I agree tarheel. There is no reason to go rip the series to shreds and make it into something else entirely. Work with what you have, and build off your strengths. Don't start over from the beginning.

Also, don't worry too much about the "last of it's kind" thing. Phantom Hourglass isn't like TP, but it's still very much a Zelda game, just with fresh control styles and settings.

Yeah you're right. Zelda needs to be Zelda, in the same midevil(?) setting and stuff, but i don't agree with you're earlier post about not being Link. i think they just need to refresh him, and overall the whole characters.

Nintendo can do what they like with the setting/controls/story/gameplay and stuff (except no cel-shading) but all i really want is to have the Characters stand out. Link needs to be more courageous and show more bravery, Zelda needs to be more benevolent and wise, less of a Princess asking for help, and Ganondorf needs to be more evil and have more of a story. And not only the 3 main characters, but the other characters too, like the Zora's and the Gorons, and the Hylians and all those towns and cities and villages. They have on themselves a "perfect" game, they just need to expand on the stuff they have.

If the story is stale then they can do pretty much anything to freshen it up, but the characters are what make the game. I think the story is stale because the characters (pretty much all the characters in the game) are stale. That was the whole point of my earlier post. We need a new definition of Link, Zelda and Ganondorf.


Well, the not being Link was just a suggestion.  I agree if he's refreshed that would be fine.  Maybe playing as a more evil Link?  Or maybe a spellcasting Link, or just a redesign of Link's abilities (more ninja-like maybe?).  Give him some more personality, but never have him talk.  Voice acting for the rest of the characters though would be nice.
