Zelda GCN Speculation or What You Want to See in the New Zelda Game

I like your ideas Ginkasa, but I definitely want this one to be realistic. Also..maybe there could be some co-op parts where you and other characters in the game have to do something..and the second player can be the other character. A good example would be like in Wind Waker when you needed to bring..the two characters(can't think of their names at the moment, though I think one was called Makar) into the temples.

As I've said, I would have liked a WW2 where they find the new continent, explore, build, etc...

But since that's not happening... I want Zelda to be realistic in more than just graphics...

Hunting, eating, resting, etc... I want all your kinds of areas to explore... Big open fields, lakes, forests, streams, swamps, an ocean (not as big as that in WW, but enough for there to be some fun islands and things to explore)... Everything... With multiple, bigger towns (not just 2 or 3 main ones)... And I don't want all the townsfolk to be happy people getting along perfectly fine...

I definately want a raft... I still want my fun going down a stream through a very foggy forest...

I want the overall plot to be more than just ganon and zelda... No matter how it's disguised (This girl is really Zelda! And look here's ganon!)...

And I would love it if there was a town like in Suikoden (best example I could think of) or whatever which grows as you go through the game... New buildings are built, new stores start up, new townsfolk move in, some people die, etc...

Yeah...

Oh yeah, and I want it to take time to cross these huge enviornments... At least for the first time exploring, I want it to feel like you're truly traveling miles and miles... Then they could work in some system later in the game that makes travel faster (besides the horse)...

We don't know that. A different gaphical style does not mean that this is a different Link or a game that isn't a sequel to The Wind Waker. They were referring to it as WW2. Nobody's ever said anything that would seem to imply that Zelda GCN isn't not actually WW2.

IGN says it's not going to be called Wind Waker 2, and it's not going to be a direct sequel to any of the games...

However, another thing I forgot to mention is that I hope it still has good backstory and ties to past games like WW did... WW was a huge step forward for a Zelda story...

The actual name has nothing to do with it. Majora's Mask was not called Ocarina of Time 2 nor was The Wind Waker.

And I don't know where IGN got that it wasn't a direct sequel to any of the games. That wasn't said in any of the interviews. I haven't seen the press conference, though...

Does it say anything about that in it?

I could have sworn when I read that roundtable, the developer talked about how the game will not be called Wind Waker 2, and won't be a remake or a sequel.. hmmm...

"So Mr. Aonuma actually wasn't lying at the Game Developer's Conference when he said we were working on Wind Waker 2. He just didn't tell the whole story. And fortunately because he didn't tell the whole story, we were able to surprise you all here with a big announcement about the series."

That quote makes it sound like it WILL be a sequel to WW, which I think would be neat.. If it skipped ahead a number of years, Link is now grown up, they've already found the new continent and established a few towns, but there's still a lot of exploring to do and what have you...

But I thought I heard it was confirmed to not be a sequel...

Edit: Oh, and another thought... It doesn't even have to be the same link in the game... It could take place generations in the future where there is already a nice established hyrule, and the backstory to the intro could be the story of what happened after WW... So technically it wouldn't be a true sequel to WW... Unless you count WW to be a true sequel to OoT...

Isn't it a different Link in every game? Thats what someone told me...but then i got to thinking, how many people in Hyrule are there named Link and Zelda?
