What do I want in a Wii U Zelda game? Get ready cause this is going to be a long list...
(1) Amazing graphics. Recently I played Assassin's Creed 3 and was absolutely blown away by how real the world looked! The characters' faces looked so real and I was so impressed by what can be achieved on video games now! I definitely think the Legend of Zelda could pull off a realistic style, and it would look INCREDIBLE!
(2) A great story. Not a typical, predictable story, but something different. Something epic with lots of unexpected twists and turns. I want very thorough character development, (particularly for Link and Zelda), because that really makes you form an attachment to them and really get into the story. Link doesn't have to talk. I wouldn't mind if he did..but I'm assuming that's not going to happen
However, even if he remains our silent hero, his emotions can still be shown clearly, (as we saw in Skyward Sword), and I liked being able to choose dialogue options from time to time! So I guess that's my third thing on the list...
(3) RPG elements. I think the option for the player to make their own choices always adds something to a game.
(4) I want a VERY LARGE world that can truly be explored! Not like Skyward Sword..where everything, (except for the sky), felt very confined and like you were forced to go a certain direction. I want a world like Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess--very open and explorable. Heck, I wouldn't mind if it was twice as big as Twilight Princess!
(5) I want the next game to be STORY DRIVEN. Not driven by side quests..but by the MAIN STORY. I like side quests, sure, but they definitely should not dominate play time. Most of the developers effort should be spent on the main story of the game. (Have I repeated myself enough yet?) What I have always remembered the most about Zelda games were their engaging, magical, intense stories! And I don't want that to ever go away. Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Skyward Sword are my favorite games, and I absolutely loved their storylines! Also, Link and Zelda's relationship in Skyward Sword was by far the best to me. It actually REALLY made you want to rescue Zelda and she wasn't just some random princess that you didn't even really know! Anyway..I've rambled on long enough. So yeah, this is what I want in the next Zelda game for the Wii U.
