Make it a shared game world where other players can drop-in / drop-out and play together.

Make the overworld creatures like in Xenoblade where they do their own thing unless threatened. Make them fight and eat each other as might make sense. Create a believable world and just throw players in there free to discover various adventures within... so do so alone or with others.

Don't use text-flair characters to deliver instruction... just implement intelligent help prompts whenever the game detects players needs those control reminders.

It won't have multiplayer. It will be more like WW HD with the tingle bottles.

Here's my top 10 wishlist for the next Zelda...

1: No hand-holding
2: No hand-holding
3: No stupid "tutorials" at the beginning that take hours to get through (see 1 and 2).
4: No annoying companion constantly yelling at you and stopping you dead in your tracks to tell you shit you already know (Navi, Fi)
5: No hand-holding
6: Stop reusing and remaking the same ideas from LTTP/TOOT (light/dark world). This shit's getting old.
7: No hand-holding
8: No mandatory motion controls (I highly doubt this one'll happen).
9: Overworld and dungeons that can be explored in almost any order.
10: Did I mention no hand-holding?

I'd love no hand-holding too but unfortunately Aonuma has been quoted as saying he actually didn't enjoy the original Legend of Zelda because he couldn't figure out what to do (no sign-posts is how I think it was described) which unfortunately makes me think we're going to see more, not less, of the Navi type stuff and the contant hand-holding.

And he also said recently that hand-holding isn't fun anymore.

Awesome, that's encouraging!

are nintendo idiots? do they have no understanding what so ever on how to market their games any more? why did they just saw the next zelda will be at E3? surprise people, let them speculate, not tell them what they are going to see. this will probably be their biggest announcement next year, as smash bros, mario kart and 3d mario are all already announced. they did the same thing this E3 and it killed off a lot of the hype for their E3 show, people simply knew what they were gonna see. they knew smash bros, mario kart and 3d mario were going to be announced.

nintendo when you want to announce a big game, give it the announcement it deserves, dont just say when you will show it 7 or 8 months before. they are literally shooting them selfs in the foot here.

Normally I would agree. But this is Zelda we talk about, so fans will be hyped and brag afterwards about what they have seen - regardless of what was shown. And yes, I'm a Zelda-fan myself.

And why this particular announcement will hurt Zelda Wii U sales?


this wont, but if they continue the quality of their marketing with this game then they will. Nintendo's marketing lately has been piss poor, can you deny that?

Your first comment says otherwise. And what does this have to do with marketing anyway? 

But yeah Nintendo's current marketing sucks, I'm never denied that.

the way a game is announced has a lot to do with marketing, instead of announcing this with a bang they go out and do it like this. can you honestly say this is a smart move? 

It is pointless for them to deny that a new Zelda exists, though. If anything, this gets people excited because now people who like Nintendo for Zelda alone (or near alone) are going to be paying more attention at next E3.

The surprise comes in what form the new Zelda will take, much like the Marios of each generation.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

It was suggested to me after E3 that I should be really excited for the Wii U Zelda game. My response was that I probably would be, once the people at Nintendo started saying anything substantial about the game.

From the sound of this, we might finally see an actual confirmed detail...next summer.

I simply cannot contain *yawns* my excitement.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

Overreacting Sony Fan detected....we already knew we will hear something about Zelda after hearing a lot about the reveal from Iwata, Miyamoto, Aonuma. And btw. It's Zelda for a home console. There will be always hype for it.....

overreacting? so expressing something that is as clear as day is now overreacting. very mature response.

you tell me, has nintendo's marketing strategy been any good? there will always be hype for a franchise within its fanbase, but outside that fanbase you need to market the game to get other gamers excited about it, and nintendo's efforts in that regared has been utter shit lately. 


You realize that cows don't defecate out of their utters right?

Any informed gamer with a functioning brain knows that if the next Zelda hasn't been revealed by then, it means that it will be revealed at E3. Like another poster said, what change is that we shouldn't expect anything about the next Zelda in the Nintendo Directs aired before E3. Unlike what you are reasoning, I am actually now more hyped for E3 because I was expecting the Zelda reveal to come in an earlier Nintendo Direct.

Nintendo's marketing is bad but it doesn't mean we shouldn't use logic when applying that belief to daily news.
