They attempted this ages ago with the first four swords game i dunno whether it went down a storm or not, but i don't think zelda games should REALLY be multiplayer, some aspects might work well, but then you always have the asshats who will screw the team up
NO GOD NO
I wouldn't mind optional multiplayer, but making it so I'd NEED other people to complete a Zelda game? Actually **** off. Hype train crashed.
Everyone, please calm down and relax! Aonuma and Shikata confirmed that there will be a single player mode, featuring "doll" like Links in place the other players.
Proof:
At 1:40, Shikata confirmed single player mode and that in instead the other players being there, there will be "doll-like characters".
Here is his quote:
Shikata: For single player, there are supporting doll like characters. There are two of them and you can beat a level by switching between Link and these two dolls.
So, there's the proof that there will be a single player. Thank God!
Anyways, one thing I've been wondering is, will this game be canon? Will it have a place in the timeline? If so, where? I'm thinking either the Adult timeline (A ST sequel maybe?), the Downfall timeline (ALBW sequel somehow?) or yet another new timeline. What do you people think?
Keep in mind that they said the game takes in a kingdom that is full of fashion savvy people, so there's likely chance the game may not set in Hyrule. Pehaps another place like Holodrum, Termina, or Labrynna? Or maybe even another dreamworld like Koholint Island (I think, judging by how this new world is described, I think this is more likely)?
So not only could it be a four swords spiritual successor, but maybe also even a spiritual sequel to LA!
Think about it, back in 2013, we had the spiritual sequel to ALttP, ALBW. This year, could we be getting the spiritual sequel to ALttP true direct sequel, LA?
The game could feature the same Link from ALBW but you can change his appearance to look other Link's from other games, as suggested so far, or make him look like you're own custom Link, also as suggested so far, as well dress him up as other characters like Princess Zelda, again, as seen in the footage. But his original default look could be ALBW Link since it will be the same Link, who somehow, like what happened with his ancestor, happens to get stuck in a dreamworld that he has to save from dangerous nightmares.
What do you think? Could any of these theories potentially work for this game?
