Capcom's first contribution to the Zelda series was the Oracle games, Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages (both for the Game Boy Color), who they worked with Nintendo to create. Despite initial concerns, the Oracle games received an extremely positive reception from fans and the video game media alike. Capcom has been praised for their contributions to the Zelda series.
Capcom returned in 2002 to create the Game Boy Advance remake of A Link to the Past. On the same game cartridge as this remake came an original Zelda game created by Capcom, the multiplayer Four Swords. Four Swords introduced many elements that have been re-used in the Zelda series such as the character Vaati and the Four Sword.
Capcom's next and most recent Zelda game came in 2004 with the release of a prequel to Four Swords, The Minish Cap, for the Game Boy Advance. Since The Minish Cap, there hasn't been another Capcom Zelda game.
So this has been on my mind since I finished Ocarina of Time a few days ago. Picture a game outside of the Zelda series developed by Capcom that was similar to Monster Hunter and took place around Hyrule, Termina and many other Zelda themed areas. Being able to create a character the race of your choosing [from Hylians, Sheikah, (Male Only) Goron, (Female Only) Gerudo, Twili, Zora/Rito, Kokiri/Korok, Deku, or (Male Only)Goblin] and crafting weapons as well as raising livestock and much more. Battle would definitely be similar to the Zelda series with item management closer to the Monster Hunter Series and it wouldn't be right if you were restricted by levels. You would rely solely on skill and gear with the freedom to roam freely throughout Hyrule! I know it's too good to be true but a man can dream.
