So what can they change to a game based on Saving a Princess? Kill the Princess? Yes...thats a sure fire way to make sure you have future games.

Did I say they should kill the Princess? Please point out where I said that. Oh thats right, I didn't. I said they should maybe take the series in a darker path for at least one game. Thanks for reading.

Zelda games work. Bitch all you want about it not being a good game, about any game being a good game. But how many have they made? Alot? So that means it has to be partially successfull correct?

Did I say I didn't like the Zelda series? Please point out where I said that. Oh thats right, I didn't. In fact I believe I said I LOVED Windwaker and even call the franchise "great". Thanks for reading.

I love Zelda games. I've loved EVERY Zelda game ever made. They are all awesome. OoT was my favourite, I will admit, and I have beaten it a whopping 30 times.

I love Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli. I've loved EVERY can I've ever eaten. That doesn't mean that every once in a while I wouldn't like an Overstuffed or *shock* maybe even a Spaghetti-O every once in a while. Variety is good, even in the Chef Boyardee franchise.

I dont see the big deal about not changing the basic storyline.

Its not the same game.

Its not a sequal.

In fact, Im pretty sure in every game, it has NOTHING to do with any of the other ones.

(This section is for Link 1130 also)To me the lack of variety is a problem. Nintendo already has its loyal Zelda fans who will buy the game no matter what. There are also a lot of former Nintendophiles, such as myself, who once worshipped at the alter of their 8-bit box who have become disenfranchised by Nintendo not taking any chances with their most beloved franchises. A darker Link and Zelda game, which thankfully it looks like their attempting to do, would do a lot to pique our interest again.

This is a FORUM. That means that opinions that don't agree with you are welcome. Try and absorb that little fact sometime

Im not trying to be funny here or anything...but did I miss the part in any review for Zelda where they said their arnt any plot twists, where it said the game isnt dark, and where it said his face has no emotion?

I wasn't responding to the article, as I mentioned before, I responded to member's reactions to that article and how so many Nintendo fans seem unwilling to accept any serious story changes in the Holy Trinity of Nintendo (Mario, Zelda and Metroid). You may disagree with me on the stubborness that I see, but thats your right to do so.

Every Zelda game has some sort of little tiny twist, no matter how miniscule it is...so there goes point numero uno.

Which revolves around Ganon kidnapping Zelda... nice try.

And they have the capability to do the emotion on the face, I dont know if they will or not, so point 3, undoubtedly remains in tact.

Typhoid, please try and recognize hyperbole. I was exagerrating to make a point. Even in Windwaker Link made an angry face when attacking someone. My point was that for a series that is violence based it always has a happy-go-lucky feel about it even when you're slicing up the enemy. This new darker Zelda might be a nice change.

But bottom line, Every Zelda game is different. Every one. Sure the basis is the same, Kill Gannon(dorf) and save Zelda. But you let Mario of of the hook, so why cant you let Link off huh? Right...because he isnt a plumber.

What the hell are you talking about? My whole point is that the story doesn't change even when the gameplay does change. I even explicitly said this when I talked about Metroid. Did you read my post or just skim it once you saw "The Strangler" wrote it and then started writing?

And lets compare Mario and Zelda ok?

Mario
------

-Plumber
-Save Princess


Link
----------
-Whatever he is in that game...
-Save Princess


Oh, whats this? The basis of the game is the same!!?!?!

*Shock*

My point here was that there are more opportunities to change Zelda since in its heart it is a fantasy game based on sword and sorcery. Theres a lot that can be done with this.

Meanwhile Mario is a plumber who gets sucked down the drain into a world ruled by turtles who captured a princess. That really doesn't give you much room to work with, now does it? They tried once, and it led to a really bad movie. I wouldn't want to put anyone through that again.
