Indeed, (really guys if this is spoiler by now you should be shot, but this is a spoiler tag) in Twilight Princess Zelda actually freaking dies, and you're going WHAT THE FUCK DID THAT JUST HAPPEN, sure Ganon revives her later so he can control the triforce but for a section of the game she's dead *end spoiler* not really sure how that and some of the lines/themes used in Twilight Princess aren't really "mature".

hell one of my favorite quotes from any zelda is "The history of light and shadow shall be written in blood", but honestly no one should have to come up with examples for this rubbish, G4 needs to go ahead and kick the bucket, maybe Kevin Rose with that Digg/Diggnation money will start TechTV over again... (would be a dream come true)

I think it would be awesome to see Bioware do a Zelda RPG. You know how like Square did a Mario RPG. You should have heard the the shit storm about that :P anyways I wouldn't want Zelda to change. Though a side set of games like the Paper Mario series where Zelda is more about being an RPG would be pretty nifty. It will never happen though :(

I actually don't think Sudokus provide much challenge at all.

The majority of the ones I've done are essentially as challlenging as a find-a-word, there is always at least one square that you can for certain put a number in, and putting that in likely opens up 1 or more new letters that are certain. I don't see them as puzzles at all.

There are some where you can't do that and you have to narrow down some squares to the numbers that can be there, but that usually degenerates to trial and error and then doing the above.

Also, I think I left the topic behind somewhere

I think Sudoku would be a better game if it were remade by Germans, and you have to write the numbers in a giant plain of grass and with oil and matches as supposed to kiddy paper and with a pencil.. who over 12 uses pencils?

You know what?  G4 isn't kiddie enough.  They're all about the HARDCORRRZZZZZZZZ

And that's why no one takes them seriously.  Just like everyone is starting to ignore places like IGN, Gamespot, 1up, etc.

If you start to lash out at what's popular, eventually people ignore you.

G4 never said Zelda isnt mature enough, they said that Zelda is a water downed RPG.

But...Zelda is not an RPG!

I'm pretty sure all games would be improved by being remade by the Germans, they sure know how to make a good board game, and fire helps everything.

Also, With this being my 4992nd post, I feel I should be building up to something meaningful for my 5000th - probably not going to happen though

While it's obvious that there would be a mismatch between Zelda's estabilished tone and the themes you suggested, I can't see why dealing with emotional scars and physical handicaps, trudgin through life's bleakness, fighting addictions and moral flaws could not be a part of an interactive electronic experience just as they are part of narratives in books, theater, movies, painting, pen and paper RPGs and music.

Your bolded sentences are a non sequitur. Games that are strictly games and don't tackle any subject only a mature person would appreciate, or don't tackle any abstract subject at all are still here and many of them are highly regarded.

Srill, no need to be overdefensive on the fact that some people ask something different from the medium than what you seem to have crystallized somewhere in an 80's arcade. The "pure" games aren't going anywhere, why should they be the only kind of experience everybody care about?

I feel the gaming media will somehow try and downplay Zelda now, since its announcement is imminent. I love the theater that goes on. I don't even bother watching the shit shows any more. If it aint Ninja Warrior or that other one G4 gets no love from me.
