idea for a Zelda game
« on: July 15, 2003, 07:28:12 PM »
what about they make the new zelda in the era just before they forged the Master Sword???

here is my own little story

You are Link,the king's main knight.A new threat has make his appearance(Ganon) who is looking for the Triforce of Wisdom(Zelda's one) or he's gonna put Hyrule(or whatever place to make change) in hell(up to you).The king ask some wise men to build a powerful weapon to destroy evil....it would be Link's quest to find all the ingredients to build the sword and hire some knights against Ganon's army...(if I remember in LttP,they mentionned that there was seven wise men)..Link could do a quest for each man....

anyway I thought it would be good....it would add dungeons since we miss a few dungeons in the latests Zelda's.....it would bring a more epic story about the Master Sword and its provenance


what do you think????
are we perfectly imperfect or imperfectly perfect?

well....I've looked at the other threads and it seems that the mention of a war is nothing new....but still it would be great to play that part of Zelda time with the Master Sword to be crafted...

How about they make the next game and you get to play as Ganon and see the story from his perspective and destroy everything, then in the sequel it picks right up, but now you get to play Link and set everything right again.

Also I wouldnt mind being able to play as Zelda in a game for once.

Seeing how the master sword was initially created would be pretty cool tho.

I NEVER want to see anything like that in a main Zelda game.  Perhaps as a sidequest game, such as Zelda RPG or something.  But really, if you want to see that exact scenario, play Star Craft, and the expansion, Brood War.  The single player quest is very good and features a storyline similar to that.

That would be akin to seeing Excalibur or the Mana Sword created.  Some things never need saying.

Now that being said, if someone thinks that they can do better than Nintendo, feel free to make your own game.
Once I had, a little game
I liked to crawl back into my brain
I think you know the game I mean

Well basically any Zelda game that Nintendo makes is going to be purchased by me.

When you mentioned war it made me think of something. Link has always been on his own saving the world and there's nothing wrong with that but maybe to have a taste of a large scale battle. Link fighting with the knights of Hyrule against the Dark Lord(Ganon). I always love the scenes from D-Day where the soldiers are storming the beach and the shells are hitting the ground throwing dirt everywhere. So picture Link with tons of other knights running towards the enemy soldiers and attacking and then the cannons fire and the arrows launch and mines explode sending them flying. You could assume different positions like stand on top of a small tower on wheels launching arrows and bombs down below. And then it would be caught on fire and you would have to bail out, joining the battle below. That would be a blast.

All right, I have to admit that would be cool.  But then it wouldn't be a Zelda game anymore.  Zelda isn't a RTS(real-time strategy) game.  Now if you could put Zelda characters in a RTS as secret characters that would kick ass.
I've gotta say what I've gotta say, and then I swear I'll go away, but I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise.

It wouldn't necessarily be a RTS it would just have the same major battles. That would be a creative touch to have, rather then just you against the world have some people on your side, no smarter then the enemy AI no dumber, just add more color to the game. Turning Zelda into a RTS just isn't right.
    Ocarina Jedi, you did bring up a interesting point. Imagine a SSB style RTS. I don't know how well it'd do but it would be neat. Mass-producing winged-koopas to bomb the enemy base while you used up nearly all your resources to spawn a giant bird of death like the one in WW While chained chomps gaurded the entrance to your castle. Now that would be cool!
