I actually talked with my cousin today about how nobody wants a Zelda MMO. Just goes to show how much the universe truly hates me.
ESRB Reveals Possible Zelda MMO

Personally, I love this idea. Zelda is the only "world" that I think is mysterious and expansive enough after so many iterations that I'd actually want to explore it. It does giant boss battles better than any other game I can think of and in fact practically started the whole giant boss battle thing.
Imagine that with multiple party members. Having a Zelda game that doesn't actually include Zelda and link for a change, and in fact to be able to play it with others would be amazing imo.
Why do people want multiplayer Shadow of the Colossus, yet don't see the potential in this? Is it just because it's Zelda? I think Nintendo is just crazy enough to pull that off if this isn't just crazy guessing.

To be fair, i don't think you can't make a great game like that. I'm just saying it won't be Zelda then in my eyes.Mr.Mattress said:
There isn't nearly enough information here to even suggest a Zelda MMO, I'd place my bets on a collection of past games.
Also scanning through all the posts people don't seem very keen on the idea, I think it would be petty cool if they did it right. There can be no link! so why not set it either before Ocarina of Time in the civil war over who gets the Tri-force or even better after OoT when Ganondorfs back and theres no link to stop him so they flood Hyrule (pre-lude to Windwaker)

If nintendo missteps then it missteps. Why do people moan and groan and give it a chance before bitching about it?
"Zelda Universe"
Hm... with any luck they're throwing together some massive game that'll string together the canon old ones and finally make some sense outta the storyline.
I just can't bring myself to believe it's actually an MMO. I can't imagine anyone in the gaming community thinks that's a good idea.

Speaking as someone whose favorite game of all time is in this series, I have to ask why?
I can't believe that anyone who's a big fan of this series would want it going online. Certainly I'd like a change to come about in the series but not if this is the result.

What now? Is this for real? I don't know about this... A Zelda MMO doesn't make any sense in my mind. I mean, the entire point of the Zelda games is to run around gathering items to help you solve puzzles that allow you to gather gems or pearls or treasures, etc. Would that be what the game would be about? Are there going to be puzzle raids? Is the Master Sword going to be a legendary item? For that matter, are we all going to be Links? Or are we going to be the equivalent of NPC's that follow Link around while Link is the NPC that... leads the story? Like I said... this makes no sense to me.
Seriously, why not title this artice "a rumor about a rumor rumoring around".
I know, there wouldn't be enough stuff if you would only rely on official/confirmed information, though journalism includes proper investigation like: what is the information about, where does it come from, even if they won't confirm it, what are the involved parties saying about it e.g..
THIS is BAD journalism.

I don't get all the hate on this idea. Nintendo's new console is rumored to focus on group play like the Wii did but in a private, almost 'glued to a cell phone checking face book' kind of way (thats the idea I can see behind the new controllers with the built in screens). With a Zelda MMO game ESRB rating E for EVERYONE so I can guarantee this is not going to have any current online MMO strategy that pairs you up with smack talking 12 year olds.
I'm thinking Animal Crossing meets Ocarina of Time. Meaning, each person who joins the game has their own Hyrule, their own sandbox world where they complete their Zelda quests and maps but can also visit other Zelda Planets in the Zelda Universe (E.G your best friends Zelda world) and see what kind of progress they've made, share/trade items you've collected, help with missions or even complete 2/4 player missions together (ala' LittleBigPlanet).
I really wish everyone wouldn't just jump on the rage train and go on and on about having childhood memories raped from them and discuss where they imagine the franchise can go from here. This is Nintendo we're talking about here. Its not like Xbox 360 is releasing this on xbox live with monthly map updates, Nintendo always has their unique (sometimes flawed) approach to online multi player so I imagine this is going to be new, interesting and hopefully a non-flawed approach to the MMO.
