The Legend of Zelda may use DLC soon

Aonuma said, "We're certainly looking at different ways to add on content that would enhance the experience for the user – maybe more places to explore or just to enrich the experience beyond what is on the disc."

Makes sense, since N64DD was basically a system to add on content to LoZ:OoT- the Master Quest.

This would certainly be a way for them to keep content coming at a quicker pace.
Also, DLC would not have to be scrutinized as hard (by Nintendo) as the additional content would be extra and not the main or original vision.

It would be a great way to train RETRO, let some of them make DLC for LoZ while they ramp-up for the NEW Samus/Metroid Game.

(I haven't forgotten RETRO... hover my avatar!) >:(

They wanted it to be a persistent world as well with the DD addon. I hope they bring something similar back into their new zelda game.

How do you make a message show up on your picture like that?

I think it would actually worth well with LoZ only because Nintendo is involved and won't be greedy with the DLC.

They are after quality with LoZ not quantity, otherwise we would have yearly LoZ games on EVERY platform.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW3964d ago

I am not saying that the DLC has to be Cheap- I am just saying that they can have fun with it.

For instance- And this maybe a bad example Twilight Princess- what if Nintendo had made Link's Crossbow Training DLC content.

Link's Cross Bow training is not a Zelda Game but it is fun and it is clearly set in the Zelda Universe.
It was a very fun game, quality but it was not a Full game.

What if they made DLC for WW and instead focused on creating more Stealth Esq. missions?

So what I mean by "scrutinized as hard (by Nintendo) as the additional content would be extra and not the main or original vision" is that the DLC does not have to jog with the story and they do not have to worry about creating it or including it if it does not quite jog with the story.

If Link's Cross Bow training was in TP it would not quite make sense with the original vision of TP.

Wind Waker cutted islands DLC!!!

TuxedoMoon3965d ago (Edited 3965d ago )

I only want EXPANSION DLC, not things to make the game easier. Play the game, get better at it, and beat the game!

$2 for 500 ruppies? nope!
$5 for a new link costume? nope!
$15 for Ura/Master quest expansion with new items and questline? Sure why not?

Kos-Mos3965d ago

Totally agree. There's so much bulldog dlc out there.

ah Nintendo is becoming history!!!

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno76d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic107d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon107d ago (Edited 107d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast107d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul107d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

Zelda Fan Brings Godzilla to Life in Tears of the Kingdom

A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.

Knightofelemia144d ago

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
