We all think of Zelda as an actio/adventure series now but back in the day there was a time when it was more like fantasy. I've been on a bit of a fantasy kick recently with playing, watching and reading anything that screams fantasy to me, and shockingly while on this kick i havent felt the need to play Zelda...
So the question is this- should Zelda become a bit more fantastical?
We have had Ss and WW, two games which kept true to having mythical creatures direct from fairy-tails like Dragons and friendly gods and fairies, and MM and MC ha their own degree of whimsy straight out of the fantasy genre, but were they enough? Is Zelda the stage to push the fantasy genre in gaming since no other game with any great gamer respect other than Zelda can really say that it is within the fantasy genre.
So, for example, would you like to see a Zelda game a little more like these while retaining its action/adventure mechanics?
