"Zelda Ideas"

I know many were fond of Wind Waker and its bold move towards Cel-Shaded graphics, it seems that after that game we cried for something better something a bit more realistic in tone in the future and it seems we are getting that from what we have seen and heard.
We also wanted no more endless seas to sail on as well, we want many things corrected, which brings me to this- What would be needed for this new Zelda for it to topple Ocarina of Time?

I think for a start it should have an overworld, a large extended Hyrule field of some sort that is filled with surprises and abundant with things to do. The draw distance should be wonderful, we should be able to see where we want to go.... for miles- like a house miles in the distance and at night, with its windows shining out a feint light. We should see enemies all around, like wolves, moblins and so forth. And Nintendo should at least include the forest they showed at last years E3, it looked like a proper forest, with proper trees, it too should be brimmed full of things to do. And yeah, we should get lost.
How about a nice little fishing section similiar to the Ocarina of Time version but expanded upon and made better, I can fondly think back of the hours I spent in that one section of that game trying to find a better lure, then only spending further hours just to catch the Hyrulian Loach!- Wind Waker and Majorahs Mask lacked this.
And we should have an Orchestra instead of Midi for the music, imagine if they done that?!
And what of the Name for the game? I've heard "Gates of the Realm" hoax being threw around the net many times over including this wonderful hoax of a box: [URL]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/ussj99gotenks/zboxes2goldjpeg0ph.jpg[/URL] but im sure the eventual name will stick, as has the others so it isn't that important. But I do think they SHOULD NOT have voice acting, I don't think the series is ready for it and I think it would spoil the overall enjoyment, perhaps the odd voice yes-but not on the scale of Final Fantasy X or Shenmue.
Am I asking for much? I think Nintendo will address a few I have mentioned, atleast I hope, but I know that if I myself was to sit down and give them a proper detailed list of what to have, they would cancel it for Gamecube altogether and have it for Revolution.

It took me a long time, but, i found all 100 on the n64 original. But, does any1 have any proof of where the last heart piece is?

I've got the one from near the river with the Blue-Tektite!

for this would certain feats be more effective against different types of enemies? like pokemon? therefor would you be instructed to go wher you see fit? so dugeons can be done in different orders.

Yeah. That's it.

Like, go to Upgrade Shop #1 and you can choose fire or water upgrade

Choose water upgrade

Upgrade Shop #2 you can choose teh lightning or earth upgrade.

That means after upgrade 2, you can have the fire/earth sword, teh fire/lightning sword the water/lightning sword (very effective) or teh water/earth sword

etc

And it continues like that.
That way you can play it through several times a completely different way.

Along with the Fishing section, Beat the Running Man section and the fishing section I thought the Gold Skulltullas were unbelievably addictive.
It was an area in the game that you could acess at any time, maybe sometimes you found the Skulltullas by accident and some were just plain hard to find, you could hear them but you couldnt see them!
I think they should bring something similiar back, it doesnt require you to find them, you had a choice, just like the fishing. Thats what made OoT wonderful.

No, not at all.

Munn is saying that you decide which upgrade options to take, for example:

You start off with a Fairy Sword (For example).

First Upgrade Choices- Fire Sword, Water Sword and Wind Sword (Again, for example).

Secon Upgrade Choices- If you chose the Fire Sword, upgrade to the Lava Sword, Pyrocrastic Flow Sword (:D) etc, if you chose the Water sword, choose from the Aqua Sword, etc, and so on.

In Metroid Prime, you only get to acquire weapons as chosen by the plot, you HAVE to acquire the light beam, for example.

See?

Read it. No more gold skullatas I tell you. No more. Ever!

Or, Ninty could put in 200 Gold Skulltulas. Or some Gold Skulltulas,

Just as long as they're spread across the land.

Kinda like Metroid Prime where you are always getting improvements to the rifle?
