I'm not entirely opposed to guns being in zelda, but I am entirely opposed to link using them. There really isn't any practical way to do it in my opinion without A. Giving link a ridiculous weapon that replaces the sword and kills the feel of zelda or B. Making the gun so under powered it feels like a gimmicky nod to COD fans. That being said, I rather like the idea of a boss or mini boss using a very early flintlock. Maybe some pirate lord, or something. It'd be pretty cool to walk in expecting a regular fight, and then go Holy ****, he has a gun.
Do you ever want to see guns appear in The Legend of Zelda series?
I want to see guns appear in TLoZ for the sole reason that we were teased with a bunch of different cannons/bazookas within the game Twilight Princess, yet none of them were player items. I personally think the cannons and the bazookas were pulled off rather well (they looked good, too), all that's left is allowing Link to make use of them as inventory items!
If not, are there any other weapons, or combat styles you wouldn't mind seeing?
Weapons? Bring back that crossbow from Link's Crossbow Training. That looked AWESOME.
Combat styles? I'd love to see Link using different styles of the sword. There are many different ways to wield a sword, and it seems Link only utilizes one (that one, I do not know the name of). A fencer Link style would be quite awesome. A zweihander Link style would be even awesome-r. ETC ETC ETC. Not to mention a spellcaster Link, personally.
I would prefer zelda to stay without guns im happy with bows and hook/claw shots. What comes after guns a zelda rts or fps with nuclear weapons? is that the direction you want zelda to go?
I am against guns in zelda. if we actually put guns in the game, we will attract the Call of Duty type of fan to the series. in doing so, Nintendo may never return the sword and shield. the lack of guns in the series is one thing that makes The Legend of Zelda unique and interesting.
