I would love to see a Zelda spinoff that was more like Fallout.

Since you're here, I'd like to have a discussion about the topic you raised in your article. I'm sure you noticed my skepticism towards your idea; we certainly don't see eye-to-eye on the Zelda series, let alone where to take it from here. But perhaps you can sway me, if you've got a few moments.

Yeah. It would be epic.

If only Zelda let me do quests in the order I wanted and encourged me to expore for side quests.

Actually, me considering Fallout3 an ok game- not great has nothing to do with me putting jrpgs on a pedestal or being snobish with rpgs.  The first several WRPG from BEthesda/Bioware were amazing. Now, they are starting to feel the same. Just as isometric rpgs did after a while. The same goes for jrpgs. If I had a pc capable of playing Dragonage I would play it. I like the idea of blending isometric and 3rd person action rpgs.  I am also kinda interested in Borderlands, but I don't like FPS most of the time. The VAts system saved Fallot 3 for me because it let me aim with out the analog stick for critical shots. It was also a nice callback to an element of  combat from the old game. Critical hits and called shots are awesome.  As close as it was, the world of FO3 felt different and did not quite capture the atmosphere of the origals that I loved. It was good, and I wouldn't mid more, but it wasn't as good as the originals.  Now I am rambling so in short to resate the main point: Any rpg style gets old afterawhile and rpg fans are not i nherently snobs.

If by bigger you mean more interactive. That was the entire point of the entire article. Was how zelda could be more interactive and allow a closer connection with the world, people, and surrondings. I never said I wanted the world to be bigger or even hinted that I wanted it to be bigger.

I don't know about that. I don't recall ever being disapointed with the ending of a Zelda game or with a Gannon battle.  The end boss of Fallout 3 dies like a punk and the ending sucks. I know that by rebuying the game or downloading content I can play past t end with a higher level cap, but I really don't like the idea of paying to get an  ending that doesn't suck. It seems like something that should be in the base game. The giant robot was cool, but everything else was a letddown after it.

more sidequests and a less linear adventure is all i see necessary. Majoras mask and WW delivered very well in general with the sidequests, but TP felt like a step back, as it was much more restrictive and linear, up until you finished the water temple.
