A noble goal.

What he means, though, is that he wants to make a Zelda that people consider to be better than Ocarina of Time, which may be unrealistic.

If he ever did it, though? Oh, the joy.

Well now is the time. The Wii is bringing in a new generation, if they can hook more people with a brand new Zelda they'll have the Wii-boomers just like the N64-boomers. They'll let out orgasmic screams on forums about the "first" Zelda, ignoring all Zelda's beforehand, and will hold it on a pedestal that no other Zelda will ever be able to reach (to the Wii-boomers, at least). This will most likely be the case until another new wave of gamers are introduced to Zelda whenever it sort of reinvents itself again.

 

Truth be to that, I mean just the memories seem to make a game so much better then what it was, cause the truth of the matter is that Zelda:aLttP was the best game in the series and were many of the weapons/design originate from.  If anyone paid real close attention to TP they would have seen that TP was a successor to aLttP and not OoT =P

Do you see the irony here?

 

No I don't actually, aLttP was the first one to have that huge epic story, all the weapons that are still used in todays Zelda games, and the time that the most innovation came into the series.  OoT was more of "how do we make this into 3D?" instead of "how do we turn this series on its ear?".  A Link to the Past was the best in the series because it just did everything perfectly, OoT took that perfection into 3D while not adding anything too special other then 3D.  And if I was saying that because of memories then I would state the original Zelda was the best when it wasn't it had really no story other then the one you read in the user manual and the ending...  Zelda 2 tried story and innovation but it fell flat compared to Zelda 1.
