ESRB Reveals Possible Zelda MMO
- Thread starter vansau
- Start date
I doubt this MMO will allow players to be some Link wannabe after all you can't be the chosen one if there are a million other chosen one.
Hmmmm...a Zelda MMO would probably be pretty bad.
For the 25th Anniversary they need to make all past Zelda games available od WiiWare, DSiware (and its 3ds equivalent), and they should make a special Zelda edition 3DS bundle (I would buy it despite my lack of a true desire to buy a 3DS). Oh, and releasing Skyward Sword by the end of summer would be sweet, too.
(Really, though, I just want to be able to download Wind Waker on my Wii, because I never played it.)

Hmmm, if it is I called it, but I'll also feel bad... just read this--> http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.282079-Idea-for-a-Zelda-MMORPG#11055328
EXACTLY! Dear lord, when I heard the words "Zelda Universe" and "25th Anniversary" that was the first and only thing that popped into my head.aeroblaster said:Why does everyone think MMO when they hear Zelda Universe? The first thing I thought of was a collection of all the games, but then realizing that would be weird for a 25th anniversary thing, I think Nintendo is finally going to tell us the timeline!
This is exactly my reaction!ZeroMachine said:
Seriously, I have to be Link for it to be fun. Actually I have to be Link for it to be a Zelda game. But no one is going to get to or that would be silly. Therefore, it will not really be a Zelda game. It will just be another MMO which happens to look like a Zelda game, but instead, just bastardizes the IP.
I'm not particularly a fan of the franchise, but I'm a huge fan of Link to the Past and Wind Waker. That being said, I don't feel this effecting me that much.
THAT being said, just from a gamers standpoint, how in the hell would a Zelda MMO work in the first place? Sure, the world and history are rich and deserve to be explored, but the main gameplay of the series is solving clever puzzles in various temples. How do you expand that to MMO territory?

If they do, I predict bad things for it. I don't think MMO is the best format for a Zelda game. (Yet I'll still wind up playing it. Damn my inability to resist you Nintendo!).

Why is it that suddendly everyone's going wild about something as ridiculous as a "Zelda MMO"?
It could be another compilation in the vein of Super Mario All-Stars that got released last year, hasn't anyone thought about that yet?.
*EDIT: Damn, someone already did. But my point still stands.

I didn't think about that. Good point! It makes me think about weapons too. MMO's are all about getting bigger and better weapons and armor, but how do you do that with Zelda and still have it be a Zelda game? One of the hallmarks of a Zelda game is the weapons. They are always the same ones. I wonder how you would resolve that for MMORPGers and still maintain the Zelda-ness of the whole thing?ChildofGallifrey said:
Oh this is silly. As several people pointed out above, it's likely the website. If it wasn't the website my first guess certainly wouldn't be a MMO. It's far more likely to be another zelda game collection simular to what they did back on the gamecube. In that case the online could refer to an online enabled version of Four Swords Adventure, which I now want more than anything.
But why get rid of a character that has so many fans? Besides, it's not the same character (except for Majora's Mask), it's a different reincarnation each time. It factors into the lore behind the triforce, and since I like Zelda lore...Braedan said:
For the record, I'm only counting console games.
Absolutely this. They have the possibility to cash-in on something that would be awesome and great like a Pokemon MMO, and they choose The Legend of Zelda.ZeroMachine said:
Story of the games doesn't allow for a nondescript random person to fight an become a hero, or great warrior, because the story is about Link, because he is the only person to save the day because he has a piece of the Tri-force.
Pokemon is perfect because the stories are nondescript by nature so the random person can be the one that becomes the great hero or master of Pokemon. If Nintendo could ever get into the PC realm properly, it would be with this, because I would want to experience the MMO on a computer so I have a line internet connection instead of that stupid Wi-fi that barely works for the game here in the US.
Zelda MMO, no.
Pokemon, yes!
NO! Princess Zelda is MINE! The rest of you pretenders CANNOT HAVE HER!
Fantasy love interest--and jealousy--aside, how would this work? You can't have a bunch of Links running around to save one princess, and as we've seen from the video games, being a guard sucks. What if the game is a mash up of all previous Zelda titles? Timeline (or universe depending on how you feel about the games) hopping would be interesting to say the least, and I think it sounds more appealing that a MMO game.
