Future weapons!!

[God Of Lightning]

I was wondering, what items/weapons should be made into the next zelda game. I was thinking maybe an item that makes certain monsters your allies!

[Dark link]

Well princess twilight did something different with combining items such as the bow and bombs, maybe we'll see that in the new wii game with different items, like maybe a lantern and bow/arrow would combine into a fire arrow? I would have liked to see that in princess.

[linkman8]

Maybe some day they'll make magic a weapon in the game. Not in the form of fire arrows, ice arrows, and the like, but in the form of actual light rays or ice clouds, etc fired from your hand. Just an idea.

[Dark link]

Then wouldn't it be too easy to kill enemies, it'll just be like what happened with phantom hourglass and the hammer, hammer kills everything in that game except bellum,which i thought it made getting everything else easy to get, such as spirit gems and ship parts

[linkman8]

Well they'd obviously have to tweak the magic powers so they weren't all-powerful or make it so the enemies aren't all that vulnerable to them, and whatnot. It's not like they'd be like a cheat code, they'd have limitations.

[Dark link]

Well if thats true maybe they could make it so it uses up a lot of magic each time u do it so then it could be strong without being godly.

Have you not played Adventure of Link nor A Link to the Past? AoL had several spells that harmed enemies and ALttP had Bombos, Quake, and Ether.

Edit : And huh...Dins Fire could harm enemies Oo

[Dark link]

Din's fire wasn't really worth using...I saved my magic for naryu and light arrows.

[linkman8]

I never finished AoL, and yes, I have played ALTTP. The Bombos, Quake, and Ethers aren't like what I was talking about. Just think: Link being able to fire fireballs or lightning rays at a single opponent in 3D. I think it would be cool.

[Caleb]

I think it would be cool for Link to actually use the Triforce of Courage in the form of magic... for once...

I mean, I don't see Ganondorf or Zelda running around trying to get items to make themselves better (other than Ganondorf getting the Trident of Power [Four Swords Adv. & A Link To The Past]).

[Avenged]

Yeah he should be able to...Hopefully we'll see something along those lines in the next Zelda...I know SSMB has Link using the triforce as attacks..hmm

[linkman8]

Yeah, that's another thing I never really understood. Ganondorf can use the Triforce of Power to turn into Ganon, the giant pig, while Link can't really use his Triforce of Courage. I mean, the Triforce of Courage should have some powers at least.

[Dark link]

the only power that i see the triforce of courage having is well, none, i think it's more of a symbol of the gods deeming link worthy of the master sword or worthy of obtaining the master sword's true power.

[Mases]

The Triforce of Courage, gives Link courage..?

Maybe since he has the triforce peace, he is able to go about his quest, gather items, equiptment, and fight off all the differet monsters. Maybe if he never had his triforice piece, he would just be a wimp who was scared. That wouldn't be much of a video game now would it.

Imagine if they made a modern day Zelda game. Well, modern being like, taking place in the real world from like 250 years ago. Link being able to use a pistol or musket, haha. I think if anything could ruin the Zelda series, this would be it.

I'd like to see my magic of some sorts with any of the various elements that you seen in other fantasy adventures. Like in previous games with the fire rod or ice rod. How about some sort of water or lightening attack. Maybe this is too pokemon-ish, but we should give Link some Psychic powers, hehe. I'm sure they could implement a bit more magic and use it creatively.

[linkman8]

Hm.. Psychic powers... I've got it! Implement them into the game in the same form as they were in the game called "Second Sight", where you can use telekinesis, psy blasts, posession, etc. It could be interesting.

[Avenged]

Ok, but Link doesnt alwys have the triforce of Courage...in LoZ he doesnt. In AoL he doesnt till the end, ALttP, not till the end, OoT, after wielding the Master Sword, MM he does, TP he does, TWW he doesnt till near the end...and well you get my point....

[zeypherlink]

I think Link should be able to get a Sythe...A Crossbow would also be cool aswell.

[Kybyrian]

Find a <insert fancy magic item name here> and be able to knock enemies aside, doing damage, at the cost of magic. With it also being able to move certain blocks.

[Brooklyn]

Hopefully the magic meter will return. And I think The game's name will include a rod that can use the elements. Probably a DS game I can't see this as a Wii/Gc Game. With each temple you can it's attribute, Ice, Earth, Water, etc. They might come up with something like this.

Also when the ball and Chain was introduced first thing came to mind, Medevil. So it'd be cool to add an axe..

[Kybyrian]

I'd like to see the magic meter return too. It was always fun to use magical attacks.

[Alder Dragon]

Turn enemies into allies? Like the psychosis gun from Perfect Dark? That would be interesting but I don't think it would be useful. And something being interesting alone without being useful is worthless.

Like Caleb said, I'd like to see Link using forms of magic again, especially via the Triforce of Courage. I think Magic in Zelda could go a long way.

[Avenged]

Link transforming and futuristic weapons is total FAIL. I just like seeing the reoccurances of weapons, with a few new ones introduced in each game.

[Dabombster]

I agree. The classics are the best. Maybe some spells like in AoL being brought back, but nothing much more.

[linkman8]

Agreed that the classics are probably the best, but I'm generally willing to accept new weapons. I mean, look at TP, they had some new, generally creative weapons, and they did a good job.

[firebunnies123]

magic is good, but link isn't a wizard. He could use some stuff like a magic meter, but fireballs from his hands. Thats just killng it. An axe would be a smart idea. A medival weapon maybe to cut through giant plants...It would be cool just to pick up random stuff lying around. You can still have ur selection, but other things too.

[Avenged]

Link may not be a wizard, but he is hylian. Hylians are known for their magic wielding skills. Games like 'The Adventure of Link' and 'A Link to the Past' proves this.

[Majora]

TP gave me a small idea for it. Maybe there could be an item where you could use it on most enemies, and you would start controlling the enemy at the cost of your magic meter. Of course, it wouldn't work on LoZ monsters like Gohma, just ones that you can find in the field or commonly in a dungeon.

[Ganonflakes]

Well...
Since it's roumoured to be set in the future (although I hope not), you could have a Nuclear bomb strike!:lol:

[Mike Pothier]

Eh. When it comes to a new Zelda game, its the exploration I look forward to more then new weapons. As long as I get my sword, bow and shield, I'm usually good.

Perhaps using the hookshot to disarm your opponent, kinda like Metroid Prime 3? That would be a pretty cool way of reusing it.

[linkman8]

Or take that farther and make Link able to use enemies' weapons, kind of like in WW, but more so. Like in an Elder Scrolls kind of way. (Yes, I refer to that a lot. :) )

[Avenged]

What I'd to see more of in the future is upgrades. Ever since ALttP and LA, we havnt had much variety of upgrades. Yeah we've had the seed holder upgrade (for slingshots and deku nuts), bombs, and arrows. Aside from the bombs and arrow upgrades, who cares. What needs to return is upgraded weapons. Like the magic boomerang, golden tempered master sword, silver arrow (yes theres the light arrow, but I dont recall if it actually placed more damage on regular enemies). Not saying those exact weapons should return, just the idea of the thing.

Just think, a 3D Zelda game with actual vilages throughout Hyrule that contain blacksmiths and such. MM did have the one blacksmith and gave the swords you had quite more variety...But I think it'd be pretty sweet to have several blacksmiths and inventory shops as if it truly were an RPG game.

[El Bagu]

I never finished AoL, and yes, I have played ALTTP. The Bombos, Quake, and Ethers aren't like what I was talking about. Just think: Link being able to fire fireballs or lightning rays at a single opponent in 3D. I think it would be cool.

Lightning rays would be really cool!! But I do not wanna see some kind of lazers. Medievel weapons in different varieties would also be nice :)

[blackice_cc]

Well I think that in the case of medieval weapons, Link should be able to use a spear. I think an ax would be a lot like the sword already is(maybe a bit stronger and slower) but a spear would be completely different. I liked how in TP the ball and chain was totally new. If nintendo was creative enough with the items in new games, that would make them a little better. Oh yes, and magic should definitely be used to a higher extent than it ever has before.

[Thewindmaker]

I personally thought the Ball and Chain in TP was really corny. I dunno Link throwing a ball around his head which is like 5 times his weight seems a little to far fetched.

I think more moves like Dins fire should be invented... personally.

As well I wouldn't mind seeing upgrades, like avenged said.

The only problem with putting in alot of weapons, which might not have alot of significance is that all of the zelda games have had a certain way of using the weapons.

If you get a weapon in a temple, then you know that you have to use that weapon to defeat the boss for that temple. As well as to solve most of the puzzles which come after finding the weapon. (OOT really follows this to a tea).

I think that adding perhaps more horses to the game would be cool. And perhaps using the different races as allies in battle. maybe calling upon the Zoras in the ocean to help you defeat enemies, and gorons of course.

OMFG they should make a zelda RTS

[mastersword18]

I'd like to see the magnetic gloves make a comeback. It would also be really cool if the dominion rod could be used to control the environment or even other enemies(except bosses of course) Link should also get a magic staff that can cast magic spells.

[Kybyrian]

Some things that involve magic and the magic meter once again.

[LoZfan]

i dunno mush about the magnet gloves (haven't played 4sword yet)
however since OoT i always thought the Iron knuckles were a type of war machine. perhaps if nintento wanted to they could make said enemies into automatons

[kpllk]

SWORDS!! there should be a game like MM but instead of collecting masks you collect different swords.

[zeldusfanaticus]

how about a spell to summon the spirit of an enemy you defeated, like in Fable

and maybe some more transformations; you actually could be a moblin octorock, or subrosian in OoS/OoA by collecting the rings

RINGS. They are small and could be a great item in a 3-D zelda

[mastersword18]

I think link should get a spear, he could throuw it or stab enemies at a range. No what would be even cooler is if Link had two swords insterad of just one! Just think, Gannondorf used the triforce of power to split the master sword in half making two mini-blades instead of one! It would be so sweet if u could do that!
