| HylianSwordsman said: Do it! And have the Hero of Time HD Trilogy for the Nintendo Fusion. All three games in HD and 3D (assuming they keep the 3D function for the Fusion), for $60. Insane value. But as to your description of the game, I think you have the right idea of what it should be. The most iconic version of Link should get a third installment, and it should have its own unique tone from the other two games. Definitely still have Epona and the Ocarina, but not the masks. The masks were too thematic in MM and would feel very out of place with the new tone. I'm not sure what they could take from MM, though perhaps the Fierce Diety Mask. Having the FD Mask involved in the conflict somehow sounds promising, but not as the villain, I don't think. I do think the game could could tie up loose ends, but not Majora or the Happy Mask Salesman. I want him to find Navi, that was the whole point of him setting out on his journey in MM before he fell into Termina, and it was the quest he set out on at the end of MM. It'd also be nice if the game tied up his relation to the Link of Twilight Princess. Considering TP Link lives on a ranch, perhaps Malon is involved somehow? I don't think the game needs to tie up loose ends of previous games in the trilogy, aside from Link's personal quest to find Navi, but I'd like to see it tie different parts of the child timeline together. |
I agree with everything! I know that this would probably be controversial, but I think that the hero of time should die in the last game. Like, in a martyrial way. And in a very lonely way. Perhaps as he passes he finally finds navi reunites with navi and as his life fades away, the last thing he hears is Navi panicing to wake him up, shouting "hey, listen! Please..."
It would be a nice nod to the fans and it would be bitter sweet. The greatest video game journey is finally at an end and you start to miss the things you thought you hated. I don't think that the game should be about him looking for her, though. They should do it like in MM; the game starts with link in the lost woods as a child, then it fades and we see him still wandering as an adult/older teen. Some plot device happens and he finds his way out. Actually, what if he finds Navi in the beginning and she leads him out, only for (plot device) to happen to her, and he must save her from (plot device). Then the story would effectively start out like WW. A personal journey to rescue someone dear to you, but then the story opens up and the real threat reveals itself, whatever it may be.
I think that Malon should definitely be involved, but I don't think that Link should be romantic with anyone. They'll all obviously love him, that's part of the humor and charm, but the hero of time should remain a loner. Maybe Malon just starts the village and there are some hints to that. But all in all, I don't think it should try to tie anthing together. That's how sequels and prequels are ruined; they're confined. MM was so great because it wasn't. OoT didn't matter to MM. The same should be true for this one.
