Sure just do Ocarina of Time with PS3 graphics…that would be a welcomed fresh start. And let Naughty Dog make it

TLOZ: The Rail Walker… On rails shooter with waggle controls… I bet what ever it is it will have that auto play stuff making it granny friendly. That or a sand box type game… If there was one game that might get me interested in buying a wii again then it would be a new Zelda. But I think it might not be what I’m expecting…

I hope it’s more then just structure, but the content as well.

If it’s once again “hyrule field -> forest temple -> fire temple -> water temple etc etc”

Then count me out.

The “structure” of the Zelda games, how you progress through them and way the way the gameplay mechanics work into the exploration of the game world is something unique to the Zelda franchise.

Few games have ever copied it, Okami being a rare example of one that did.

Changing that structure is definitely a risky move, but then, so were a lot of the design choices in Wind Waker, and I was a huge fan of that title.

It’ll be interesting to see what they come up with, if nothing else.

I smell fanboy ire in the making!

Hopefully the surprise will be a *pleasant* one
