Thread 717620878

What do you want Nintendo to do for the next Zelda? Should they continue the BotW/TotK format or try something else?

they should make a Zelda a MMO where everyone plays link from a parallel universe

something else. i dont mind open world i just want this setting gone

>>717620878 (OP)
no weird furry stuff and add full frontal nudity

>>717620878 (OP)
put it on hardware that the franchise deserves.
Zelda is being held back by being on 15 year old technology, as the PC emulation of TOTK shows.

>>717620878 (OP)
Smaller map, 8 dungeons, bring back some metroid like elements. Split the game into 2 parts, you can do dungeons out of order. But please no more open world slop filled with Bokoblin camps and Korok puzzles.
I do like the Elden Ring structure where you have alot of freedom with mini dungeons to find but still have to go through chokepoints to reach the later parts so you get a sense of progression rather than wandering around cleaning whatever you stumble across

>>717620878 (OP)
5000 korok seed quests, nothing else. in fact make the entire game about the cute little fellas

>>717620969
This. If they're gonna rehash the world again then it should have multiplayer

>>717620878 (OP)
>What do you want Nintendo to do for the next Zelda?

I want whatever they DON'T do.

>>717620878 (OP)
Aonuma confirmed the BOTK/open air formula was staying in a December 2023 interview.
Why the fuck do you people not keep track of these things you supposedly care about?

Bring back Midna or some ass slut

>>717621873
Because all I really care about is having a constant supply of things to complain about.

>>717620878 (OP)
I just want them to drop the weapon durability and shrines, make people work for hearts. I don't mind having weapon variety; honestly I think they should introduce stats that don't tie to health and instead it's more like tes. basically if you use heavy weapons it increases your strength, if you use light weapons it increases your dexterity, etc. also basic actions like running, cooking, climbing, and whatnot increase other stats. killing monsters gives resources that can be used to make armor and clothes. they could add in so many systems without all the gimmicky stuff.

how do you even play this since nintendo was too much of a pussy and bullied the emulator?

>>717620878 (OP)
That's a hell of a clean logo, what AI did you use to upscale it?

>>717620878 (OP)
It won't be the same cast but it sure as shit will follow a very similar formula. 50m sales to back it up.

Can you be a transgender frognigger somewhere else?

ZELDA'S PERFECT ASS

>>717621975
>make people work for hearts

You mean like by completing challenges spread throughout the game world? Something like, I dunno, solving a puzzle, or defeating an enemy?

>>717622090
Sorry, but 4chan needs my brand of unapologetic blunt honesty.

Keep the open world, but go back to having a linear story

Stop pretending Link is still an avatar for the player, he's evolved past that

>>717622000
torrents are a thing, zoomie

>>717622115
>Something like, I dunno, solving a puzzle, or defeating an enemy?
Nah, too much work. I deserve heart pieces just for entering obscure locations because exploring is hardcore.

Bring back the hookshot. I do not care how they do it; copy Just Cause with a glider+hookshot combo if you must. Just let me HOOOOOOOK

>>717620878 (OP)
stop creating the ability for amazing vehicles then putting obstacles in the way to actually enjoy them

>>717620878 (OP)
I hope they go back to child Link but I’m pretty sure he’s doomed to AA 2D holdover games. Adult Link has been the star of every 3D Zelda since TwiPri.

>>717622093
Based but clean it up janny

>>717622405
Link in TOTK is the first "Adult Link" to actually be an adult, being somewhere in his early 20s.
Even TP Link is still a teenager at 17, just like OOT's 'Adult' Link.

>>717622405
>to AA 2D holdover games
Maybe not even that, when's the last time he showed up? Spirit Tracks?

>>717620878 (OP)
I think the way the overworld is presented is perfect, but either there should be fewer shrines and they're all made larger and more substantial, or just keep the same number of shrines and have more traditional dungeons.

I think the next step in the series should combine the BOTW format with more classic elements. Basically take LTTP and give it a huge map.

>>717620878 (OP)
>take me out of Hyrule
>let me explore the ocean floor and have actual stuff to find down there (bring in sea Zoras)
>let me shrink
I expect none of this.

>>717622576
Wasn’t there a rumor that Nintendo wanted a grizzled middle aged Link for TP since everyone was butthurt over WW being too childish at the time?
>>717622653
Either Link’s Awakening 2019 or ALBW.

>>717622653
I'm pretty sure EOW uses a Young Link, it's just not obvious because he's in the game for like ten minutes total and the shitty plastic artstyle obscures it.

>>717622871
Maybe it's the artstyle but LA Link is not a child. Idk about ALBW's Link either.

>>717622653
I guess the toon links from triforce heroes if you're not counting LA remake or ALBW

>>717620878 (OP)
I want it to be an ever expanding world like Genshin that keeps growing and changing for years. Gameplay wise make combat suck less

>>717620878 (OP)
Same framework but smaller world and more focus on scripted stuff, basically hybrid between switch and N64 entries. And ig less shit, i'd prefer every checkbox-type activity meaningfully explore an aspect of a mechanic or mechanics interaction rather than having 999 of boxes to check. I'd say EOW was pretty good at being smaller and more focused except it's LA framework iteration, so they clearly know what's good and I hope they won't bind themselves by expectations of TOTK/BOTW-level grandiosity.

>>717620969
No, make a spinoff mmo during the hylian civil war
>faction A with hylians, zora
>faction B with gerudo, gorons

>>717623335
>hylian civil war
Woah anon we can't have that, everyone knows that all evil and conflict in any way, shape, or form is actually the work of the DEMON KING!

>>717623335
what side are the rito taking? or are they neutral

Spolier:

Ocarina of Time *Remake* 2026. Some expanded content, reimagined graphics and new music arrangements etc

Next Zelda: they're trying to make an open world that feels populated - other agentic npcs actually doing things in the world plus adversaries that you can bump into, hunt and be hunted by. That's the gimmick along with a new graphic style

Dear god

>>717623335
>expecting nintendo to even acknowledge the hyrulean civil war
>in current year
Modern Zelda can't do moral ambiguity, Hyrule can't be even the slightest bit evil. Have you seen what's happened to the Sheikah? Do you think "le quirky hyper-advanced asians who are Hylia's chosen" could make a place like the Shadow Temple?
>>717623494
I hate Skyward Sword so much it's unreal.

>>717623729
Weird, I thought the remake was coming out this year.
And the year before that.
And the year before that.
And

>>717623729
I want a Wind Waker remake.

>>717623873
no, its 2026. The Botw team started on it 2022 when totk was veing play tested for a year

>>717623729
OoT Remake is more or less a given. Drum up hype for the movie while flexing the Switch 2’s power. And we can all call the fans OoTRannies.

>>717623992
But OOTR is the randomizer...

>>717620878 (OP)
How about the story of the Hero of Men?

>>717623817
>expecting Nintendo to make a game based on a story
They have admitted to producing gameplay first before producing any type of story for it.

>>717622052
Pretty sure it's the official hi-res render from Nintendo themselves

>>717623213
you got any more of them jifs

Set it in a modern looking Los Angeles, make Link a young black man

>>717624353
They already shot down the modern day concept while making BOTW.

>>717623715
This is in the based pre OOT era, they dont exist

>>717623965
Absolute missed opportunity that they didn’t rework the Wind Waker HD port for Switch with proper lighting and restore the originally gutted dungeons. That game deserves a FULL modern remake with oceanic weather systems, dynamic sea encounters, and get this-more actual pirate gameplay. Let me board enemy ships, steal loot, fight crews, and not just tediously sail between bland enemy towers every 20 minutes. We had Peak Vibes and they just let it rot on the Wii U.

>>717624513
Amazing how Zelda managed to become the only 80’s franchise not to become enshittified.

>Open world is fine
>Just add actual fucking dungeons
>Give it a more traditional story structure
>Make it firmly rooted in medieval European fantasy again
It's not gonna happen with Fujiyamawannahackaloogiwamalamadingdong on the team but still

>>717624878
if you look at the fire temple in totk, and imagine it at conceptual design time, it was probably amazing

a subterranean multi level dungeon with mine cart connections and some rails are broken

somehow the execution was bodged and invited cheesing it because it made no sense to most players

i don't know what my point is, other than they tried in the right direction

>>717624684
>restore the originally gutted dungeons

It would be so nice. Even if the Zelda team is addicted to giant fields, they could still put one in Wind Waker by digging up the old concept of the Triforce hunt/Master Sword dungeons being down in Old Hyrule. I truly believe WW could thrive under the BOTW formula.
My biggest want is for my first Zelda game to not be shit anymore.

>>717620878 (OP)
idk man maybe zeldas pussy up big screen and just using wii to fuck her. and then femboy link could be the expansion, btw give it pink high heels and little latex skirt, some lipstick.

>>717620878 (OP)
I want Botw 3 just to spit /v/

>>717626887
You don't want to be spitting /v/, it tastes terrible.

>>717625964
Wind Waker was basically an attempt at a massive open world game with actually decent visuals at a time where it was just baaaaaaaaaaarely possible on consoles and the dev team ended up getting fucked over by a rushed development cycle. Honestly I feel like giving the concept the BotW treatment would be the best way to bring it to its full potential. Just you know, more dungeons. Would be kino of the highest order if they just said fuck it and brought the art style back but used modern hardware to render it in better frames, with more effects, and details that never got too busy so as to take away from the charm. A man can dream though, a man can dream.
