Around the Network

Windwaker had the aesthetic that was really polarising at the time.
Twlight Princess launched on dated hardware in 2006
Skyward Sword had both dated hardware+less appealing artstyle.

If they launch a Zelda on up to date hardware or at least up to date visuals, whilst on a console userbase is still highly active (first 3 years) with an artstyle that doesn't limit its success, then sure.

dont haved to be a minigame. there is a zelda clone on ios called oceanhorn (or something similar). Its inferior to the home consoles zeldas but i can see something like this made by nintendo and will easily sell 10m + (for like 5€ though)

Would Nintendo do something like that though?


I dont know. Others publishers made "real" games also (like deadspace, fifa, Assassins creed) not sure if nintendo will only make spin off mini games or real games



I thought it had by now... Probably never then.



Of course it will - all they need to do is go multiplat, visually make it look like Witcher 3, call it Legend of Xeldar and have Link look like this:



15mils, at least

if it ever has a realistic art style it might in the future otherwise no

Probably not. If Twilight Princess couldn't, considering the fact that it was a highly rated Zelda that was out during the heyday of the Wii, I don't think any game will. Honestly, I've never understood why Twilight Princess didn't sell better...

Twilight princess didn't sell as well as I thought it would either , and I think it can be attributed to its name . anything with princess in the title is a hard sell to teenage males ( unless they were already Zelda fans ) in America .

If it remains exclusive to Nintendo platforms, the answer in no. If it doesn't remain exclusive, then yes there is a pretty good possibility that it will break the 10 million barrier.

Interesting. Never thought of the name. I suppose you could be on to something, and if so, that's a real shame because that game is awesome and should have sold better.




I was like why the fuck are you guys talking about Zelda mobile games. I should really stop clicking on threads without reading the title.
