[DarkMaster]

A game can still be mature and not have to contain a bunch of dark and gritty aspects. Zelda could very well take a page from the Lord of the Rings, or something, where it's on a more mature and epic scale (but still very much fantasy), without swearing or heavy metal music. I think maybe you people are thinking of Prince of Persia 2 and are getting scared of seeing Link dressed in rugged clothing, slaughtering demons in an entourage of blood whilst swearing a blue streak for really no apparent reason.

You don't have to completely change the series in order to present something new. There's always been a certain light heartedness in the Zelda games, and that's worked out great. But there's no reason why they can't tone up the maturity level just a bit if they want to try something new.
