Imagine Ganonondorf, finding the silver arrows beforeypu and destroying them.  Leaving yousaying...DANG, now how do Ibeat him? 

you mean like every game right before you get the master sword

No I mean something more like Metroid Fusion.  Actually...that model mixed with Shadow Link would be perfect.  I would love to have a villain that is scary.  It is pursuing you and you can't defeat it...all you can do is stale or run. 

What makes Dark Link compelling is that you can do so much stuff with him.  You could have him literally be a mini-boss in almost every dungeon...each encounter requires a different strategy to get away.  From trapping him, to hookshot racing over a lava pit, While he is pursuing you.  Some encounters can even have a pass fail scenario.  You don't defeat him and he takes the item you were searching for from the dungeon, or takes an item you already collected, and now you have to get it back.  Also this character can interact with NPCs which mean that you might visit characters once and then again they react because they thought Dark Link was you.  You can even mix in the day and night system to have him hunt you in the main over world at night.   

that is somewhat what i was going for with the spider thing, but i feel if done throughout the game it would get repetitive.

fusion had the SA-X encounters scripted, this  is imo why they worked so well.

I've been smited nearly 10 times today, which is just sad. I don't care about the score, mind you, but it's just depressing to me that someone has the time and energy to devote to that. Maybe if I got rid of the karma system that person would find something less horribly pathetic to devote their energy to.

and then replace it with a like/dislike system for each post so that it doesn't become

Pokepal and TJ are having a race to the bottom.

with little to no idea what they are doing wrong...

The White Knight of Capitalism is back!

Defending what? Ian said you shouldn't see ads with services you pay for, I was letting him know that it's ALWAY been that way (ads with paid services). That's called defending reality, rather than embracing lies and delusions.

Besides, capitalism is a good thing and I would like you to name a different system that has actually WORKED.

yes, capitalism is so perfect... (sarcasm)

You're not supposed to get ads for stuff you pay for.

You pay for cable, cable has ads. Internet sites that charge a subscription also has ads. Newspapers and magazines cost money and they have ads. I'ts always been the case that stuff that costs money still have ads.

TJ part of the issue is that many Lets Plays have long since passed the line where they can possibly be considered 'Transformative Work'.

i honestly don't think the formula needs to be changed because it is just that: a formula. each game link to the past onwards has built itself around that formula.

however nintendo needs to make the game feel different. maybe one of the dungeons has a boss that is basically causing trouble for you the entire time.

For example maybe you are in a dungeon and the boss of the dungeon (a giant spider) decides to leave the boss chamber and at various points in the first two thirds of the dungeon basically starts messing with you(destroying that big staircase you were going up, having some baby spiders attack you, at one point chasing you through a corridor and fighting you as a miniboss before finally returning to its chamber.)

the entire dungeon basically has link having to deal with this creature and is in a way, a boss battle in itself

shinji_70 is better at shilling for Microsoft than the people who are actually on their payroll.

kinda like how i seem to be better at coming up with discussion topics for this forum then the people who are actually on the NWR payroll,

In Twilight Princess there is one particular moment i will always remember. Near the entrance to Zoras Domain i was basically wandering around for whatever reason when the usual Twilight portal opened overhead. i was left as Human Link dealing with three of the twili beasts and some lady prevented me from turning into a wolf. after dispatching the darn things that lady basically dragged me into using bomb arrows to clear some rocks that had fallen in the rapids from a canoe.

if only the game had more moments like that...

I also feel like Twilight Princess built a world filled with potential. The various villages in Hyrule felt very well designed and the game was filled with some very clever characters. and alot of them never really got a chance to shine.

i recently played through twilight princess a bit and as i was playing I began to ask myself "whats wrong with the Zelda formula". it is a bit blatant in that particular game but honestly the formula works fine. What do you think? does it need to be changed or does it simply need to be handled differently...

I think the best kind of "Community Engagement" is when you insult the community (and their mothers), harass the more impressionable members, and smite everyone with a broken karma system while making sure all the blame for the smiting goes on the wrong person.

so.... RFN 103 with karma?
