How can be people answering Yes to this question? really HOW can somebody think that Rockstar could make a better Zelda game than the company  that has created and has made Zelda the best saga ever? Ocarina of Time, A link to the past, Wind Waker... If is the greatest saga ever is obvioulsy because Nintendo, if somebody else could do something that good they would already done.


Because Rockstar is a stellar dev. It's possible. Nintendo unchained, could possibly craft a better GTA as well, neither is likely, but to act as if it's not at all possible is too absolute a conclusion.

Well maybe is just both having very different styles, i don´t see Nintendo making a great GTA, and i don´t want to see anythind related to the rockstar style on a Zelda, anything, but yes is a great dev, maybe they can make a good Zelda, but not a brilliant one.

Fair enough. It would be interesting though. Remember, styles can be changed and adapted. If either of these teams poured their hearts into the others franchise, as different as they may be, I think at the least, a very good game would be made.

Short answer? No. Zelda is about the tone of the game. Rockstar would scree that up even before the title screen...guaranteed. But...would I want to play a Zelda inspired game by rockstar? Absolutely! I'm kind of surprised they haven't tried to dally in that genre...but then again I think they like to stick with the formulas their fans love and crave. I don't think the new breed of gamer would enjoy it versus another red dead redemption or gta.

Ganon appears in less than half of all Zelda games. 


If you have to compare how often one antagonist appears in one series to 50%, they appear too much.

Link and Zelda can reincarnate, but Ganon can't?

Like Link and Zelda, Ganondorf's been reinterpreted again and again. The pig was really only in Zelda and LttP, partially in Four Swords Adventures. The more human Ganondorf was rather different in OoT, TP, and WW. OoT Ganondorf was filled with ambition and the cockiness of a chessmaster villain. TP Ganondorf was more a force of nature, letting more of the pathos rest upon Zant, and Ganondorf was more like Ganon, a beastlike representation of evil but in a human form for part of it, but with little motive other than death and ruin. Wind Waker Ganondorf was full of pathos, a man who almost, but not quite, regretted what he had done, who still wanted the final victory that had eluded him, but was humbled by the power that had been unleashed to stop him.

Ganon/dorf could be reinterpreted again and again, much as Zelda has changed.

Thus:



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

That pic is gold. (And illustrates why Skyward Sword Zelda is by far my favourite Zelda)

Joker appears in 3/4 of the Arkham games does that make it bad? No! 343 Guilty Spark appears in 3/4 of the Halo games, does that make it bad? No!



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

I was under the impression those games were terrible.

I love the reaction of Twilight Princess Zelda. She wouldn't actually care about Twlight Princess LInk, seeing as she's very queenly there, and Link's just a rancher. But why wouldn't Ocarina of Time Zelda not love Link back? WHY? WHY NOT?
