Haha, that would be pretty amusing, flailing the tablet around as a sword.  

Maybe it'll be a modern-day Zelda.  Link's new search is to find the Master iPad, you start off in Kokiri Forest where the only weapon you can find is a crappy iPad 2 to use as your weapon.  Swing the tablet to swat your foes out of the way!

... I'm sorry, I'll stop.  But more seriously, I wonder if it'll be used as a shield in some way combined with a wii-mote.  Idk.

Obviously people are excited about that picture that has been going around showing how the WiiU controller would allow people to switch items / equipment in a Zelda game without having to pause.

Other than that, honestly I wouldn't expect anything other than a standard Zelda game. I'm hoping Nintendo will eventually create a Zelda even more non-linear, and with more side quests than Majora's Mask.

Zelda needs to be evaluated and reworked. It is no secret that the game requires some change.

I think they need to break away from OoT Zelda and bring in the old to give the feeling of new. I want LttP style gaming with updated graphics. 3/4 top down can find a home on the WiiU tablet.

Yes, LttP style Zelda would be awesome. They need to try to appeal to some of the other Zelda fans, not just the ones who liked Ocarina of Time. I would even like to see some concepts brought back from Zelda 2: Link's Adventure. It's really a shame that their idea with the last 3 Zeldas seems to have been "Let's try to create something on par with and comparable to Ocarina of Time".

It wasn't even that great.

I find this upcoming Zelda title heavily contradictory.


Remember when they said that the controller offered a bunch of new possible experiences for the franchise?

Remember when Aunoma said that he could not imagine developing a new Zelda where you control your sword with buttons?


So, yeah... Unless you are going to hold your Wii remote as a sword while the Wii U tablet is held like a shield, I don't see this making any sense.........

It makes sense. They just lied.

Better AI = harder game
Better Hyrule = larger no loads between areas seamless
Better Cities/castle = see above more people interaction assassin's creed like (without climbing and stuff)
Better dungeons = bigger no loads more depth and mosters
Better environment = depending taste, I'd like to see more contrast between over and under worlds and realistic visuals
Better controls = i really like the move to realistic sword play, but its not perfect and the menu system just plain sucked... wii u can easily fix all of that
Voices = wtf, I'm tired of reading. Link can still be silent.

I want to continue with a 60 to 80hr game but at the same time refine and perfect all the little things. I want zero zelda/metroid like areas having to load. open world entirely.

Legend of Zelda is better without voice acting.  I can imagine the voice I want to give to the characters, it adds to the charisma of Link.  Some Nintendo characters shouldn't talk... *cough* Bowser *cough*

Anyway, TLOZ without text dialogs is not TLOZ.  They have to keep the key elements:

• Link's green costume
• Dungeons
• Text dialogs
• Zelda
• Master Sword
• Triforce

These are pretty much in every Zelda games.  They have to be there in the next game too.

Forgot...

• Empty Bottle

I prefer reading than listening.

Link has no personality, you are Link, like an avatar, thats why he shouldnt talk, ever.
