Quick thing I wanna say: You never know with a Zelda game. Ever. Kay? Kay. Besides, Link and Zelda always wear those clothes. They're iconic to the Zelda series. And to me, it really did look steampunk.

I'd probobly do the following.
1. I would make Ganadorf Links childhood friend (making him look less evil so the player can relate). (You can even play Gannon in some levels)
However, considering Gannon is the bad guy, if he was Link's childhood friend who ended up as the bad guy, well, that is so cliche in that its been done many other places many a time before. So I think Zelda is 'original' in that it stays away from that.
Nate (post: 1301620) wrote:Boss fights in the new Zelda games are hideous. They follow the same pattern. Use dungeon item, attack, wait, use dungeon item, attack, wait, so on. I'm tired of getting a dungeon treasure and going "Well guess I need this to beat the boss!" Some might say "ALL ZELDA GAMES DO THAT." No, they don't. Let's take, for example, my favorite Zelda game. Link to the Past.
1. Armos Knights (dungeon treasure: Bow) - Yes, but only for the red one, the blue ones can be beaten without it.
2. Lanmolas (dungeon treasure: Power Glove) - Nope
3. Moldorm (dungeon treasure: Moon Pearl) - Nope
4. Helmasaur King (dungeon treasure: Magic Hammer) - You can use bombs to destroy his helmet too, so no
5. Arrghus (dungeon treasure: Hookshot) Yes
6. Mothula (dungeon treasure: Fire Rod) - It helps, but not necessary, so no
7. Blind (dungeon treasure: Titan Mitt) - No
8. Kholdstare (dungeon treasure: Blue Mail) - No
9. Vitreous (dungeon treasure: Cane of Somaria) - No
10. Trinexx (dungeon treasure: Mirror Shield) - No
Not including Agahnim at Hyrule Castle (there is no dungeon treasure in that level) or the rematch against him at Ganon's Tower (which the dungeon treasure is the Red Mail).
So tell me. How many bosses in that list used the dungeon item to fight the boss? TWO. Out of ten that REQUIRE the item, and a couple where it's helpful but unnecessary.
Using the dungeon item to fight the boss is lazy, lazy, LAZY game design. There is zero excuse for it, the only reason we allow Nintendo to get away with it is because it's Nintendo.
So until they can get back to unique ideas and not lazy dungeon and boss design, I have no interest in purchasing another Zelda game.
Also, I heard that temple was a load of crap in a hat.
Yeah... you're too young to remeber this but... someone bleached Links hair and turned him into Adolf Hitler's dream-child somewhere along the way and.... well... Zelda was able to really kick some butt there for a while...
Somewheres along the line she became a submissive little princess with a flat existance and no reason for link to actually like her other then looks . Of course in the first Zelda games they had an excuse (lack of power in the system)... but now. No excuse. I heard the latest Zelda was a pirate though... so I guess that would be a step forward for Nintendo over Cooking Mamma.

Please to not treat me like tiny child? I know what he and Zelda looked and acted like before. And guess what... this may come as a shock but... I actually LIKE it! Most people follow the rule of "They changed it, now it sucks." but I on the other hand, wonder of wonders, am excited about the change! I want to see where they can take the series and I also don't want this place to become a whole list of people saying "I could do better" even with examples. If you want to make examples I'll make a thread for that exact purpose.
