Oh, it definitely CAN be done.

They just need to do it, and do it EXTREMELY FUCKING WELL. Polish it until you could see your reflection through a reflection of the print on the disc of god, make sure they keep it in the oven for as long that need be, and they'll be on to a winner.

Some people prefer Galaxy over any other 3D platformer ever, after all.

As I said, I think Wind Waker is better, but not for its time.

Zelda Wii may very well be even better than Wind Waker (and OoT) but no one of us will ever have that same feeling that OoT gave us.

I have big hopes for Zelda Wii, and I really think Aunoma and his team will come up with a lot of new cool things, but yeah, you can't go back in time and be a child again.

Which of course isn't to say that TP was a bad game at all; on the contrary.

Of course not. I think it's just as good as OoT, the difference is that OoT was first.

So basicly what people want is Link, with facial hair, bald, perhaps an (ex) drunk and in space. Great. Now all he needs is some space-armor, and perhaps the ability to slow time and we can call it

The legend of Zelda: Killzone to the Gears of Dead Space

I guess we found our title!

Mario 64 was indeed held up as revolutionary. It is still being held up to this day, no, wait Super Mario Galaxy has beaten it. To most people, SMG has taken 64's crown as the king of Mario platformers, and is a truly worthy sucessor. I think Anouma wants to do for Zelda what Super Mario Galaxy did for Mario.
