there is an ultimate zelda game, it's called twilight princess!

I've got an ultimate zelda idea.....ahem..

Twilight Princess and Okami = The Legend of Zelda: Between Two Worlds :)

What I want:

• Non-linearity. I want to complete dungeons in my own order.
• No running around the starting village for thirty minutes. Just drop me off in the middle of Hyrule with no idea where to go, thanks.
• An interesting story that is told in a similar fashion to Metroid Prime or Bioshock, i.e. without cutscenes.
• Genuine difficulty. Twilight Princess is pretty easy, and Ocarina isn't exactly ball-busting, either. Wind Waker is just lol.
• Stuff like this. And this. And a little bit o' this.

That's all I got for now.

This for me as well.

• Blood, and a darker theme
• Twilight Princess style graphics
• Voice acting
• A deeper story
• Make it more difficult
• For it to be developed by Retro Studios

the same as its always been. Zelda hasn't really needed to change ever since its inception. The design was so inherently perfect to begin with that there wasn't really anything crucial to improve. Kinda like sharks

Nonlinearity wouldn't work. What you need is Metroid-style linearity, where the next area isn't apparent, but is ultimately inaccessible with your current equipment. More intense combat, weapons with broader usefulness, and bosses more like Monster Hunter, not in terms of length, but in terms of mobility and capability, something like, dare i say, the abominable Rathalos, that has multiple attacks and can really move outside a pattern

I just want Link to get together with malon from Lon Lon ranch, Zelda's a bit to high class for him.

These are my modifications to other people's ideas, before I list my own ideas.

• Non-linearity. I want to complete dungeons in my own order(That's what side quests are for! Majora's Mask got this right. Keep the main quest linear so it can be super polished. Scripted events are not always a bad thing.)
• No running around the starting village for thirty minutes. Just drop me off in the middle of Hyrule with no idea where to go, thanks.(Only do this if they can pull it off to make a memorable start)
• An interesting story that is told in a similar fashion to Metroid Prime or Bioshock, i.e. without cutscenes.(No thank you! I want better cut scenes than previous Zeldas. Not longer, just more memorable and more rewatchable. Then still add the Metroid aspect of finding large aspects of the story without cutscenes, but don't use this to rule out cut scenes. Marry the two approaches properly)

Ocarina of Time without the water temple :P

Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. I have no problem if that's as good as zelda ever gets for me.

I don't really know what I want... other than I want it to be fresher than Twilight Princess, and no sailing.
