Top down on the Game Pad and 3rd person on the screen with the option to switch.


Now that would be totally awesome and also the first time I would really be impressed by the GamePad!

Maybe a more apt idea would be a 3D Land/World approach to Zelda. Mix elements of 3D and 2D. 3D Zelda needs a lot of the aspects of 2D Zelda to return to greatness in my opinion.

I can't go a generation without a 3D Zelda no matter how fun top down Zeldas might be (actually enjoying ALBW).

Excluding the Super Nintendo, every Nintendo home console has had two mainline Zelda games. As Little Taco Commercial Girl once said in her infinite wisdom, "why don't we have both?"

And even though I was, like, thirteen back then, I remember people all over the Internet going all "oh, a game like New Super Mario Bros. Wii will never sell on a home console", and "this looks like a lazy DS port, the home consoles should be reserved for proper 3D Mario games". I'm just throwing that out there.

Just in case I wasn't clear enough, I fully endorse the OP's suggestion. I mean, christ, so far there have been two traditional top-down Zeldas on the home consoles. The last on was in 1992. That ain't right.

I think the non-linearity can be implemented without the need of a top-down view, personally I want to feel more immersed on the world of the game. And I think Nintendo has done a good job with the camera of the 3D Zelda games, I don't remember having to fight with it when playing the games.

Well, Gamecube has a top down Zelda. Having a top down Zelda on home consoles would be as big of a "waste" as what 3D World and DKC:TP was to some others.
