What to Expect From Zelda U?

Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess have all been heralded as incredible renditions of the classic tale, and unofficial flagship titles of their respective consoles. So how can we expect the debut Wii U Legend of Zelda title to fare in comparison to such a legacy?

great things...expect zelda wiiu to be most likely the best looking game or best game in general of this next generation

Neonridr4169d ago

I expect Nintendo to really push the envelope with this game. The art style and graphic quality should really be pushed to the limit this time.

stragomccloud4169d ago (Edited 4169d ago )

I really hope they stick with the water color style. That with a bit more horsepower would be eye-popping.

linkenski4169d ago

All i hope for it, is that it should play like a typical Zelda game, and not have touch gimmicks, that directly affect how you steer link around or anything.
But some clever touch or gyroscope puzzles here and there would be great :)

Neonridr4169d ago

I would tolerate say a gyroscopic boomerang which you could guide with the gamepad sort of how Batman Arkham City used it. That could make for some cool puzzles if Link had to throw his boomerang and you had to steer it through a maze hitting triggers along the way or something.

But I agree. Just because the gamepad has a screen doesn't mean that everything has to revolve around that.

I hope they use it the same way as OoT 3D used the touchscreen for gameplay, with a little bit of PH/ST/SS in there for items and puzzles.

I really liked the ability to jot down notes on the map in the DS games, and hope that returns too. The Uncharted Island was one of the niftiest puzzles in Phantom Hourglass.

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

Inverno94d 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

FinalFantasyFanatic125d 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.

Eidolon125d ago (Edited 124d 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..

anast124d ago

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

Ristul124d 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.

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.
