Who says you have to be a child to go on an adventure?

Let's face it, we've never had a ''adult'' Link, we had teenager Link, 16years old at the oldest... I want a real adult Link. Like a Link in his 30s where he's already established as a hardened bad ass hero from the start of the game... Maybe give him a few scars :P And why not add a family to protect.

I've played enough of them to make an educated guess about the rest lol trust me. I did mean worst "3D" Zelda, though. (Even though I think many of the 2D games are better as well) I don't think it's the worst 3D Zelda because it tries to be gritty and dark. I think it's the worst 3D Zelda because it's stale, uninspired, and try-hardy. It's trying to be what it's not and it's trying to 1-up Ocarina. I don't actually think it's gritty, or dark, or realistic, but it desprately tries to be because that's what non-fans demanded at the time, and the game is worse off for it.

I think Majora's Mask is the only truely "dark" Zelda, but that's partly because it wasn't trying to be. Aunuma didn't say "I want to make this one darker," he said "I want to truely explore the feelings of loss, lonelyness, and mortality that a yound child like this must genuinely feel after completing such great acts of heroism. The story after the credits roll." It's not as much dark as it is deep.

And I know "adult" Link is technically a teenager. That isn't the point.

"I have no problem with Toon Link, but I want to see a 3D Young Link in a non cel shaded art style again."

My thoughts exactly.

I do also prefer the young link, but to be fair, the adult/old link is also fairly young. Isn't he in his teens? I think I read somewhere that adult link in OoT was 17, and in Skyward Sword he seems fairly young too. Also in Twilight Princess he is not very old, most likely in his teenage years.

What really would be interesting is an actual adult link, a father, or whatever, around 30-40 years old. With a darker and more adult voice(grunts). He could have a family of his own, a wife, children, a dog and some chickens of course.

I don't know if I would like it, but it would definitely be interesting.

Who says you have to be a child to go to Chucky Cheeses, or to love My Little Pony. There aren't any rules saying you can't but it's kind of off putting.

I want bouth, young and old, like in Ocarina Of Time.

If Reggie's body couldn't handle it, who else could?

Definitely adult Link. I think The Legend of Zelda works much better with a darker tone - Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda - and a darker tone works better with adult characters. Most people agree with me; look at the reactions and sales of Wind Waker (4.5 mil) compared to Twilight Princess (8.5 mil).

I like what they're doing rith now with more cartoony Zeldas being smaller adventures on handhelds and more realistic Zeldas being grandiose adventures on consoles. It matches the target demographics of each type of Zelda.

He should have said he wanted young Link and Zelda like this:

or this:

Instead of the older Zelda and Link like this:

Wind Waker outsold TP on the GCN.

I disagree completely, bet everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I don't think the Wii U Zelda will be "darker" because of how Aonuma talks about it, and how the last three Zelda games (Skyward Sword, Wind Waker HD, and ALBW) have all been the oposite of "dark/realistic," but I think it's up in the air whether he'll do another adult console Link. I feel like there's a good chance he might go for younger because we've had a whole generation of adult Links, and he already said that he's getting bored with how he's been making recent Zeldas and wants this one to be a drastic change.
