If it is how the game is made, with all that dumb non-linearity, then no. It should never be like that, the story suffer to much, because of the non-linearity, the game should stay linear for the sake of the story, we do not need Zelda becoming another Mario in terms of its story.

If its about graphics: Well I wouldn't really care, aslong as it looks good, and it is not all brown and gray, like in TP, I would like it.


Or it could be the basis of the best Zelda story ever - with three seperate large plot lines (three dungeons each with a quest before both) which all converge at the half-way point, and then splinter into six long stories (two dungeons again with one long quest in between) which are all bound together by one overall goal.

You don't need non-linearity for that, that is pretty much what TP did, each province and each Mirror Shard had its own plot line, tha at the end connected into one  big plot. Non-linearity restricts what you can do, you can't have a big continues plot, since you don't know in which order the player is going to complete the dungeons, so it could mess up the story, the best you could have, is what ALBW had, with some simple plot stuff in between dungeons(The Hilda conversations with Zelda), and in the beginning, middle, and end. But aside from that, it would be impossible to have a good continues plot when non-linearity is thrown into Zelda.



COMG guide to points: 1 point = Raging. 2 points = Beasting. 3 points = Tearing it up. 4 points = Berzerk. 7 points = Rampage. 12 points = Burst. 15 points = god mode. 20+ points = DIVIDING BY ZERO!!! 40+ points = Youkai (originally Pokemon).

-1 = Negabeasting. -5= NegaRampage. -10 = NegaBurst

I would be fine with a top down Zelda even on Wii U as love that version so much. I'd be fine with 3D as well.

I don't know what you mean by "like LBW"... rented items with stamina?
Reusing an old world?
Being top down?
Encouraging exploration?

But I'd say in most ways, no, I do not want Zelda U to be like LBW.

A Link Between Worlds in 3D? Nah, I'd prefer something like Twilight Princess with a new art style.

Short answer: NO!

Long Answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I want it to be like Zelda 1 or Zelda 2 or like the Arkham Batman games



Rumors indicate that it is planning on following the first approach, sticking a new, motion-sensitive controller onto an existing console. Our perspective is that this is the worst of the three options.

-Clayton Christensen back in 2007 already knew Move would be a bad idea

If you don't think non-linearity can't offer an insane story experience you REALLY need to play Dragon Age: Origins. 

 

Also, I don't really care if the Lake dries up first or the volcano erupts first, as long as it makes sense as to why Vaati needed it to happen. I mean, its not like it'd be hard to tweak Vaati's dialogue based on the order in which you encounter him.

After actually reading the OP unlike some posters, I would think the general concept would be a good idea, but obviously expanded.

Also, something dark and crazy for the story.



WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

I really want just a 3d Zelda. No top down stuff, no 2d, no Wind Waker graphics (although they look nice.) I just want a dark Zelda story with 3d graphics. Hopefully whatever Nintendo decides to show us is good.
