So Zelda is a 4*AAA game, a AAAAAAAAAAAA game! Nice!

Seriously, they should try to make this game perfect and nothing less. I don't get it Rol.

They could use their Wii/DS money to invest in new manpower for new IPs. Nobody wants to get a half-baked Zelda in exchange.

give it up! just this time.

It takes talent to make good games and talent is finite, so Nintendo can't just throw money around and expect to maintain the same level of quality in their games.

It used to be possible to make Zelda in a shorter amount of time, it only requires a more focused approach right from the outset. I am not asking for the impossible here, really. A Zelda game that took only two and a half years to make wouldn't automatically be half-baked.

so.... you're suggesting they do as for mario and bring back console 2D zeldas, that requier less manpower for equal (if not superior) quality, in order to reduce the time between zelda games?

I know you hate the DS zeldas (or at least spirit)... so you still believe they have the sufficient flair to do this?
