I love this thread!
The OP has exactly the thoughts I played around with a year ago - except that in my mind Fallout 3 was Oblivion. But Fallout 3 is essentially Oblivion with guns!
Sandbox/open-world RPG is the best genre.
I would love a future Zelda game to implement elements from Fallout 3/Oblivion, but keep it's unique aspects such as the kiddy & fairy tale style of grafix and atmosphere and the simplistic RPG gameplay (which isn't RPG at all, but more action-adventure).
An open world action adventure Zelda. (and with voice acting of course!!)
