Well you all know by now how I feel about wind waker so here is the kind of zelda game I want, or would have liked.
Main Idea: The game is an advancement and evolution of Oot (since that game was near perfect in my opinion). Instead of trying to create a whole new zelda game we’re going to take what’s there and improve upon it, make it funner more innovative.
Graphics: Like Oot, of course they would be better because of gc’s better graphics capabilities, but the same style. Same character design for link except he would be more detailed.
Plot: I’m thinking something tragic, I’m not into the happy, cheery, colorful, hippie zelda that some people seem to want. I want dark, grim, bad ass zelda. The game takes place some odd years after mm. There is a mysterious plague in hyrule that kills off almost everyone and monsters are back, all over the place terrorizing the remaining survivors. Link comes on the scene after recovering from a coma he’s been in because he was whacked on the head in a mugging. So he must travel ghost town to ghost town investigating trying to figure out what’s going with the plague and what not.
Gameplay: I thought mm’s was a sub-par game mainly because it was too short (4 dungeons) and the whole time I was playing it I found myself wanting to be adult link. Yes, being adult link in Oot was gaming heaven, it touched on something that is truly awesome. So instead of going back to being little kid link we are going to start out as adult link, or at least a bad ass teenage link. The main flaws I found with Oot and Mm is that there wasn’t enough combat and the combat there was was too easy. Now this game would have the same engine and same play control (if it ain’t broke why fix it) but there would be a few more sword moves and you would be able to shoot laser beam thingies out of your sword when you are at full health. There would be a gigantic overworld, some lakes that you would have to sail across on a raft, and you could fish pretty much anywhere. There would be a lot more enemies to fight so if you wanted to go somewhere you would often have to fight your way through. Some enemies would have increased AI and they would chase you around the overworld so you would have to find a cave to hide in or something if you weren’t strong enough to take em. Also the baddies would be harder in general like those wolf guys, instead of just pawing at you they would try to jump on you and bite your head off. Rupees would be harder to come by and there would be a ton of different weapons that you could acquire from buying them or in dungeons. There would especially be more swords to get because I’m a sword freak and there would be various armor you could get, some would be bad ass with spikes on the shoulders and stuff. Also more spells would be available and you could freeze people and pick them up and throw them off a cliff like in Alttp. The dungeons would mostly be underground but some would be in huge castles, there would be around 10 full dungeons. Some castles would be heavily guarded the guys set up shooting arrows at you and crap. I’d make the dungeons more combat oriented, there would be puzzles too, but it would be more old school. Unlike the last several zelda games you would need all the upgrades you can get because the game is harder and you can’t just waltz through it carrying 20 potions. You could get a horse to ride around but you could also fight from your horse with sword, and take on other guys on horses. Music wouldn’t be a big part of the game, you would have a flute that could trigger some things but some secrets in the game would be less obvious like instead of having giants cracks everywhere you can bomb it would be more trial and error. There would be some funny things in the game too like being able to train a donkey and pig to ride on instead of your horse, and you could get a rusty old harmonica to play. Well let’s cut to the chase cause this is getting long. At the end of the game you eventually take on Gannon and he has that huge bad ass sword that he had in ssbm. You fight him man to man, no transforming, no bs. He is incredibly tough so not everyone will be able to beat the game. And instead of rescuing princess zelda at the end you finally just get married. That’s about it.
Extras: There is a multiplayer mode where you can fight as different characters one on one like gannon, link, evil link, hylian knights, and other baddies from the game. If you beat the game you can unlock gannon and play through the game as gannon. There is a secret mission you can unlock where you play as evil link and storm a castle full of good guys and eventually fight the king of hyrule. Anyway, that’s my idea of a good zelda game. If you would take wind waker over a game like this then we are truly from a different planet.
