I know you put hours into Skyrim and SS. What or which one did you think was better?

Enjoy more?

They're both great games, but I think Skyrim is 'just' great (saying it like it's a bad thing) while I felt Skyward Sword was a masterpiece. SS was much more focused, polished, and honed experience compared to Skyrim, which used its sheer scope to push itself forward.

So they're both recommend by me, but Skyward Sword is just awesome.

WHERE IS MY KORORINPA 3

I want them to go balls out and have a different setting, I mean DIFFERENT, there were some pics online about what a Zelda would look like in modern day type setting. I thought it looked bad ass personally. I know "but then it would be just like an open world game" nothing wrong with that. Batman went open world and all the better for it. At least try it, they can always go back to fantasy esqe setting.

How about you let me USE Zelda, it could dramatically change the gameplay and make it more interesting. Maybe do an Arkham City type thing and have a playable for a small portion, see how that fits.

-Get rid if the puzzles I hate'em


I think a lot of people are under the impression that fighting the environment in Zelda games is a relatively new phenomenon, but that's not the case. The environment has always been the biggest obstacle in every single game, up to and including the very first one. Puzzles are part and parcel of that experience. Wanting fewer puzzles, that I can kind of understand - even if I don't agree - but when you get rid of them entirely (especially given that most "puzzles" are just figuring out how to navigate the environment) you're removing one of two fundamental sources of challenge for the series that's been there since the very beginning.



....Voice overs if done correctly.

The structure of the game is one of the things that I thought Arkham Asylum did better than Arkham City. The sense of progression was a lot more apparent in Asylum, since it was basically Metroid with Batman in it and you gained access to huge swathes of new areas according to the growth of your abilities. When you make the game open-world you also necessarily remove a sense of accomplishment associated with seeing new parts of it, and I don't know if that would be a good thing in Zelda.

I dont know who Nintendo hires for their voice overs, but whoever hired the guy to do the voice over for Bowser in Super Mario Sunshine needs to get fired for it.

No voice over for Link plz, I think that was one of the greatest things about the hero in the zelda series, its like he's trolling the enemies, all those conversations with the villains in the series, and he didnt have to say a single word before defeating them, what a bad ass lol.


To me...? *sad face*

If done right then yes.

I could get behind voice overs for Zelda - potentially - if done by the right voice director, and also if it's not done in any actual language. If they want to speak gibberish, that's fine, though  they'd better be prepared to have a lot of these lines skipped over.

Not for Link, though. Leave all of his words implied.
