What do you want in the next Zelda game /v/? Should they continue with the BotW/TotK style or do something different?
>>719591440>What do you want in the next Zelda gameWhatever isn't in it.
>>719591440It'll have to be good enough that I would want to buy a Switch 2 because nothing about it looks like a good deal right now. I did not like the open world style either because the mechanics didn't even feel like Zelda.
I sure hope its not open world
Effort
Can you imagine a wildly different Zelda artstyle after the BotW/TotK success?
>>719594247I think the art direction is fine. It's the least of my problems with the new games.
>>719591440I want something completely different but they don't care what I want, they only care about what sells. The next Zelda game is gonna be a fucking Roblox clone.
>>719591440i want a top down game but for it to have mechanics from botw and totk
>>719594785Go rape yourself lunatic
>>719591440they should make a game with dungeons and clever puzzles and natural progression and no stupid breakable weapons or crafting or minecraft building
>>719591440>What do you want in the next Zelda game /v/?Guns.
Let's face it.

>>719591440I want old temples back and weapons that aren't made of glass.
>>719591440If they're gonna keep having armor sets and lots of different weapons then I hope they lean more into the RPG features, give link some stats and potential builds. Maybe even party members like Dragon's Dogma.
I want a physics mechanic for a rope and pulley system. You can bring back the hookshot as a bow subtype along with crossbows. I don't mind durability but I want a crucible. A crucible will let me combine weapons and materials into new weapons with new perks. Also I want full campsites where you can set up a base like a checkpoint. I want cooking to be nerfed. On one hand you can only cook at camp or a kitchen. And food is restricted via food bag space. On the other hand food now gives long lasting buffs that last half a day like extra hearts, running speed, etc. Potions exist and are limited by bottles you have to wash. However potions are for more immediate effects. And now you have to eat and drink in real time by holding the item first before eating. Which means you want potions over food to heal in battles.
Nerfing food and drinks where you have to eat in real time would increase the difficulty of encounters. And it'll change how you want to engage combat since you can't face tank hits and gorge yourself on apples. You'll also have to learn how not to get hit. Which means there's reward in getting better at the game. Also bring back Ocarina's combat where your footwork determines how you swing. And this can be expanded to how certain weapons deal damage. A hammer swinging down will deal more damage than a side swing. Though a side swing is better at disabling shields. Also if you don't/can't hold a shield you should riposte with your weapon. And a correct riposte can parry lighter weapons or wound an approaching enemy.

>>719598896I thought about reforging the Master Sword as a plotline. You get the six sages to help you reforge the blade blessed by their maidens' prayers. Then you can strengthen the Master Sword via crucible to give it skills that make it the ultimate sword.
>>719591440Mix of old and new. For example, keep the ability to climb but be more strict about not allowing you to climb smoothed surfaces with no obvious place to plant your hands and feet, to make something like a hookshot viable. Keep the TOTK crafting system but maybe make dungeon items unique crafting materials (for example, the guts of a hookshot) that you can use to create unique variants of the classic items. Have 8 classic themed dungeons that organically block you from using your open world era abilities to break them. Keep the 100 mini dungeons idea but rework the upgrade system (and just nerf stamina across the board).
>What do you want in the next Zelda game /v/?For somebody else to develop it.>Should they continue with the BotW/TotK style or do something different?Honestly? It makes no difference to me.
>>719600895You lost and got raped;;, Eric
>>719594247Its tradition for the style to change. I can see them still leaning into a ghibli esque style while making it visually distinct from the Wild games. It will be very interesting to see what they come up with>>719595054love these ideas>can climb anything but gone is the glider beware of heightsI started a no glider run in TotK because you don't get it until you go to lookout landing. It really makes you consider your surroundings a lot more. Even just getting up and down from the depths or sky was a benig challenge. Would love that to be a big part of the next game.
>>719600984>benigbig lmao
>>7195914403D ALttP remake>hurr durr OoTNo
>>719591440A gacha zelda that rivals genshin impact.
I want a Oracle of seasons/ages remaster
>>719600984thanks, I just think it fits the core spirit of Ocarina of Time to bring back rolling! but if you're too high up that's not gonna save you lol, pay homage to the voidouts of the original game in an openworld now.
>>719601430I'm genuinely surprised they haven't made a gacha Zelda yet
>>719602164I just want horizontal and verticle slices and thrusts to matter in combat.
>>719591440as long as its a new world and a new link id be fine, im so sick of the wilds.
>>719591440>Should they continue with the BotW/TotK styleAlready confirmed to be happening.All we can do is hope that they've been taking notes the past ten years on how to improve on the style.>>719594247The Switch-original Zelda games have had my least favorite batch of art styles in quite some time. I'm more than ready for the big refresh.
>>719605832>Already confirmed to be happening.I can't wait to "explore" the same map again and find nothing but shrines made for lobotomized people. And the sword breaks in 10 hits.
>>719606052It was confirmed in 2023 that the Zelda team is completely out of ideas on how to squeeze more content out of BOTK and its world.You are an engagement farmer. That is the only explanation for not keeping up with the news on a series you allegedly care about.You may reply to me if you'd like, but I will not be reading.
>It was confirmed in 2023 that the Zelda team is completely out of ideasWell yes I'm well aware of that.
I'm so glad I held off on TotK until Switch 2, vros. Had the cushion of not playing BotW for a while, then the HD version of its successor drops in my lap. Amazing game.
>>719594247Would love to see a bit more SOVL and cartoony-ness, even. The palette of BOTW/TOTK feels quite "cold" as well, I would like it to be warmer and generally more interesting
I think I'll be okay with the same general map but expanded out a bit farther if it means the old map gets populated by civilization. I'd like to see rennaisaunce Hyrule where magic is reawakened and rediscovered but under tight control by the guilds.
