The next Zelda - Which heroes and villains would you want?
- Thread starter tipoo
- Start date
I'm fine with Link returning. As for Zelda, I'd definitely make her playable. The villain should be someone new. Maybe it goes like this:
Games starts off with Link going through a dungeon and taking down guards, etc...
Confronts Zelda and has a battle against her.
He wins but both are exhausted.
Villain appears, admits to Zelda he has been manipulating her in various ways to oppose Link.
Villain then corrupts Link, makes him his right hand man and banishes Zelda from Hyrule.
Bam, Zelda's quest to save Hyrule starts from there.

Link playable as always.
Whatever villain they want, but the "suddenly Ganon" at the end twist sucks, build him up so I hate him.

I'm trying to find a way where what you said isn't offensive or rude in two basic ways and not having success. I mean seriously.

Midna is a very good character. Extremely good. Would be nice to see her in smash brothers, but Midna being in a Zelda game basically means a sequel to Twilight Princess...I don't think the Zelda cycle is ready for that yet.

Child/Teen link is the only real Link, Adult link can go rot in a fire.
I'm down for an Old Man Link though

Yep, gotta agree with that "suddenly Ganon" thing.
I'll pass on Old Man Link. lol
I want a new Link design. No more TP/SS/wannabe-OOT.
I want new armors/outfits for Link in different colors, like in A Link to the Past.
I think an Old Link would be cool. It'd be something new.
If Ganon is the villain, don't make his reveal be a 'surprise' halfway through the game like in TP.
It'd be awesome to see Termina again. Maybe then we could have Termina's parallel version of Ganandorf.

What if we get some sort of MGS2/DMC4 type thing where Link is playable but not the main focus, could be Zelda, or Link's child, or just some completely different person.

Ganondorf as the hero.
Don't care how.
Have him fight Majora or Fierce Deity or some lame eviler then evil thing.

Zelda's been on a kick of overly effeminate male villains with Ghirahim and Yuga.
Maybe the devs' proclivity for making villains with feminine characteristics should be directed toward making one that's actually a female. One that could wield those traits in a positive, natural way, rather than "hey look at the girlish traits this character has, aren't they creepy?"

Yeah, Yuga was a pretty weak villain overall...
(ALBW spoilers)
Not the weakest Zelda villain ever (that title will hopefully forever belong to Bellum), but yeah, pretty weak.

He was pretty much a poor-man's Ghirahim in an effeminate Ganondorf body at first. He merges with Ganon (turning himself into an enormous and hideous pigman, not sure what happened to his "everything must be beautiful" motivation), and then does nothing interesting with this fact. They had potential there to make him into a more tragic villain with his relationship with Hilda (who was a much more interesting villain than Yuga was), but it's dropped when he reveals he is just an evil guy who wants to rule the world or something at the last minute. Then he dies.
I still think it would have been better to have Ganon overtake Yuga in the end instead of Yuga betraying Hilda. Yuga felt like too weak of a character in comparison to Hilda to make an effective final boss, and Ganon at least has the weight of series history on his side. Plus I think that would have made Yuga a more interesting character in the end if he remained a faithful servant of Hilda who ends up losing his life due to her plan.
