"Many have pondered the thought of a more mature and darker Zelda. We at BootHammer have especially been thinking about this lately and feel it could be a great move. After releasing the colorful and young spirited Link from the Wind Waker remake and the innovative yet nostalgic Link Between worlds, why not follow up with a stunning highly detailed Hyrule, starring an older Link possibly showing scars from numerous adventures and battles. Imagine dungeons infused with incredible lighting and creatures that invoke a sense of fear and anticipation of facing."
Screen Rant, "The return of one controversial character could have an incredible effect on The Legend of Zelda, prompting the introduction of new features."
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
I'm personally leaning more towards a darker-toned variety of animated cell-shading, myself.
Going for photo-realism with a Zelda title would just seem...off.
Twilight Princess got it pretty good, but still not juuuuuuust right.
I'd be interested to see Nintendo try a bit of Anime-style graphics for the next one, though.
As long as they don't bury Link's tunic in assorted buckles and zippers, that is.XD
Darker more mature tone please.
I'm sure I'm wrong but mmorpg.
Considering that Zelda is at heart a lighthearted series that rarely goes into "darker" territory I prefer the wind waker/link to the past/skyward sword style. Realistic graphics get worse overtime, while stylized can look good forever, this is especially true considering that wind waker still looks better than twilight princess to this day because the textures on TP aged terribly in comparison. Skyward Sword was the perfect style for the series imo. Stylized but properly proportioned characters is a great thing.
I'm hoping for a very atmospheric world drenching in detail and featuring an older Link. Would be a new experience for fans of the franchise and refreshing IMO.
