That's all that WW missed - A sense of urgency and importance to your mission. I think they do need some kind of catastrophic battle in the next game. I also want to see a section where a tiny village has been ransacked by enemy troops and villagers kidnapped on horseback, and you must chase after and rescue each one withthe power of sword and grappling hook!

I think it might be a prequel to TWW just because the horse looks like it's Epona. The main character appears to be the Hero of Time, all grown up (on his own). Looks like there's a war going on/about to occur, which would explain the sudden chain mail. No master sword as well, but there is the Hylian Shield. Then there was the whole bit of "or will darkness reign?" or something like that. Just leads me to believe we might see how the events leading up to The Wind Waker actually happened.
A prequel to Ocarina of Time could have so many more possibilities and be so much cooler though...

This scenario is awesome! It wouldn't be that hard to implement if you have the hookshot auto-aim for you. All you'd need to do is time the shooting of it.

whenever i feel like an idiot for paying attention to the story details of mgs or halo, i remind myself that there are people who try to reconcile the paltry and mutually contradictory events of the various zelda games into a consistent timeline. it makes me feel better about myself and worse about humanity. which is a trade i'll take every time.

Ever since Aonuma joined in in 1998, they've been trying to connect the series... desperately.
Here's the timeline that I and some others follow:
OoT ---> MM ---> TWW ---> ALttP ---> Zelda 2
I count ALttP as a sort of retelling of LoZ. If not, people often switch Zelda 2 and ALttP as the final games in the series. I think Zelda 2 is the final one
because Link FINALLY gets the girl. It's the happy ending to the series, with all loose ends tied up regarding Ganon.
Link's Awakening fits in there, somewhere. Probably somewhere around ALttP.
OoS and OoA are probably not included, but lean towards being in the OoT days (after MM).
Four Swords is a series of its own. Four Swords ---> Four Swords Adventures ---> The Minish Cap.
There are a couple things that could connect to Zelda 2 through the OoT universe if a prequel is made to OoT. Would pretty much provide a solid backbone for the story of the series. I'd like to see this most.

Well I like to use my imagination and try to fit the pieces together, and predict what will happen next. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, no matter what the game (unless it's one like Tetris or Super Mario Bros).

What I would love to see in the next Zelda is a fresh story, A similar story has been used in a few to many Zelda games.

Including the removal of the bad reversal system that WW had, made the game too easy.
I really hope this isnt just OOT, MM,WW with better graphics.

Me neither. Though, it could be "more of the same" while just improving on everything in general though. GTA VC felt more like a clone of GTA III to me, but San Andreas improved greatly upon the last two with better characters, a more engaging story (not that it was ever the most important part of the game), more vehicles to steal, just one huge noticeable load time, and many different locales.

I just started playing KOTOR and the voice acting is gold! Granted Zelda is less text based and story intensive but in comparison to some of todays AAA titles I would say it needs voice acting.
Anyway they may have already decided to implement it, any news saying there is no voice acting?

Voice acting would be tough and even at best it probably wouldnt add much at all. Even the best games dont sound quite so natural or it gets annoying. Zelda is a game where you skip the text as soon as you read it. I dont think its important.
true. The combat does look interesting. On horse battles for example.

Go play baldurs gate 1 & 2
KOTOR has great voice acting; the game would struggle if it was purely text based!
I could see the controversy if you voiced link, then you'd be defining his character, something the other recent zeldas have avoided, it lets the player think Link is who they want him to be. But the other characters are meant to be defined. In this generation theres no "makes the game better" excuse for not voicing everyone but Link.
I also doubt it will be added, but i think it would be a good way to move the games storytelling forward.

Yeah really, thats why i found myself reading faster than waiting for them to finish. Many of the npc's were painful and the voice acting added alot of time. Thankfully you could just read and skip.
I can see advantges for adding voice to the story purposes but as a whole game, no.

Action games are better however as you can clearly hear them and instructions are ussualy straight forward and clear. With RPG's and Adventure games you need the text.
Metroid Prime would be better off with voice acting(so little anyway but i am sure the Luminoth could have gained) but Zelda not so.

OMFG!!
How can you say all RPGs and adventure games have bad voice acting when you have not played the pinnacle of RPG gaming?
Sorry but I am struggling to understand how someone that visits GAF could not be interest in the greatest game ever made?
Please tell me why they dont interest you?

Miyamoto said ALTTP comes after Zelda 2. In Japan, there is no confusion. Legend of Zelda, Adventure of Link, and Triforce of the Gods (ALTTP in US) are known as the Triforce Trilogy and are in that order both in terms of release date and story timeline. Triforce of the Gods name was changed because at the time NOA was in its censorship mode and didn't want the word "God" in their titles. I think this timeline makes more sense because
Ganon still looms large at the end of Zelda 2 whereas there is actually closure in ALTTP (Ganon is dead, Dark World goes back to being the Golden Land, peace returns to Hyrule, etc.)

I forgive you for not playing the BG saga only because I like youre avatar.
But trust me the 600+ baldurs gate hour saga has the finest voice acting I have ever heard!

I dont have a clue about Online RPGs; I have a P3 laptop so I dont play many PC games. But my old P2 Chugged out BG and BG2.
The only warning I would give you about Playing BG1 is it only supports 640 X 400 resolution. You may to skip it and start with BG2 or use a mod to played BG1 with the BG2 engine (it does destroy the games balance).
