainly because of Minda being shocked that 'the sword accepted you as its master'. It's then that you realize how much Midna didn't trust you and was really just using you. Similar to Zelda in SS...

My earliest memory is getting a Nintendo for my 5th birthday and, though I don't remember the game being with it, I do remember having and reading the manual for Legend of Zelda. I wouldn't actually play the game, as well as Zelda II, until nearly 5 years later. But that manual had a lot of...

I agree that 3 timelines makes perfect sense. With the idea of Link not going after opening the Sacred Realm himself, this would make a nice ploy for Ganondorf to grab the Triforce by himself, as the time it would in turn take for him to actually open it himself would allow him to become more...

A lot of people seemed fairly upset with the revelation in Hyrule Historia of the Downfall Timeline following OoT. Most just dislike the idea that so many games in the series rely on Link failing in his battle with Ganon. What if the ending events of OoT actually have a different ending? Is...

I'll give you that the game was especially linear compared to past installments, but all of the 3D games have been more and more this way. I agree that the controls, though I believe well intentioned, fell a little flat. Except for flying Loftwings, the Beetle, and rolling bombs. The art style...

Name: The Void Gender: Unknown Species: Spirit Age:Unimportant Alignment: Indifferent Role: Eraser of Spirit Appearance: A cloaked, humanoid figure, face shrouded in darkness except for 4 glowing red orbs within it's hood. Hood is long and drapes backwards from the top (similar to a Zora...
