More than one companion

[Spirit]

More than one insufferable companion?! Never!

Well... i think it could be a good way out for the companion haters out there.

I remember in Phantom Hourglass, by game's end we had three different fairies guiding us through the game. But what about a game where companions come and go?

I remember a wonderful game called Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon on the wii, and in that game we meet and travel with 3 companions at different parts of the game, they helped forward the plot and with each passing and meeting the game felt fresh, it was a new character to get to know with new abilities and new connections to the world.

What would you think about a Zelda game doign this, for example having Fi for the first 3 dungeons, then meeting Midna for a handful more then moving on to one last companion before games end?

Do you think it'd be something that could work and would it be somthing you'd like to see?

I wouldn't mind having more than one companion if they are done well.

I actually don't like the idea of companions, so if they get switched out or have the same one for the whole game makes no difference to me.

 

[Beauts]

I wouldn't mind if companions came and went but having more than one all the way through would get super annoying, it's part of the reason Phantom Hourglass didn't feel right to me tbh

I would actually like Link to have a party of sorts. Companions to help him fight and solve puzzles, and so on. Adventures are always more fun with more people. I love party systems in games, and pretty much any game I play that has one I always have someone along with me. It'd be really awesome to see something like that in a Zelda game.

 

[SpiteChaotic]

I want two companions at once and watch them bicker. With link looking exasperated and giving out a sigh. Fun times.

 

[linkypete]

What if there was a choice-based zelda game where there are two companions, and they both have different opinions that the player has to decide between?

 

[Djinn]

Maybe if they get into an argument with each other

"Hey"

"Hey"

"Listen"

"No, listen to me"

"Hey, shutup!"

"Noyou!"

"I swear to god.."

"Listen to me"

"No me!"

"gfjkhgk"

That might make the random annoyance all worth it if they fight, for reals.

 

[linkypete]

Imagine Navi and Tatl in an argument... or Navi and Midna... or Navi and Ezlo... or Navi and every companion that is easily annoyed.

 

[snakeoiltanker]

no way no how, One is annoying enough to deal with!

 

[Pen]

I think that as long as they're not annoying it would be pretty cool. Something I'd really like to see is having two companions, one being very serious and can give you information about stuff, while the other is the comic relief but not in an annoying way. If Nintendo could manage to pull this off in a good way I'd be very happy. ^^

Imagine Navi and Tatl in an argument... or Navi and Midna... or Navi and Ezlo... or Navi and every companion that is easily annoyed.

That would be hilarious! Someone should make a video about that!

Anyways, on topic, yes, I do think Zelda games can have more than one companion as long as it's done right.

I would actually like Link to have a party of sorts. Companions to help him fight and solve puzzles, and so on. Adventures are always more fun with more people. I love party systems in games, and pretty much any game I play that has one I always have someone along with me. It'd be really awesome to see something like that in a Zelda game.

I love this idea! It'll be like Final Fantasy, Bravely Default, and Kingdom Hearts, only with Zelda characters! I've loved this idea since I was a kid! I once tried to make Zelda x Final Fantasy crossover fan-games with a program called RPG Maker.

Dude, you are awesome!

I agree. I wouldn't even mind if there was no companion in the next game but I doubt that would happen.

Choosing from different companions would be pretty interesting if it really did lead to a different game experience. In Star Ocean The Second Story, you experienced the same general story but with slighty different views and characters depending on which main character you choose. Not companions, but the point is that it wasn't two completely different games but the same game from different perspectives.

If you have two of them, there could be some interesting story or dialogue opportunities to enrich the story or characters.
