Yeah it definitely wouldn't work to just toss in those features word for word, but if they take the general philosophy of adding online that isn't separate from the single player and yet doesn't impose on the single player I think they could make something that would work within the Zelda universe and be inventive and fun. 

Well you obviously did not read the article then. Check out the link and see the responses it got from an actual Legend of Zelda community. The majority of zelda fans from zelda communities have agreed with most of what this article has stated. It is not a professional essay just a fun read so bashing it about being poorly written is just dumb. It is not poorly written anyways. It may not be 100% perfect grammar but it is far from poorly written.

All I did was propose a few things that would make zelda games more interactive and the change is needed. I said that OoT was a huge change and hence the huge sales. Then most of the other games have not implemented a huge change so their sales have not been as high. So you just missed the point I was making entirely there.

I do not care if zelda is not like fallout. That is not my point. The point is that it could take elements of fallout and really any other game and expand the series to be more fun and interactive. Fallout was a very interactive experience. Everybody and everything could be impacted by you which is why I cited Fallout 3. I never claimed it to be awesome and the best thing ever.

So you obviously did not read the article. Or you read it and didnt actually take away the point. You must have been too obssessed with the title and jumping on every petty detail to disprove me that you ignored the entire point of the article.

Come over to a zelda community and see what kind of opinions are out there

You can read the comments from the site itself. In it we discuss Majoras Masks as well. II see a lot of people that say i forgot about that game.

There was only one guy who was entirely opposed to the idea but all he did was rant and call us fanboys instead of saying why he disagreed.

Have a good one

Dude, signing up to a forum just to defend an article you posted somewhere else is not generally considered good form!

Edit: I see you did not do this. Shame on me.

Also you will take note I hope that Twilight Princess, as formulaic a Zelda game as there ever was, has nearly matched Ocarina's original run.

Yea I have been a member here for a couple of weeks and I mostly just lurk around a bit. But when I saw that comment I felt like I had to respond.

But I do like seeing that my article has gotten around. Its been posted on so many different sites so I am glad it has gotten a lot of viewership.

And I saw somebody on here with a donkey kong country 4 petition in their sig. Kudos for that :)

So if Zelda was more like Fall Out why would you want Fall Out anymore?

The last change that Zelda needs is to be more like Oblivion.

Zelda is an action adventure game, and none of Bethesda games would be considered the same.

Come on ppl, he's taking some very small aspects of Fallout 3 and saying that it might be nice to be applied in some form to Zelda. I don't see anything wrong with that, he's not saying the whole game, it's gonna have to be ok'ed by Mr. Miyamoto and he certainly won't let some blatant ripoff or poorly implemented new feature make it pass QC.

I don't get the point. He keeps talking about OoT yet TP was a very different game. WW was considerably different as well. I love the Zelda games whilst F3 felt like a bastardized (but decent) version of the original Fallout series.

Basically, it comes across as if the writer simply wants the Zelda games to be bigger. Okay, that sounds cool. Maybe next generation. Not that I really care, though... if Nintendo continues to deliver a 25 hour game that offers tight controls and the "Zelda experience", I'll continue to buy the games and enjoy Big N's offerings.

The writer doesn't seem to understand that Zelda isn't even an RPG, really. His analysis seems flawed on so many points.

If this were any other franchise I might agree with you. However, the majority of Zelda fans are traditionalists in the purest sense, and they would not want something drastically done to their baby. As it stands the original Fallout forums had a massive outcry from people declaring their franchise ruined from Fallout 3, and the fanbase of the series is significantly less than that of Zelda.

I think this article would be better if you dropped the comparisons and just flat out made your suggestions for the game. You would get a far less negative response if you just suggested Zelda should be made into an open world experience with far more interactivity than previous games.

Also, and the most important point, RPG fans are snobs. Usually most pretend to hate Morrowind/Oblivion/FO3 in leiu of better days and/or Zelda. It's kind of like how most will rant and rant about how Final Fantasy died at FF6 and everything else has been mainstream blasphemy. So its probably a good idea if you left the initial comparison out and just kept it resolved around Zelda. (note, I am an RPG fan myself, so I am not "attacking" my fellow peeps but just making a truthful observation)

If Zelda became a WRPG, I'd kill myself.
