that would be good like he goes into a portal and it sends him into the future and his homeland is all mash up.

I think that is a pretty cool idea yushire. I'd buy the crap out of that game.

It'll be cool if they change the setting. Just keep the art direction the same as TP though. I didn't enjoy Wind Waker as much since I think its art style is inappropriate for a Zelda game.

For me legend of Zelda should have Final fantasy VI level of technology, so thats what you called it? Steampunk?

no.

Long answer ahead

Yes, it sounds like it could work, with a couple of conditions.

Not futuristic, steampunk

Most of the game has to be in a fantasy setting, but, as in A link to the Past there is the dark world, and twilight princess the twilight realm, there could be some thing that takes you between these worlds. I think as long as it doesn't encompass too much of the game, it could even be cool to see link, his weapons and items change when in the steam punk world

So the term IO should used wasnt futuristic instead steampunk YEAH, i think some members here right now should agree with me that the next Zelda should be steampunk...
