i need a wii...eww
Yaaaay.

wiiman
SWEET another Zelda. I can see why they take long because Zelda is their most valuable game, if one is crappy it might ruin Zelda's reputation. They should make the next one like the twilight princess style but with bigger and badder bosses and different creatures. It should be a whole new concept for Zelda.

Proud Wii owner
Well for the moment I'm happy with TP.

aaron
Wow that's cool, I want a Wii Zelda not a gamecube port of zelda on Wii with Wii controls. Hopefully voice acting is used.

LOZfan
Really? Hopefully it is a sequel to twilight princess.

Ekaj185
Another Zelda game?! I just finished TP! Sad about Phantom Hourglass though.

ganondorfrules
Yea another one that should definitely be interesting and fun.

[RS]Omega_Red
"wiiman": Not to rain on your parade, but I think they already hurt Zelda's Rep with Wind waker. But TP definitely makes up for it. Can't wait for the next one, they better not wait until they release the next system. They only seem to put out one Zelda per system.

econo
Cool! Half way done twilight princess, it's so awesome. Phantom hourglass wasn't high up on my list of things to get but that sucks none the less.

Master Foot
I doubt that voice acting will be used. If it is used, then only NPCs might have lines. By not doing it, Nintendo can save on localization costs but on the other hand it would give the Zelda universe a richer feel. On a side note, TP should have New Game+ like in WW.

Sangor
Wind Waker didn't hurt Zelda's reputation at all. People were undecided about the change in graphical style, but it received amazing reviews from gamers and press alike.

wiiman
Maybe wind waker hurt its reputation but those type of games like the adventure of 4 swords are like mini games getting you ready for twilight princess. I didn't like the wind waker graphics. Twilight princess and ocarina graphics I like a lot. That style.

[RS]Omega_Red
Well I know I wasn't undecided about the graphic style. And it did hurt it. It turned more mature gamers away from the game because it looked like something you could see on Saturday morning cartoons. So in turn it did hurt the Zelda franchise a lil. That's why TP really helped bring them back.

Mo1979
Give us time to at least finish TP!

Airkat
I'm one of those who don't think wind waker sucked at all. It was a fun game with a great story. Nintendo is well-known for delivering fun games without focusing on graphics. If half of you are the Nintendo and Zelda lovers you claim to be, you would've played wind waker and THEN evaluated it. Not look at the graphics and decide it sucks.

wiiman
If you look at the graphics for a lot of games you are probably going to say they suck or they rock, if they rock you are more probable to buy the game.

Econo
I agree with Arikat, I believe the only way to decide if you like a game or not is if you play it. Reviews help but playing is believing.

rob
Wind waker was awesome. I thought the brighter approach made it a lot more interesting to look at. But I like cartoons so..

PHiRE
Both styles are good, but for me WW has the edge in gloomy levels like dungeons. I like to see some colour.

i need a wii...eww
What!?! I loved WW! I played it, exhausted it, played it over and over, but I do prefer OOT. Those who say 'ohh yaaa the graphics are good so the game is good' I mean, COME ON, I say this all the time:: I don't care about graphics as long as I can see what's going on!

Ekaj185
Wind Waker WAS fun. Not as fun as other Zelda games, but it was good anyway.

hero_of_time
My favorites were OOT and MM.

warrior prime
I never bought a Zelda game until I got a Wii (then I got TP). I always got metroids, other FPSs, racing games and one or two sports games. TP is incredible, but I would never pay money for WW.

Fox Fan
Zelda's awesome. If whoever is reading this is related to super smash bros brawl, then please change fox's look!

wiiman
Graphics aren't everything to me and if they were I would have bought the ps3. I'm just saying I like games partially because of graphics and gameplay. Was there even a plot for wind waker? Plus I like when graphics are realistic or superstrikers like animation. OOT and TP graphics are just my style. Plus when I saw wind walker trailers it looked a little corny. Tp has a full blown storyline.

Shadow
Wind Waker was a pretty good game, it was just too easy to beat. Twilight Princess proves that Nintendo can hang with the big boys! I beat it in 23hrs 30mins with all items all hearts, and all poe souls plus with credits. How long did it take for everyone else to beat TP?

ZELDA OWNZ
That is sweet, it will be hard to beat tp. I can't wait, wonder what it will be called!

Wii128
The Wii is the best.

Wii-Master
I have heard that the next zelda will be different from the old zelda games. That sounds promising, every game since ocarina of time has been almost the same, they are quite similar. I want something new, a brand new Zelda experience, something that can fully take advantage of the wii's controller, something that can appeal to the gamer who is beginning to grow up. Hope they make it somewhat like oblivion, so you can create the hero you are going to play with, and in first-person view, so you control the sword 100% with the wiimote, and shield with the nunchuck, that would be awesome don't you think! And a multiplayer swordfighting mode would be nice.

Zelda ROCKS
Well, since I've already beaten the TP I can't wait for the next Zelda game.

94lach
TP was beautiful. Though I have to admit I missed the GERUDOS, and the SHEIKAH. Hope they'll show up in the next game.

94lach
I would enjoy a (defend the wall) mission, like a great war. And some more awesome red headed kickass girls (Gerudos)!

FierceDietyLink
I don't know if its just me but I liked WW better than TP. I liked being able to basically beat one small dungeon and then be able to go and explore wherever I please without being bothered by the quest, and then go back and beat the quest when I felt like it. TP felt much more rushed and cramped(mainly through the first few temples) because you went from mission to mission without having the option to even explore it all. I liked being able to explore a huge world right off the bat. Still I'm in love with OOT and MM.

ShadowLink8
I really think it would be cool if the next game showed the Great Flood that takes place sometime before Wind Waker!

FierceDietyLink
I'm with shadowlink8 on that one. That would be an epic story and they would be able to do some huge cutscene of the world being flooded at the end and what happens to Link! I'm also mad at shadowlink8 for bringing that up, because now I want it to happen :P.

Gonzo
Still playing TP, but I hope they make a new game. I love these games, they're so adventurous.

Gonzo
I'm only up to Lakebed Temple. I'm kind of slow at games.

Gonzo
I do hope they make a new game.

Dudeman
The next Zelda game, be it different from the rest or just a sequel to TP, should definitely include some of those cool elements that they cut from TP. Things such as all those cool pics of the woods and of all the enemies coming over the horizon with the sunset in the background.

Maj
A new Zelda game eh? I was expecting a Master's Quest version of TP. But if they're doing this they HAVE to make it a lot harder this time around. Can't wait for this one!

Batman
ShadowLink8, that would be a great story line, the world flooding at the end to set up the story from wind waker. Wasn't WW supposed to have taken place like 200 yrs after OOT? Anyway that's a great idea.

Anonymous
Huh! I never thought of a master quest version of TP. That would be friggin' awesome.

Zeldafreak21
The next Zelda game is going to be first person view (I read it in a magazine).

Coolperson
Yeah, I like TP it was cool - but it would be cool if they put a little romance in the next one. Also more adventure.

dekunut
Man, I hope they don't make the new Zelda in first person. That would suck. Where did you read that?

dudeman
Side quests are the main thing I would want in the next game. I felt so lonely in TP.

biggest zelda fan
The new game will be a realy fun game knowing all the others are amazing it will also be crazy cool.

zelda ruler
Zelda would be nothing to me if it was first person view, it makes me dizzy as hell.

Xanithar
Zelda is my favorite game of all time. There are 2 Zelda games however that I despise. ZELDA 2 for the Original Nintendo (I grew up with that game and it was cheap and extremely disappointing). Then Majora's Mask in my opinion was absolutely annoying, redundant and reduced my patience to ashes. Twilight Princess RULES.

Bmoney
You are crazy to think Majora's Mask was not a good game. It was a great game actually and many think it is the best Zelda game ever made. I loved it.

BrothaZ
Bmoney, a lot of people consider a lot of zelda games to be the best one ever made. LoZ. A Link to the Past. Ocarina of Time. Majora's Mask. Twilight Princess. It's just going to keep it up with great games. As of now, Eiji Aounuma's favorite Zelda game is actually Phantom Hourglass, so. Expect PH to be pretty freakin' good.

Demonreven
I hope it will be a sequel to twilight princess, and that midna will be in the game too.

midnarocks
I really hope they make the next Zelda game for Gamecube, I can't afford anything else.

Wiisus Christ
My brother works for Nintendo in japan as the Sr Manager in web marketing for the Nintendo website. He's good friends with eiji aonuma. He said that the next Wii zelda has been in progress for 1 1/2 years. He also said that they haven't come up with a name yet but it will involve a title somewhat like ocarina of time. He also said they will have 11 dungeons, over 90 hrs of gameplay. The best part about it he said was it's going to be three times the size of twilight princess. My brother's name is Dan Owsen. He really appreciates fan letters.

e1ement739
People who ask for voice acing? You serious? This takes away the essence of all Zelda games. Note: Link doesn't talk. This is always the same each game, but they do it for a reason. I think it's all about each of us being our own Link or hero, so therefore a voice cannot be added.

sach
TP, completed it twice but it was cool. The next game should be linked to this one when ganondorf returns.

SkyNet
TP is a very good game and PHG it very good too, but I hope they release a new Zelda game soon since I already finished all. WW is a very good game for all of us who played it story wise, it was awesome.

wiicloud9
Shoot! Already?

frogman
Actually, I think voice acting would make a fine addition. Look at Metroid Prime 3. The voice acting made the game feel more realistic and cinematic than previous games. Also, Link probably wouldn't talk, Samus never talked and took the role of the silent protagonist.

Peach is #1
Hope you can still turn into a wolf, or a dragon would be cool, but doubt the dragon. I wish you could choose to play as Zelda though.

Nony mouse
It would be awesome if it was a sequel to Twilight Princess. I just finished Twilight Princess today (because the last time my games got erased while I was at the last dungeon) and it was the first Zelda game that I actually thought "Damn, I hope to Christ there's a sequel" about. I mean the ending makes no sense at all so there has to be a sequel.

bread
I disagree. I think the ending to TP makes perfect sense. Also, if the next Zelda game were in first person, or had excessive voice acting, I wouldn't buy it.

garomaster263
I also agree that the new game should hopefully end with the great flooding. It would be the second Zelda game to have a not entirely happy ending (TP ending was more bittersweet than happy). Also does anyone know what happened to the deku butlers son in the MM credits?

Albino Jedi
A new Zelda game after Twilight Princess? That's awesome! I hope it's not in first person but I do wish they would have some voice acting in it instead of just mumbling and screams like in TP. Even the graphics in TP were pretty dang good, I hope they make the graphics in the new one better. I wonder what it's going to be about? I think it would also be pretty cool if you could play as Zelda at certain parts. I hope Link gets new weapons and items too.

slaton22
Omega_red I would say they put 2 per system. N64: ocarina of time and majoras mask. Gamecube: windwaker and twilight princess (was originally for the Gamecube).

TruBlu
I hope it won't change that much from the original LOZ formula because I've yet to play one! Have all of 'em but they belong to my other siblings.

linkster
I thought of a good name if it suits the new game (The Pendent of Light).

dark mage agahnim
I think they should change Link's role. Instead of being some small village kid, they should make him a castle guard in training. I can imagine the first thing you do is some sword training as your control tutorial. And I'd love to see the return of Agahnim. That'd be awesome.

Zeldoid
What's the record for doing TP? I can do it in 9.5 hours.

shmirka
WOOHOO. I'm at arbiters grounds but still I really want a new Zelda for Wii. Oh and while they're at it, how bout Nintendo gets off their butts and make Pikmin 3 for Wii and stop making Mario. It's the same stupid girl getting stolen from the same stupid koopa. Go Zelda.

Johnny
On this one it would be cool if you could kind of choose who you want to be. Like on majora's mask how they had the different mask for the different race. So maybe they should find a way to be Hylians, Gorons, Zoras, Korkiri, Gerudo, or Shiekiahs. I don't know how you could work Link, Zelda and Ganondorf into that but it would still be cool.

Robert
Man I can't wait. I just finished TP on the Wii. It's awesome. All the other games are too.

Robert
Zeldoid: What's the record for doing TP? I can do it in 9.5 hours. I doubt you can do that, it's impossible, unless you have hacks.

Jeff
I think the new zelda game should INCLUDE zelda? Hmm? Hmmm?

Troy
I got upset when I saw someone saying that the Wind Waker hurt Zelda's rep. Couldn't disagree more. I too was skeptical of the new graphics, but it turned out to be my favorite to date, and I do love them all. Obviously, you didn't give it a chance. Can't wait for the new game.

seth
There are many things we can all agree on, and that is wind waker was geared for a younger crowd. I feel it even gave more hints than most Zelda games and TP was much better than a timed role play of majoras mask, but we need to finally have a game with voice to the characters, where the story will more theatrical.

bessem
I think the new game should be called the pendent of light, but I doubt Midna will be in it.

Zelda Lover
Wind waker was geared toward younger crowds but was generally still a pretty fun game. On the other hand, phantom hourglass still sucked. I hope the sequel to TP is amazing with the map a bit bigger. If they added actual voices that would be nice too but it would hike up nintendo's price. The game would be great either way.

Link Lover
Yay. A new Zelda game~ I just finished Twilight Princess and I loved it. Hopefully this one will be better.

Best Series= Zelda
I'm hoping for a Zelda game similar to Ocarina of Time. One thing I'm worried about is when they said "Twilight Princess will be the last of its kind", and I'm hoping it's not something that would ruin the tradition of Zelda games. Although WindWaker was a great game, cel-shaded toon graphics are just not satisfying to me. I'm also worried that since Ganondorf is over-used, he wouldn't be in the next Zelda game. Ganondorf is my favorite villain. A perfect Zelda game to me just needs Ganondorf, except for Majora's Mask, that game was just awesome anyway.

Frodnonag
Beware. I am Frodnonag. I will be the new villian in the next Zelda game. I have no relations to Ganondorf whatsoever. Muaha.

POWER
I have to agree with TROY on the Wind Waker, I despised the graphic look but it turned out to be the ONLY Zelda game I have played over and over again. I actually prefer it to Twilight Princess which many may find shocking. I'm looking forward to a Zelda game with a little more re-play appeal, I know Twilight had an array of different side quests but they were far from entertaining. The neat 'Club Nintendo' camera game in WW was a really nice touch. I'd like to see that re-hashed for the next game. I'd like another cel-shaded Zelda but I class that as highly unlikely. I'd also like to add that this is only the SECOND time a sequel has been made on one particular console. N64 had OOT and MM, Game Cube only had WW and now Wii will have two!

ben
The next Zelda game should be about link eating the tri-force.

YoshLee
Awesome, I've already beat twilight princess and phantom hourglass. I personally hope it's a twilight princess sequel, but another wind waker style legend of zelda would be fine too.

Plaugefiend
They should have a new villain, King Zant was awesome. But if they make another Zelda game, what would be the plot and main characters?

Rags
Wow, I'm just hearing about this? Wind Waker type game for Wii please.

i need a wiieww
I think this was links crossbow training.

Big N
No that was just a teeny add-on to make the zapper more appealing and did you know there's a Zelda movie? Out April 2009.

linkrules
You have a point to tp coolperson. There really should have been more romance in it.

LoZrulez
Well I hope that a relationship between Zelda and Link is clear in this next Zelda game. I want to see if they do have a thing for each other.

A Guy
They don't. Zelda is a princess, Link is a peasant boy who is also about half her age, unless the Triforce makes her immortal and she's really 378 years old or something. Link is in love with Ilia during TP, he'll probably get someone else in the next one. He sure doesn't think Zelda's ugly, but he's not in love with her. The reverse is also true.

Cow
Airkat, I agree. Every game is great in it's own way.

Link
Dude, I thought Windwaker was tight. It was something new. You know? Sailing a boat, added a whole map to explore for treasure, and the maps in windwaker were very detailed.

Ganondorf
Well, Zelda is the only reason I bought the Wii, and I was wondering in the beginning of the Majora's Mask scene, they say Link is in search of a lost friend, does anyone know who that might be! If they do a Zelda movie I will be annoyed if they don't live up to the game, and thirdly WW - the only thing that I didn't like was looking for the shards. I would rather the shards be broken up between new temples in the game, it would have made it longer. I think in the TP game that they didn't work enough on the puzzles, this game was really easy, but I did love the story. I hope though in the next game they bring the three arrows: fire, ice and light and it would be nice to see some more weapons from the past. The next one better be harder, and also I did like the twist on OoT where you think you're done then you realize right when you become adult Link that this game is only half over.

ZElda pwns
I hope the new Zelda will be kind of freestyle, you know like have different villages and like a main city kind of like in oblivion elder scrolls 4. I mean you can do whatever you want in that game, Zelda should be more free and let gamers do whatever they want. And especially more creatures and having them more realistic and not so cartoonish looking. Most of all tons of new weapons so you can like buy different ones and earn some from quests and stuff, that would be cool. New armors too, I'm sick of that dang green tunic. I liked the magic suit in tp with all the armor stuff. They should make different weapons and clothing parts equipable.

Liyn
I loved all of the Zelda games, and I'll admit, I was skeptical about WW. But, I tried out the demo, thought about it, and figured it was worth a shot. It turned out to be a great game, even though it was different from OOT and MM.

Nietoperz
Twilight Princes is the worst Zelda for me but it's still great. I just hope the graphics in next Zelda will be at Wii full power and sword swinging will be real because in TP you just had to shake Wii remote. Sword swinging is the worst thing in the game because it wasn't real like it should be. And I hope they will add new weapons and change story line. I would like to play a Remake of first Zelda with new dungeons in 3D.

gotzelda
Ya dude maybe what they should do for the next Zelda game is like have online features using the new wi-fi technology, like you could download new dungeons, areas, monsters, storylines, items, and other stuff. That would be really cool.

anonymous
The best series ever. If it is a sequel to TP, I just hope that in the new one the puzzles will be more taxing and the bosses will be much harder.

Robert
Awesome! I've finished TP 2 times on the Wii now. Can't wait for the next.

Dark Star
I'd heard rumors of this in the middle of last year, but figured it was a hoax. Shows I was way wrong. And on WW the graphics didn't bother me. What bothered me was that it was too short. Only seven dungeons compared to on average nine dungeons.

Wiipaw
Nintendo, I expect a REAL ORCHESTRA for the next Zelda game. I saw the early trailer for TP after I beat it, and I was shocked because the orchestra in the trailer was AMAZING, but you had to cut it out. And don't give me the "our budget was running low" crap. You spend 2.2 billion in 2002 to research for a game console which will not be released for 5 years, you orchestrate Super Mario Galaxy, but not Zelda? I hope you will have a higher budget after the colossal sales of Wii Fit. Wait a second. I just yelled at a video game company that probably does not go to fansites. Doh.

Julien
I thought TP was to short not wind waker.

SuperBarioMothers
WW was awesome and it does have kiddy graphics but it does not change the game play. It was a huge world and one of the most original since OoT. TP was great but I don't think it was that amazing. It makes more sense when Link is a kid than a young adult. The knew on should be vast and we should be able to see Link as he grows and gets older instead of a time skip.

Dark Star
WW seemed short to me because I didn't include the hours of monotonous sailing (those that played it know I'm not exaggerating). Not to mention the sharks. The annoying things took forever to kill them because when one appeared, ten started circling me. Even with the boomerang it was a pain.

ShadowLink
Does anyone else think that link was a pimp in oot because you know, he had Ruto the zora princess, zelda princess of hyrule, malon the farm girl, and Saria the kokiri girl! Damn he was a player!

ummm probably not
Umm aaron? Way up at the top? Well, voice acting will not be used for link. Miyamoto made him a mute so the player can relate more to link and not have differences (besides the fact that he lived like, hundreds of years ago) but voice acting for everything else would be nice.

Bandr
I hope they make it harder than twilight princess, I finished it way too fast.

Bandr
I loved WW because it was hard, with all the others I finish everything within the week. For WW it took me a full blown month just for the stupid triforce collecting.

WHAT
Ww and mm were alright, but oot was absolutely amazing. TP is next in line, though if this new zelda game is truly in the making, hopefully they'll drop the wolf idea. He's link. Not a dog.

SxeKit[backtalk]
Wow all you haters out there! WW was a great game. And first person? No. I like being able to control my camera angle. It wasn't too hard or too easy. PHG was actually a bit harder, besides I had never played a DS before, great game. And don't even get me started on TP! That was just.. wow.. indescribable.

Mitch
Wind Waker, in my opinion, had the best story of any Zelda game made. The graphics amazed me too as well as the actual fighting. I was actually disappointed in TP. It had like 2 side quests that just involved gathering cash and in hyrule castle town there weren't enough things there. It was an okay game, but not worth the wait to me. Majora's Mask was also awesome for me. But I had a thought, are the people in the twilight realm the same ones that made majora's mask? Please let me know if you hear something.

A true Zelda fan
If you guys really care about Zelda like you say you do, you wouldn't be saying all these faults and what needs to be done to improve them. Every Zelda game was in a class above all the rest and not a single one of them was ever bad. The WW idea of having cellshaded graphics was, in my mind, good, because they were trying to reach out to a new crowd of younger people while still maintaining the classic Zelda experience. I can't wait for the Zelda to be released. NO first person, that is crazy and doesn't go with any of the other games and probably won't for this one.

Brian
TP was a great game, I loved it, but OoT was probably my favorite. The new Wii zelda should have child and adult Link again. Also I think they strayed to far from Ganon and the master sword. Bring those 2 things back (also the masks). Make child Link have a bigger part, like 9 dungeons as a kid, 9 as an adult. And if you're talking optional items they should put in biggorons sword. Basically it needs ganon, master sword, kokiri sword, mirror shield, deku shield and TP graphics (no great sea crap) and no cel-shading.

Brian
To all the people saying I hate wind waker: I don't. I just didn't like hyrule being flooded. And WW graphics were good, I just liked TP's more.

Zelda206
Twilight Princess game rocks the best out of all of them, just saying that I can't wait for the next game to come out! I really hope it's a sequel to TP.

Zelda206
Anybody who says they hate Zelda has issues, because it's got to be the best game ever invented. I can't wait for the next game to get out.

sean74
What they should do is make it more action based instead of puzzle based, the puzzles are great and challenging, but how about a fighting challenge, something I haven't seen yet on a Zelda title - more fighting.

Zeldian
Personally I did not like WW when I saw its graphics, but later when I played it it turn out to be an OK game, besides the fact that it was too easy. PH was an OK game, but I like it because it's multi player game is a lot of fun. OOT was an awesome storyline, nothing wrong with it. MM was an OK game, the best part was the 4 masks of transformation, I loved rolling around. TP was so far the best game I ever played (graphics were good, storyline was detailed, and there were some new features I liked, like using other items on your horse, etc.) the new Zelda game would definitely need TP graphics and features, needs a good storyline, needs to be longer and harder, needs some new items, needs some more interesting side quests, link needs an instrument of some kind. The possibility of an adult/kid link would be nice but if it is to be a sequel to TP then that couldn't work, would be nice to explore areas from previous games, like be able to go to the fire temple in OOT and not have it be a dungeon but simply a place to walk around and observe what took place there long ago. Playing in 1st person just doesn't seem like it would be very interesting. Also voices for characters would spend more of Nintendo's budget when they could spend that on better game play. It would be nice if they included a multi player on the game so that when you buy a $50 game that you beat in a week that you could play it again and again with some multi player feel to it, so the money you spent doesn't go to a complete waste. It would be interesting if they added the feature where link can level up. Then for sure they need to get link a wider selection of outfits, shields, swords, boots, and gauntlets. But most importantly the game should be fun and attracting to all audiences and exciting to play, because without that the series would fail. That's it for me.

smashbro
I really hope they don't use cel-shading or I might not buy it.

Link
Wind Waker's combat was actually BETTER than any other zelda game out there. The 'punch ups' to the music when you hit someone was terrific AND the whole counter system did flippin wonders.

happy
Is it even POSSIBLE to top Twilight Princess!

zeldafreak
I think like a lot of people here that they so should make a sequel to TP. I so have to agree with 94lach, I absolutely love the gerudos and was so depressed when they weren't in tp, the game would have been so much better and longer as well because you would have to do all that stuff with sneaking past them to get something important like in MM. And it would be a new thing if the sheikah were in the next game. I think they should make the next game longer and have more characters and places for link to visit. They should have some old major characters from the old games and create new characters as well. That way the game would be much longer because link is helping more people. They should have more temples and the world should be really huge. Of course they should still have the zoras and gorons, not to mention the hyrulians because they're always in it. I think that it would be a twist if saria came back or a village or tribe was like the kokiri race, and the people looked the same but older - but that's just me and my opinion.

Leo13
Sorry there Omega_Red but you are wrong and they release a minimum of 2 Zelda games per system, I own every Zelda game and have beaten them all as well. So far for Wii there is Twilight Princess and Link's Crossbow Trianing. For GameCube is Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, and Four Swords Adventures. For Game Boy Advance there's Minish Cap, Link to the Past, exc. There are 2 or 3 games per System. Including the Phillips CD-I that had 3 Zelda games.

heroofmasks
Here it is the title of the new Zelda game. Don't think it's a sequel of TP, but says it to be like it: The Legend of Zelda: Axis of Shadows.

Hero of Time
Listen wind waker's graphics were awesome and all Zelda games are great, but the new Zelda game should be like majora's mask. And what the hell was fierce deity supposed to be.

Hero of Time
There's usally two zelda games per console but if this new zelda game gets delayed who knows.

A Zelda Fan
When I got OOT it was because of Smash Bros. I was fairly new to video games. My favorite character was Link so I wanted a Zelda game. I had never even heard of the series before because I was so young. When I got it, it was the most awesome thing there ever was. The story and really everything else was amazing. I don't really like MM. I have only rented or borrowed it from people and it just never really got me hooked. Wind Waker was pretty good too. I have played through it maybe 4 times at the most. It had like a billion side quests, which were awesome and an amazing story. I just didn't like the cel shading, it was good, just not what I thought Zelda should be. Then the uber awesomeness that is Twilight Princess came out. I think I like this more than OOT but I am not entirely sure. The story and characters were awesome. My only gripes about the story are it didn't have too much to do with the Triforce as OOT and WW which disappoints me. Also, I didn't completely understand the ending so I REALLY want a sequel. One thing that I love the most about TP is the large number of area that you can quickly access to just go decimate enemies. A prime example is Hyrule Field Eldin, plus all the new sword techniques were cool and felt really good. As for voice acting, I agree with Frogman about having everyone except the main character (Link) talk. When I played Prime 3, I thought it was a good idea for Zelda. In Tp I also liked the aiming with the bow, it was WAY easier than in past games if you couldn't be targeting when shooting. One last thing about TP is I wish some more Zelda weapons and stuff were there, such as the fire/ice/light arrows (yes I know Zelda used them, but I want to use them), and the mirror shield. Oh and the bosses should be harder.

LoZ ROCKS
TP had a HUGE Hyrule. I heard one of you say the map will be 3x bigger and 90 hrs. Holy $%!@, if it will be 20 hrs riding epona (horse) to death mountain and zora's domain etc they should give dozens of portals.

Zelda never has a sequel.

Alright, it seems people here are a little confused when it comes to the storyline of Zelda. Almost all of the games DO fit together, if you make certain connections between plots. I'll just talk about a small portion of the plot involving the most recent games and their history. In the direct sequel plotline, Ocarina comes first. Ocarina splits the future of Hyrule into 2 different futures, according to Nintendo, and if you look at it, it makes sense. One future is where link has been sent back in time and is a kid. The first sequel for that future is obviously MM, which has young link going to save Termina, and then we can assume he returns to Hyrule by the end cut scene. Next in this future is Twilight Princess, though whether this is a different Link and Zelda from OOT and MM, or the same just grown up, is debatable. So far, that's as far as that future goes. The other future is where Zelda is an adult and sends Link back in time at the end of OOT. Hyrule then floods, without Link to save it. People flee to the mountains, which obviously become the islands of WW and PH, the sequels in this future. The other Zelda games that actually have plot: Minish Cap, Four Swords, and A Link to the Past, all come after this. This would seem wrong at first, but if you remember, the Great Deku Tree in WW talks about his plan to raise Hyrule back out of the water. Apparently he succeeded, since though MC and FS can go before OOT, ALTTP cannot. Also, the world maps of some of these games show a world surrounded in water. The other games have no plot importance whatsoever, so they can be tacked on at the end. Ta-da! Perfect timeline. I kind of rambled by putting the whole timeline on, but I couldn't let Dawnawar's comment slide. To answer those people who are talking about the next Zelda game possibly being about the Great Flood, they may well be right. Nintendo circulated some rumors in interviews which MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRUE! Most of you will hopefully agree that it would be better for the Zelda games as a whole if this games never gets made. The rumored game is called The Legend of Zelda: Deluge. It involves a hero who ISN'T LINK. He has black hair, and may have voice acting. He has a horse, but it isn't Epona. It's a black horse who's name Nintendo hasn't revealed. Now, it's supposed to follow the general formula set down by OOT, and set in the OOT world, but with an MM sense of urgency. There is a flood timer, and you better hope you can save everyone before it floods. However, this guy is literally NOT LINK. You know what that means. No Master Sword, no Light Arrows, no Ocarina, nothing. As you can probably imagine, this will make defeating the final boss, whether its Ganon or some other guy, difficult. Another issue I have with the game is Nintendo's announcement of having stuff like a steam train and deku muskets. I hope everyone's with me when I say this would completely trash Zelda's reputation which was set down by OOT and has already been tarnished by WW and ESPECIALLY PH. So everyone hope that the next Zelda game has nothing to do with Nintendo's rumors outlined above.

Zeldaofthepast
Honestly, TP was an awesome game, the only parts I don't like is the fact that you don't use Epona very much because you have the portals. I mean, Link's way around in OOT in much of it was Epona and even the horse was part of the storyline. The game was too short and need to be a bit more challenging with both puzzles and bosses. The OOT had a lot of challenging temples and there were a lot of them. Also there needs to be more action. A lot of the time in TP you were either solving a lot of little puzzles or venturing around Hyrule. The storyline was great but it didn't seem to have a lot in it unlike OOT where there were parts of the storyline within the whole game. And one more thing, there needs to be a lot more side stuff you can do with each temple or chain of quests you do so your occupied or if you want to stray off from the main story for a while.

Zeldaofthepast
I don't think they would completely change Zelda's with this black haired kid. Zelda's always been about Link and the master sword and saving princess Zelda from Ganondorf.

Gosh, a new zelda game.

Horsemonkey
OoT is without a doubt, the best game ever made. While cel-shaded entries into the series such as WW are good, their graphical style just doesn't suit the overall mood that LoZ games convey. TP is good because it follows on where ocarina left off but with better graphics, however it s gameplay and plot can't match the pure brilliance of OoT. For any new LoZ games, Nintendo should limit the cel-shaded ones to the DS and make another ocarina styled game for their home consoles. It would be brilliant to see another game like TP on the Wii maybe with better motion controls, lengthier gameplay and better graphics. All this talk of oblivion style leveling up and armor is silly. Zelda games are not meant for this.

8-bit link
Ok I think most real Zelda fans will agree with me on this one but OoT is still the best. It was the first to go 3d and had the best graphics at the time. I know many that say tp has better graphics, you have to be retarded to not see that, but think of the time it came out. On the topic of tp, it's a great game. Maybe it's just me (I did see some other people here that said this) but tp didn't capture the feel of the great Zelda games before it. Finally there's the talk about the ww. I congratulate the people that look past the graphics and played the game and see that it's the same gameplay we all love with some cartoon style and a much more epic storyline than tp. I will now finish on the final note saying all Zelda games are great and Nintendo is doing a fantastic job in all the Zelda games, some are just a little better than others.

Link4life
8-bit link I disagree with you. I found that tp might have been one of the best Zelda games ever released. Yes it had its ups and downs but I still think it captured the feel of all the Zelda games before it. I would have liked to see the ocarina again but other than that it was one of the best games I've ever played.

Wolf link
I think a new Zelda game would be interesting. They should definitely keep Link as the main character, but maybe have a new bad guy and Ganodorf is forced to be his slave or something.

IhaveSpoken
I read almost every review here and I'm shocked to find that no one mentioned one of the most important things Zelda can have: playable AFTER you beat the game. So you can continue and finish getting all your stuff. When I played Zelda TP I almost cried because I passed it in 2 human days (I slept very little) (total of around 25ish hours) and I rushed it. Sure I got a lot of the stuff but when I got to the boss and killed him I was expecting (especially after the credits, the way they look) to keep walking around normally. I may not be a wolf but hey I can start giving epona a workout and get all those hearts and containers and unlock all that stuff but nooo. I missed out on a lot. I only passed it with about 12 hearts and I was about to buy the magic armor but decided I would buy it after the temple. Sadly I didn't get to use it. THE POINT>>> there's this game called fable (for the xbox) and well the gameplay/storyline is brilliant on it. If the new Zelda could do something like that: "choose to save the world or destroy it/take it over" like be good or bad, AND be able to play it at the end. I honestly love Zelda to death but Fable just beats it completely because of the freedom and all the gear and sidequests, the only thing fable lacked that would have made it flawless is if it had mounts but I heard the new fable is going to have them so I'm keeping my hopes up.

A Zelda Fan
What are you talking about? There is plenty to do in TP after you beat Ganondorf. You can go get all the heart containers, poe souls, and gold bugs. You can also play the STAR mini game or the river raft, roll goal, or fish.

Sarah
Please make it look like Twilight princess, that game was so epic.

ZeldaCentral
Omega Red, you are completely wrong. Wind Waker was an EXCELLENT game, got great reviews, had a great storyline, great controls, great graphics (even if they were cel-shaded!) and TONS of content, PLUS it was addicting. It's been 5 years since release and tons of people are still playing it! All Zelda games are GREAT, may be the best series on any console.

Noel
I really don't mind at all if it takes years for Nintendo to complete a new Zelda or if there are delays. Honestly, I actually prefer it because that would only mean that the creators are taking careful time to make the game as close to perfect as possible.

A Zelda Fan
I have been watching E3 interviews with Reggie and he isn't giving away ANYTHING. This one guy asked what we knew about it and Reggie said we don't know anything. So the guy asked what Reggie knew and he said he knew a lot. People have been asking if it will use motion plus and Reggie seems to try to get away from the subject really quickly so I think it will use it.

lol
We need to see a new zelda game for 2008. E3 have already mentioned something new in the the works. They're just looking for that special something.

A Zelda Fan
The game isn't going to be released this year. I would say holiday season of 2009, which would put it 3 years after TP, that's how long the wait for Zelda usually is.

ZELDA RULES
Literally JUST finished Twilight Princess, about 20 minutes ago, I love the graphics! So can't wait for the next Zelda game.

Zelda-lover
I think it would be good if they made the next zelda like WW, only on one big piece of land and you had more items and a horse.

Nephis
Personally I think they need to stray away from the go to 8 dungeons kill final boss thing.

ZELDAZELDAFAN
I think the next zelda game should be a sequel to TP, as they did a sequel to OoT and WW, right? I also think WW is awesome, much harder than TP, even though the age rating was lower. Also, I'm undecided on voice acting. Maybe on princess Zelda etc, but not Link. The reason why I don't want Link to have voice acting is that I think people should have their own idea about who he is and how he sounds like. And I DON'T believe he is mute- after all, how would he scream?

Whisper
I heard that it will be a sequel to TP and the main boss will be called, "Ester Triforce". The guy responsible for all of Link's adventures and endeavors. Also there is talk about secrets involving the Triforce as Ester's last name is Triforce.

sam
This game has a big rep to hold. They'd better take a while for this one. Seeing how all the other games are masterpieces.

zeldarules
Linkster up there, I like the name Pendant of Light, I thinks it's pretty good. But anyway I only got through about half of twilight princess when I moved and my dog got into the box and got the case with the game in it - what a jip.

Dman
WW beat TP, though it was more cartoony it had a more complex story and wasn't just a bad copy of OoT. First person would suck because the controls would be horrible, the smooth fighting styles of Link would be meaningless to do if you didn't get to see finishes and special moves, no need to look uber if you can't see, also the interaction with the environment would greatly suffer. I heard it was going to be about the oracle of seasons/oracle of time but I'm not even sure it was true.

sage of darkness
I hope there is one thing all of us can agree on, and it's that OoT was the best of them all hands down. Seriously it's been game of the year countless times, it featured horseback riding, a great target-system, items. Replay value and finding out new things and endless exploration of Hyrule! How can anyone possibly compete with that?

Cult of the Blade
I agree with Horsemonkey. While including elements of Elder Scrolls IV would be interesting, the RPG angle of leveling up was attempted in the Adventure of Link for NES, which was an overall failure and the reason why Nintendo has never included it in any of the other Zelda titles.

Jake
I want this Zelda game to be full of action, action, action! I want there to be a war going on that Link has to fight in, that would be nice.

ChrisZ
First of all, first person view would be horrible. ESPECIALLY for the motion plus sword fighting that they are obviously preparing for the next game. All the jumps, rolls, and the powering-up of the sword with the round-slash move which is a classic and a must would not be possible. Voice acting, I agree with Miyamoto that Link should never speak, but cries, screams etc are a must. All other characters would be nice to have voices. Items like arrows should return, but with different abilities like maybe petrifying enemies to use as supports for climbing, covering holes etc, or maybe nature arrows that grow vines and other plants that Link can interact with. What else. There should definitely be a new final boss, or maybe old ones from the witches from the oracles, the one from the minish cap etc. It would be even greater if those evil spirits were revived and used as muppets by even greater spirits or gods. Link should start young, and very gradually get taller, grow hair, get faster and stronger to lift and use new items, and his face gradually change into a man's. That would definitely be great. Ruins from old game temples, villages and towns would be really welcome, giving a nostalgic feel to the old gamers who recognize them. It would be even better if these locations were from GB and GBA games, remade in 3D. Now onto some ideas on what the new legendary items should be (like masks, ocarinas etc in previous games). It would be interesting if Link's being was fragmented in a four swords style, were you could play a quest as his soul wandering, with limited abilities, until he then slowly gets his memories back, with us finding out what happened to him in the process, then maybe discovering his body in a deep sleep or something, joining with it, finally being able to move about and interact with the environment, or something in that fashion. Being possessed by a spirit gaining new abilities would be nice, gathering more and more of them to be able to finally gain their knowledge and abilities to find out what is going on (this has partly been already used in previous Zelda games). Definitely orchestrated music, and surround sound where you can listen to where enemies are coming from, or from where a soul is whispering or someone calls for help etc. If it would be possible that the game came in a DSi cartridge and a Wii disc, so that the DSi was used as a controller, with additional information, and views of the world, or even if the camera was used in some way, maybe looking around the room through the camera to discover something hidden in another dimension, or in the dark realm which is parallel to the real Zelda world. Imagine the possibilities. Co-operation could be used, with someone keeping a lookout through the DS, and managing stuff to help the one playing on the Wii complete a task. Something like a tingle tuner for the GBA, only now it would be a lot easier, with a seamless and fast, user-friendly connection. You could even discover it through the game as an item Link can use. Anyway, as you can imagine, the possibilities are endless. All you need are open and creative minds to feed the Zelda universe with ideas to prove it as a legend in the gaming world. Unfortunately, only time will tell, and we will almost definitely have to hold on for more than a year for the game to come out. At least the true Zelda fans have already practiced their patience and are prepared for such a long wait, however painful it might be. (I gave it a pretty tragic touch at the end didn't I?).

Ilia
I'm way excited about this. I mean twilight princess was their best game EVER. If they can do something even better, I'll be so happy. I really hope it's a sequel to twilight princess. I love Ilia. I want to see Link and Ilias relationship continue. That'd be awesome. Because at the end of TP we don't get to see what happens between them.

Aros
For all the people who are saying they did not like the graphics of WW, just remember this tidbit of information: TP was made on the same graphic program as WW, though modified. Cool huh? I believe WW is good for a leisure play through, and for when you need to smile or laugh (Link smacked into fortress walls makes me laugh so hard!). It is cute, and like the saying goes, "Never judge a book (or game) by it's cover (graphics)".
