So what would you like the premise of Zelda Wii U to be? After playing Skyward Sword, I want it to be kind of dark.

I want it to take place in the midst of a civil war in Hyrule or something, and just as it's about to end, Zelda disappears and the King is killed. The Loyalists (for lack of a better word) of Hyrule go crazy and blame the (I don't really want to use this word for fear of it sounding like Skyrim, but it's the only one) rebels. So the war continues, but with no King the people are fighting without a leader. Now this is where Link comes in. Here, he is one of the King's best knights (and pretty friendly with Zelda ), so he's devastated. He doesn't understand how someone could sneak into the castle, murder the King, kidnap the Princess, and not get caught. He doesn't think the rebels could have done this, so he sets out to find the princess and avenge the King's death.

And that's my idea. I think it would be really cool to have a war going on as you look for Zelda. I realize it doesn't sound very Zelda-y, but that's just what I would like to see.

What are your guys' ideas?

And here I just made a cover I thought looked pretty cool lol

My bad, thanks I'll fix it

I think it should be about the Seal War.

[PipoPito]

Im pretty sure its called Hylian not Hyrulian... I may be wrong.

It does sound Zeldaish. It kinda reminds me of Minish Cap for some odd reason.

[InsaneLaw]

Yeah, it's Hylian, they say it in the games quite a lot, and it's why it's Lake Hylia and not Hyrulia.

I think it should be set in the future after Twilight Princess, with Hyrule becoming more of a big city but more like the 1700's, when the industrial revolution came about, I mean, there's already Spirit Tracks with the Train.

[Crackkat]

hylian bro, not hyrulian no matter, i think the next zelda should have a heavy emphasis on magic, they havent experimented with that enough in past games, there should be plenty of room for expansion there cos nintendo always likes to mix things up with zelda so that would be a great way, plus it makes sense since they now have HD graphics and magic spells and stuff will look gorgeous in 1080p 60 frames per sec

[TriForce_3]

I like the civil war and Seal War idea's(of course I would love any story as long as they nail the presentation and gameplay)

I want it to be kinda dark also, sorta like some sections of Twilight Princess. Think Twilight Princess and the mini-boss fight with Dark Nut in the Temple of Time(one of my favorite boss fights just because of the realism, sword vs sword, and the look and feel of the battle) or think when Link is confused in Twilight Princess with the dark versions of himself(Great scene and I want more of that type of story).

I agree with Crakkat that more Magic would be great. I also would like more then 2-3 shields, Swords, and armor. Give us tons of Swords, Sheilds, and Armor to buy with unique features. With the tablet it should be easy to switch this out in battle and could add a lot of strategy to the game.

Other than that I hope it looks like the demo version that has been previewed with huge open worlds. Zelda is a system seller and if they can top any of the past Zelda's it will go a long way in making the Wii U a success, IMO.

As for the controversial topic of Voice Acting, I say they should have BOTH! Give the player the option to choose at the very beginning of the game if they want to play it with Voice Acting or in Traditional Zelda form. For those that think Voice Acting would ruin the charm and tradition of Zelda they NEVER have to hear it. FWIW, I'm neither heavily for or heavily against Voice Acting. I think it COULD add to the game, but it would have to be handled just right or it could take away from the game.

What's the point of having tons of different swords and shields when you can have customisation? Skyward Sword has it, and although it can feel like a pain to gather the items necessary to upgrade, it can be worthwhile.

[PipoPito]

Yup we need magic!
About Voice Acting. I agree, but they should get good actors. I watched and heard very good fandubs on youtube. Like that one:


Although i imagined his voice to be more gayish.

yh these guys did awesome dubs, they did one for soo many cut scenes of different zeldas

[WisdomPowerCourage]

I think It would be cool if they put characters from past games in it. Like if evil was starting to rise back in the twilight realm, so Midna has to go find link(or at least one of his decedents). However when she is looking for him she is blast into 3 beings by a mysterious dark energy. These three forms are imp Midna, Zelda(from where her soul was transferred into her), and wait for it... Ghirahim!(Who disappeared into the twilight realm to heal after being defeated.) Link has to bring the three beings back together to put them back together which is easy at first but Ghirahim proves to be a little more difficult. Ghirahim goes off to recruit an army so he can "Punish the world like a warrior in green punished him a long time ago." Then he blah blah blah, something heroic, twist in the plot the end.

You agree that we need Voice Acting, or that they should offer the ability to enable/disable the Voice Acting so that anyone that would prefer the traditional Zelda experience still has that option?

Again, +1 on the magic and tons of items that we could use Rupee's on(which was the point of having a ton of swords, armor, and shields).

[Auzzie Wingman]

Oh man, that sounds like that one guy from Arkham Asylum who I have forgotten the name of.

Either that or Bioshock.

Anyway, I think we should be able to play as Zelda. It'll be like Super Princess Peach, but less... peachy.

[Link707]

It can be hyrulian if they are from hyrule... Hylians are just a group of the goddesses chosen people... I would like for it to be a sequel of Majoras mask they can do whatever they want with the rest

[Soul]

I don't know, I don't even play Zelda much.

Both

[Falco]

The story should be how the tri-force was formed. I think the story begin with the tri-force as a whole and somehow gets split into three

[Transparent_lfe]

I would like a Zelda game that is more RPG orientated. Being able to have a party of three or four and not so much reliant on just Link getting everything needed. Going off of OP with the whole civil war and rebels, Link can be in a Braveheart role, (William Wallace) to rise up against the tyranny of whoever that may be. Shadow Link can come back. also i would also like to see more magic involved. Not so much for Link but other characters. No turn based attacks but with the Wii U controller being able to select a party member on the fly give them orders to heal/burn attack/defend would be nice. I like tactic games but something i like i want to control the fighters or at least Link for main attacks with plenty of support roles.

Voice acting I agree with Nintendo with Link. I dont want it. It can ruin a game for me. (Skyrim works for me since the main character doesn't talk, i can deal with that.)

There is more but i guess i will stop here for now.

[CaptainBravo1]

Hmmm... Well if I was able to story board the game I would like to have it like the ocarina of time, but with a twist. Instead of Link going to past/present/Future. Sheik would come from somewhere in the time stream to be an ally allowing two player compatibilities. When Zelda is kidnapped or what ever the general idea of the quest being. I think it would be nice if she wasn't kidnapped for once. Just one game (well I haven't played skyward sword and a few others ones don't know the objective.) But maybe the world is plunged into some sort of "nightmare"froze by darkness. As for why is Sheik there in the first place I don't know, but it would be nice to have a helpful ally that can be controlled by a friend or through multi-player like in Resident evil 5.

NO NO NO PLEASE GOD NO. NEVER ADD VOICE ACTING TO ZELDA. That will change it it wont be like Zelda then. Its better to READ and pretend what they would sound like. However that vid you posted the voice reminds me of Pegasus from Yugioh...

[Mii]

What about a really new story? Link escaping out a castle or something, to go back to Zelda and save her from being kidnapped too?
