The graphics should strive for a realistic style and push the system that the game is on until it's graphics chip melts. I'm only impressed with graphics that are good compared to the hardware, for example, DKC still makes my jaw drop becasue it seems so impossible to pull off. That's how I would want the Zelda to look like, like it's impossible to pull of on the hardware yet it's there.
Song of Storms should play an important role, and the field should once in a while be enveloped in beautfully rendered thunderstorms. During this, dangerous stuff like dragons or thunderbirds will sweep down and attack you.
1:1 Motion controls.
Every item should be fucking useful *glares at Twilight princess* When you get an item, it will help you in a way that it makes previously difficult enemies easier to fight, and areas that were difficult to get to easier to get to.
Very few areas should be completely blocked off by having to get X item to place Y, temples can be beaten in any order, just, some will bee more difficult if you have the wrong items.
Items can be found everywhere, not just temples. Exploring the world to find stuff in it should be emphasized.
Spells should be back, now with several combat oriented spells, like farores wind is now a thunder spell.
Towns that actually has fun stuff and secret useful combat items in them.
Fairies are hard to get.
Tingle is a boss, you get to kill him.
Ocarina of Storms is your instrument, it is used like ocarina of time to play melodies to warp you to places. Some melodies will have more direct functions that will make using them worthwile, like a song that sets all nearby undead on fire, or a song that makes you stronger.
Ice Arrow, Fire Arrow, and Light Arrow are back, and maybe more magic arrows, like homing storm arrows.
Did I say dragons?
Return of sword laser.
A whole city in the sky to explore, not just a temple.
Difficulty! Bosses that won't be goliaths on clay feet and that will actually rip you apart during the first encounters.
A Navi like fairy (I actually like Navi) ^_^ And the great fairy must be sexy.
I LOVE ICELAND!
