What if ...

What if the next Zelda (not Skyward Sword, but the next one) would be multiplayer-based with a more open world and a even more unique graphical style (for example like everything would seem to look hand drawn)? I'm not talking about a MMO, but multiplayer co-op, as seen in Four Swords adventures, just that the game would be 3D.

What do you think?

IDK if I want hand drawn (depends) or completely co-op. I would like to see them toy around with a mutliplayer that is like four swords but much better. I dont like the missions in four swords, I prefer one big world. I was also hoping that you got to keep items in four swords and level up and such, but no such luck. You just beat a level and you dont keep any of the items. I was sort of hoping Ocarina of Time 3DS would have an unlockable (maybe once you get all the skulltulas or beat the game) world with a few hours of play in that is purely co-op. So it doesnt obstruct the masterpiece that is Ocarina of Time, but it allows for new gameplay and for them to test a co-op feature. I think it would be really cool if you a portal to some skulltulla world opened up once you got them all and you could enter and play with a buddy.

That's not fun, at all.

I didn't mean completely co-op. You could still play the game on your own and whatnot, just that the real fun would begin when you had real players playing with you. I mean you could have multiple ways of solving puzzles or obstacles, unlocking previously hidden parts, ect. Of course the world would be big, I was implying that in my previous post. It would be more open with more freedom, interactivity and whatnot. But of course they shouldn't just make a Elder Scrolls knock off :)

It should still be a typical Zelda game, just going in new (and imo exciting) direction.

I would like some optional multiplayer quests or mini campaigns, but with alot of single player content because nothing beats single player campaignsJuarN18

What I ment is that the game would still be fully playlable on your own, but multiplayer co-op would open a new dimension to the game (imo atleast).

Hmm in my opinion to have co-op be optional it would either make co-op pretty poorly implemented, or the gameplay of zelda would need to be changed durastically. I think its either make the game or a sidequest of the game co-op only or dont do it at all. Or change zelda A LOT and make it option co-op, but then zelda would be like a 3D diablo and so forth. Which would be frikkin awesome, but I think rather than using zelda, they should have Retro make a game like that :P.

Think of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The game is still fun on your own, but the real fun comes when you got players playing the game with you.

I'm pretty sure that game was created just to support the GBA-GC link, they where really into that sort of thing then. I don't think this is something on their priority list.

But zelda revolves around story and puzzle solving, both of which would make co-op feel tacked on if it was not the main focus of the game.

Then that Zelda game better play like Fable 3 or Assassin's Creed.

What if the next Zelda (not Skyward Sword, but the next one) would be multiplayer-based with a more open world and a even more unique graphical style (for example like everything would seem to look hand drawn)? I'm not talking about a MMO, but multiplayer co-op, as seen in Four Swords adventures, just that the game would be 3D.

What do you think?

nameless12345

multiplayer co-op i'm interested and a Zelda game i'm sold where can I buy it.

Ew. Ew. Ew.

No thanks!

Zelda game should be a pure adventure game, if it's not then it's not zelda

:cry::cry::cry:

that would be it for the Wii then. I would just sell it and get the new bc console next holiday

i want a new four swords adventures. this means top-down view and wind waker styIe for the graphics (which was the artstyIe choice for the first FSA). i want my four swords funny, so the more comic art direction fits better.BrunoBRS

I would be cool with this if it also kept the 16bit look and was not devolped by the first Zelda team

Hand drawn would be pretty awesome, but damn, it would take a long time!

Actually, if I were Mister Iwata, I'd tell them to make a 16 bit-ish Four Swords kind of thing for Wiiware (with local multiplayer, of course). If you buy Skyward Sword, you get a code to get the other game for free or something. Both save files could interact with each other and you unlock stuff on the Wiiware game (not vital stuff, mind you, just small but cool things) as you progress in Skyward Sword and viceversa.
