Look nintendo i will not buy a wii u if your next zelda game is toon link. I want that tech demo you showed at E3 2 years ago. Toon link is cool but no to another toon link right now.

MadLad3808d ago (Edited 3808d ago )

I also really want another realistic Zelda.
That said, if that is not the case with the next releases, that is not going to stop me from buying it.
At the end of the day, Zelda is one of my absolute favorites and I am not going to miss a single one if I can help it.
Also, at the end of the day, I loved Toon Link.
As colonel said, he is definitely the most expressive. A personality really shines through with that art style.

Nothing wrong with toon link but that tech demo is well to great to not see a full game made of it.

I think people loved Toon Link because he was very expressive. He was the first (and only, actually) Link to have great expression in his eyes and face for every thing that happened around him. You could tell if he was scared, happy, nervous, etc.

And a lot of people loved Wind Waker for the variety of the worlds and gameplay it had.

whatever happened to that link they showed on that tech demo. Now thats the link I wanted!

TheLastVoiceOFsanity3808d ago

this kind of reminded me why everyone was so upset the first time they saw toon link. when it was first announced that a zelda game was in development for the game cube nintendo showed a photo realistic demo, and when the game was closer to the release they finally showed footage of wind waker, and everyone freaked out. i think the demo footage is on youtube. i'm a nintendo fan, but i hope that nintendo learned from that mistake. i don't think fans would have been as pissed if they never showed the realistic demo.

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

Inverno69d 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

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.

Eidolon100d ago (Edited 100d 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..

anast100d ago

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

Ristul100d 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.
