The Legend Of Zelda - General Thread

I can understand where the troubles with the duets would come in, but I don't recall needing to retry any of them.

My only real problem with them was when you had to jump several notes at a time, as (I recall it) being fairly difficult to do so without playing all the notes in between.

I never had any trouble with the flute.

Own both PH and ST It was interesting to see what was essentially a scaled down Great Sea.

Those Bomb Trains in the latter can suck it though.

Oooo, that is one beautiful blade. However, one of the guys being called Ilya weirds me out.

That video was awesome and the sword looked great.

Apologies if this has been posted before, but the guy who writes Dresden Codak drew up a hypothetical reboot where Zelda herself is the main character and Link the sheltered royal. If it were real I'm not sure how I'd like it; the combat seems interesting and Goddesses know Zelda deserves a playable slot, but there are some things I'm not fond of, namely "Archduke Dragmire," the Ganon equivalent.

Thoughts?

Name your price.

I'd play the shit out of it but Ganondorf being an archduke, the Sheikah being a traveling circus, and the Gauntlet of Gamelon are no goes.

That sounds awesome.

I'd kinda like a game with Link and Zelda as co-leads, maybe Link as the Melee-er and Zelda the mage.

Hey, it worked for Luigi!

I think a variant on the Spirit Tracks method would work best- Just drop the Spirit part and have Zelda and Link running a tag-team.

Maybe or maybe not supplement it with a gender choice for Link at the start.

Nah. Rather than letting you play as a female Link, just letting you play as Zelda would be the best bet since that shouldn't net you any complaints provided the gameplay is good.

Zelda's outfit is perfect. I really need to play a spell sword Zelda right now.

EDIT: Oh my God, Zelda picked up Link's pot breaking obsession.

I just had a thought. How about a Zelda game based around the Xenoblade combat system, with Link, Zelda, and a new set of sages as the party?

So long as it was very clearly labeled as a spinoff, sure.

Why's that?

I've started ALBW! I got it last Christmas, but was preoccupied with SMTIV and Fire Emblem Awakening and never got to play it! So you'll be seeing me in here a lot from now on.

Initial thought: umm, why does Link have that mounted on his wall? Isn't that a bit, y'know, dangerous?

Probably due to differing too radically from the main Zelda game style and thus being a bit unsuited to a main series title.

I remember my friends and I entertaining an idea for a Zelda game where some new villain arises who thwarts Ganon early on through a sucker punch, and the three triforce bearers must each advance on their own to solve the dungeons brought about by it. Like, Link gathers up his gadgets and tools and solves dungeons in classic Zelda style, Zelda gains spells ala Din's Fire and must use their different properties to move through her dungeons, and Ganondorf could either rely purely on raw force and power, or use dark magic and minions alongside that to go through dungeons. Hijacking at the end by Ganon is optional, but the new villain would definitely be defeated in a cooperative puzzle battle.

I'm sure it'll be fine!

What's the worst that could happen?◊

Are Gully and THE BLACKSMITH supposed to be Link's brother and father? Sometimes Gully talks like they have the same dad and sometimes he doesn't.

EDIT: Hey, Dampe!

EDIT 2: The bad guy's got some awesome theme music.

Yuga's pretty great. It takes the sting out of Ganon yet again not being the main villain by him being upstaged by another universe's Ganon.

There hasn't been a game where Ganon's the outright Big Bad since TP, has there? I know he's at least a presence in ALBW though.

Think this was due to the bad reception of TP's big twist?

Even if it wasn't, I'm just glad Nintendo hasn't done the mistake since then. I'm all for having Ganon as the main Big Bad of a new game, just ..... make him actually be in the game, please. Like in OOT and TWW, where all of the wrongdoings, clever villainous plans and the like are done directly by him, and thus give the player a good motivation to kick his ass. I know I said this many times already, but even after his presence in TP was confirmed, Zant was still the primary target, Ganon just felt like a post-game epilogue boss.

Uh, never mind, then....

He's the Big Bad for Hyrule Warriors, if that counts.
