The whole “moving in a new direction” thing’s good, but not too far. (Maybe Ganon’s death in the first five minutes would be cool though) If anyone’s gonna revolutionize the LoZ series, it would have to be a combined work of creative LoZ fans, hopefully including a lot of what all LoZ fans want. Unfortunately where would that kind of networking on that scale exist?

ok ur ideas are pretty good but im tell you one thing. HAVE GANONDORF KILLED IN THE FIRST SCEEN. ive fought ganon and ganondorf game after game and in sick of it. thats what made majora’s mask so good NO GANON. by the way link getting his triforce striped from him is a pretty sick idea.

FUCKIN A!!!!! THAT IS THE MOST AMAZING IDEA EVER!!! That just leaves it open for soooo much! oh my God you have no idea how amazingly stoked I would be if this became a game! You could have all sorts of cool and heart breaking things happen like Link getting stripped of his triforce piece because of the whole rage thing. And Zelda dying and then in the end she could come back some how which would be awesome! How dare you ever say that Link should die just so he could be replaced by a new character! Fuck you man! I think it’s Ganonsuck that needs to be replaced with a new character! I mean honestly! HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO STAB HIM IN THE HEAD!!! thats what you should do dude…in the end kill ganondorf and make a new enemy for Link to fight in the next one some how. And in the end have Link and Zelda kiss or hug or high five or something that shows they care for each other. I totally support your ideas.

why not have the game have multipile ending’s. so that way we can all be happy.
so in one we have link saving zelda.The bacics. In another ending we can have the world plummet into oblivion.And I was thinking about bringing links shadow back to life.his shodow teams up with gannon but then betrais him. then it’s up to you to finish him off.But with some friend’s from previous games.

Actually, now that I have read the full idea at

http://www.wiiloaded.com/The-Legend-of-Zelda-Serenitys-Edge-t-12632-wii

I have to say the idea looks quite good.

Pitch it at Nintendo, but before you do, get a Nintendo staff’s email address off the web, then substitute the Zelda creator’s name for the staff’s name with the rest of the email address.

If you send this via normal Nintendo feedback you will get an automated Disney style response; hardly surprising given the similarities between Mario and Mickey (at least in their voice, dress sense and fighting the villian to save the girl).

the way i see it, your story takes to abrupt of a departure from what zelda is but i have got my own idea, something like a cross between zelda and oblivion, but its not exactly a zelda game, but still is in a way, you see you dont play as link you can choose from a slew of races from the zelda universe and the entire thing takes place in a hyrule ish place, but its during a huge war where link is already a little older, im thinkin late 20’s or 30’s but you play as someone who is kind of following in his footsteps sorta thing where sometime you might even fight beside link and somehow in the end you come to be a legend like he is, anyhow just an idea, i think that would be pretty cool, but dont get me wrong or anything i wouldnt want the entire franchise to go in this direction cause i still like playing as link but maybe just for one game

It has been evolving, but the changes suggested will stop it being a Zelda game. I’m all for fresh (clearly what they intended with Wind Waker and what they achieved with Ocarina) but the changes are NOT Zelda, it’s really simple.

Here’s an example.

Let’s take Mario et al. However, the Princess cannot be rescued because shes been taking across by Koopa. In stead of running and jumping, Mario challenges Koopa to a football match and if he wins, he rescues the Princess.

Gone are the platforming mechanics and in is a completely different game with the only similarities being the names.

Ok, so he’s keeping it supposedly-within genre, but the essence is the same; he’s making a NEW game, not a new Zelda game. Evolution is fantastic, but only when implemented well. Look at Sonic and Mario. One of them glided blissfully into 3d and has gone on pretty much from strength to strength with little evolution. The other evolved so much it made it self indeniably piss-poor (Shadow the Hedgehog).

Well if you guys want to play the same type of Zelda game over and over again why don’t you just keep playing the ones that are already out? The series needs something fresh to keep it going. Look at it in the long run, they can’t just keep making the same game with a different name and slightly different story, the series needs to evolve and move beyond what it was ten years ago.

@ Lemmon – You proved my point though. “It sounds different” because it’s not a Zelda game, only the names used have any bearing and relation to it. Though, don’t get me wrong, I still liked the idea.

@ rello – But then you’d be rehasing a game that people have played bef…wait, hang on, that’ll work perfectly for Zelda. Do that!

Why not make gannon turn link to the darkside, wow what an excellent idea. Why not have Gannon take link to the darkside & have link’s son save Hyrule & his dad. He can use his zelda jedi power’s in saving everything. why not even have a sad ending & let gannon rule Hyrlue & make a second part continue. A very famous successful use this method was shenemue on dreamcast. That was such an amazing story. I hope nintendo give me millions for my idea here. Copyright 12 Novemember on my idea

Well, I see lotsa flames. Anyway. I liked the idea, it sounds different and lets face it… Nintendo need to take a new road for Zelda especially after that flop of a game, Twilight Princess.

If they don’t do this then I definitely hope they try something different. Because they need it. Mario and Metroid both are continuing to improve, Zelda has taken a step backwards after the awesomeness of Wind Waker.

don’t fool yourself into thinking you have a good idea

@ cookin

If you’re developing a multi-million (insert currency) game as part of a franchise, you need to be critical.

Besides, there’s a differnce between adding stuff and making changes and making it a whole other game, which he clearly wants to do with this “destroy everything we knew at the beginning and go from there on out with a new game”. He really might as well call it something completely different, because only the names he have used would keep it to be a Zelda game.

The idea’s are of course good, don’t get me wrong (especially if you read more of the context of his post) but…nah, he just wants another game set in the universe that is Zelda, NOT a new Zelda game.

Hey guys you’re being a bit overly critical. I mean this is obviously only going to be a very small part at the start of the game, I’m sure this guy isn’t stupid enough to know that he can just pitch this and everything will be good. He’s probbably got heaps more ideas on the rest of the story and things like that so maybe you should wait and see what else he comes up with before you dismiss it.

that might go good except how about having a lot more villans like having three that would be neat and more monsters to use link’s abilities on and having him do more acrobatics and one last thing it should not be more mature it should be rated E 10+
