Speculations for new Zelda game?

[Transient Link]

Yes there is one coming soon for those who didnt know. It was announced that they were working on a new Zelda and Mario game at E3. Anyways what are you speculations? I'm thinking there is a good chance for a Majora's Mask sequel/prequel. I mean remember when there were only a few TP screenshots out there, and how many fans freaked when they saw Midnas mask and thought it had something to do with Majora? Im sure that kinda turned a few heads in Nintendo's Offices. I mean the last few zelda games have been almost direct sequels. In that WW is directly connected to OoT, PH is directly connected to WW, and TP is directly connected to OoT, via Ganondorfs wound and the mention of the Hero of Time, there for the only other game missing a direct sequel is Majora's Mask.

Oh and a little cool fact as a bonus from TP, if you look on one of the walls in the hallways of Hyrule Castle, the Biggorons Sword is sitting on a sword display case type thing, all shiney lol. I was mad when I couldnt pick it up and go OoT style on some enemies lol.

1. which hallway exactly?

2. Read IGN's article about the next possible Zelda game...and thats basically what I want.

I too would like something dealing with Majora's Mask. I'm getting sick of the same old thing of "meet link, get three mugguffins, story point, get 4-6 more random thingamabobs, fight Ganon, end".
I'm surprised Nintendo has yet to try and repeat MM, it is still the most underrated Zelda game ever X_X;;

[Tupin]

I REALLY want the next Zelda game to break the expectations everyone has for a Zelda game. The guy who made it said Twilight Princess was the last time you'll recognize Link, which I am glad for.

TP tried so hard to be OOT and failed. The wolf element worked decently enough, but the game didn't offer any storytelling in the way of emotion. The only person that had more than three or four facial expressions was Midna.

The sequel to MM should star a Link like the one in Windwaker. Not THE Link in Windwaker, just one that is in a cel-shaded style. Come to think of it, another game that feels like Windwaker would be great.

Agreed, and if your playing the Wii version, its in the room with the lantern stairs *where you light them in odd order to get stairs up in right possition* and turn right and go down that hallway, its right by the door to your right =P

Shigeru Miyamoto you mean? Lol the guy who made it :P And ya, but I dont want them to change Link too much.

No, I think Eiji Aonuma makes Zelda now.

Aonuma is the current director of day to day operations (dungeon design, plot points, etc.), while Miyamoto is the producer. He isn't on day to day stuff, but everything has to get his approval to get into the game for the most part. The last game Miyamoto was in complete control over was Ocaraina of Time (And you wonder why it's considered my most to be the best Zelda game XD ).

Windwaker was better than Ocarina of Time by a long shot, but Majora's Mask beats out Windwaker just by a little bit.

Um...I don't know how you can say that. WW was fantastic, don't get me wrong, but two things in particular make it worse in my (and most ppl I know, opinion). Sailing as boring as FUCK and having to pay tingle to find triforce shards... Ugh...that was horrible...

Sailing was made okay by the sense of discovery by finding a new island, and paying Tingle was the ONLY bad thing about the game, and at least that gave you a lot of time to explore.

Really, I can't find a single flaw with Windwaker, other than the fact that it's linked with Phantom Hourglass.

boring sailing! 0_0;;
It'd be fine if it didn't take so darn long to get from place to place X_X;;

At least the scenery changes and you get one of the best songs to ever be in a videogame while you are sailing.

[Triforceman22]

many fans find that WW isn't the best.

To me, OoT was far better than WW. But MM beats both of them

the sailing was very annoying.
Sense of discovery eh?

lets see: Ocean, Ocean, Ocean, Ocean, Ocean, Ocean, ISLAND!!!! .... nothing of importance on island...
AND more Ocean.

Sailing was trecherous and I hope they never bring it back.

(Then again the great music was the only thing decent during the long ass trip to each island...)

Don't get me wrong, other than the sailing, WW was an alright game.
Just not as good as OoT and MM.

Now MM is the best and most under-rated Zelda title ever.

People would say that it's the best because of:

A: Original story plot
B: It's uniqueness of striving off the Triforce and Zelda gets kidnapped plot.
C: The three day cycle (Which is alot of time to finish what you need to finish.... X_X)
D: New and original antagonist
E: Creepy Moon. (We ALL love that moon. :P)
F: Many Sidequests
G: Masks, Masks, Masks
H: Intresting NPC's
I: Hard and fun temples (Stone Tower for the intercourse ing win!)
J: Awesome items ( if only it had the master sword.... )
K: Alot things to do BEFORE each temple
L: Musical score. (I swear, Majora's Mask has by far, the best Musical score out of any Zelda game)
M: Replay value bursting from the seems (Things that are actualy WORTH getting....)
N: Very cool locales

I could go on and on.....

Now Ocarina of time still has that sense of newness in it even though the game is 10 freaking years old.
You can never fully get tired of it... (Allegretto is a prime example of this...)

WW, I find that I get rather tired of...
I don't know why though, maybe because of the format it has, or something else.....

Another thing I don't really like about WW (and I know i'm going to have Tuppy complain about,)
are the visuals.

I'm not saying they are down right terrible, I just think that the Zelda series should stick with the more serious and realistic tone of the artwork. I don't really find it all amazing to control a 3 foot, cat eyed kid in a green hat swinging his 6 inch tall sword at Porky the pigs.... X_X

Also, as Nayr has stated before, the Triforce shards.
That put a stop to me playing WW for many months, due to it's demanding of ruppee's, and Sailing for 2 hours just to find one god darned piece!

I was also dissapointed at the lack of difficulty. It took me almost a year to beat OoT and MM, whereas it took me a week to get to the fourth temple....

The only thing that made the game longer than what it actually is, is the sailing.

Wow, I just typed quite alot....  D=

Remember, this is all,

MY OPINION!

If you are going to complain about it, then you'll be probably wasting you're time....

I really do like Majora's Mask better, and it is a great game.

However, the reason why it took such a short time for you to beat Windwaker is because your gaming skills got better during the 5 year time period of 1998-2003.

The main reason why I like the cartoony style (I still like the realistic style games, though) is because it creates a narrative in ways a Zelda game that was never a big driving point of the story (even though MM used it to a lesser extent), emotion.

Just the way he interacted with characters and how the NPCs treated him and each other made the game and characters much more believable.

I guess I'm like the only Zelda fan that enjoyed sailing.  :P

I liked it too, also OoT had the same basic plot of ALttP, but ALttP did it better IMO
