I just want to see some Zora.
It never made any sense to me that in a world consisting of an ocean, the one aquatic race from the previous games was absent. Yet the Gorons apparently somehow survived Hyrule's flooding...? There's that one Zora sage, but she's a ghost.

The Zora did evolve into Ritos, that's why you don't see them in Wind Waker. Why? No idea. Maybe the Common Hyrulean Zora could not live in sea water?

Yeah I've heard that 'theory' before.

WW takes place 100 years after OOT. They evolved from fish to birds within a hundred years?

Don't ask me how it works, but Aonuma confirmed it. Thus, it is canon.

Yeah I know, they just messed up by saying it's only a 100 years after OOT, I guess. Ah well, Nintendo don't really plan these things too much, they basically just create new games and then later think up the stories.

Still, I miss the Zora. I was expecting them in SS, too, but instead we got awkward talking jellyfish. Oh, and some sort of subterranean Crash Bandicoots. It would've been so neat to have seen those old races return in new games, especially since SS specifically focused on 5 races being left on the surface and all that.

I mean, those robots weren't even a race. They were just... robots. :/

Yeah. Fresh Water Zora and Salt Water Zora are different species last time I checked. Over the years I've grown to dig my head less and less into the intricacies of the lore due to how convoluted it gets. :P


Zelda lore isn't convulted. It's non-existant. Recently though the developers have felt the need to duct-tape disparate pieces together though. I guess that counts?

 

Anyway, my list. Want: more dungeons (doesn't fit the story? screw dat!), less tedium (stealth segments, Triforce hunt, lengthy chats, three-shots-max cameras (with full day waits between figurines, because fuck you player)). That's about it. I've never been enamored with Wind Waker, and think vast improvements will require completely revamping the game in its entirety, but these changes might sway me to pick it up at $20 sometime down the road.



Nothing. It´s perfect the way it is



Want?
- Alot of extras
- maybe the canceled dungeons
- MasterQuest would be cool etc.
- pre installed game guide (like in DeusEx WiiU)
- Halo Anniversary style GRAPHICS SWITCH (press select to switch between GC and WiiU graphics thats shit was awesome in Halo
- Original and reorchestrated in-game soundtrack to choose from (like the original/new option in Halo Anniversary)
- 1080p graphics with awsome anti aliasing.
- hidden places to connect the game to other games in the timeline. (not real places more like hidden ruins on an island with story that connects the games or little stuff like the portraits in the sunken Castle)
- no ego boasting crap like Achievements or trophies (I am okay with little challenges that unlock stuff like in Smash Bros because those make sense)
- Wii Motion Plus support (Wii-mote controls!)



Expect?
- Same great game.
- UNCHANGED COLORS meaning blue sky not crappy turquoise one
and better effects lighting/shadow WITHOUT crappy PS2 generation BLOOM....
- off TV play
- Miiverse
- WiiU gamepad having the GBA featuers when the game is played in TV mode.
- 720p with really good Anti Aliasing.

better graphics

Tingle-Tuner on the Gamepad (or release a 3DS app for it)
Improve the Triforce fetch-quest
Keep the new graphic style


That is a great idea, I completely forgot about the tingle Tuner :D ( I always spammed bombs to make my friend poor when we played together !)



For me, they can overhaul the graphics, put the tingle tuner on the gamepad and call it a day !
(This is my favourite game of all time btw. )



Song hotkeys, at least the wind-chaning song
Not having to pay thousands of rupees to Tingle.
Not explain trivial stuff. We get it, a green rupee is worth 1, blue 5 and red 10
Touchscreen-enabled mini-games, new and old



Moblin dungeon? Sounds cool.
