What would you like to see in a Zelda fan game?

If it's a fan game, I'd expect nothing less than the darkest, craziest, most in-depth story the franchise has ever seen.

 

As far as things I'd like to see... an entirely new roster of items would be cool, though difficult to make. And I'd like it to be as sidequest heavy as it is main plot heavy. A side quest on the scale of Kafei/Anju or bigger would be welcome as well. And it would be great if it didn't take place in Hyrule or anywhere else we've seen so far. And of course, it'd be nice to change the normal gameplay up a little bit. Hopping from dungeon to dungeon gets a little stale. Gets me thinking.... what if someone made a dungeon-less mod? o_O

Holy Christ, can we stop bringing up URA now?

I love all the thoughts so far!

I have to agree with you guys in that Twilight Princess has a style with huge potential, that never quite worked out in my opinion. I've always felt that side quests in Zelda (excluding Majoras Mask) have been very bland and uninteresting and would love to see more involvement with them. Dungeonless... That would be a very strange, yet very cool concept for a Zelda game if pulled off well.

Sorry to bump, but a project with a prompt like this would be AMAZING to see:

*Opening OOT-like Scene with Link sleeping on a bed seen from an overhead view*
"...This legend begins with a boy who saved the world... Who saved it twice, from an evil king and a meteoric moon. This boy is also a great friend, he befriended another boy who was depressed and had no friends. The heroic boy told his friend about his "long-lost partner" and the two decided to set out through the world searching for the partner of that boy. Little did the friends know, they would become true brothers and face the hardest challenges of their lives side by side." Link immediately wakes up as Skull Kid breaks into his room. "Link! You won't believe this! You won't believe this!" Link stands up, surprised. "Link... I think I found Hyrule! If we're gonna find that friend of yours, might as well start from the bottom, right? Come on! I'll show you!" Skull Kid runs outside the room, as Link follows him outside. The treehouse of Link and Skull Kid is located deep among the Lost Woods, between the borders of Hyrule and Termina. Epona is at the bottom, eating some grass near the tree. When Link and Skull Kid climb to the top of the tree, Skull Kid points North. "There! Isn't that Death Mountain? You can also see a big blue spec! That must be Lake Hylia! We should make haste right away!" Link and Skull Kid then rush down to their room, getting their belongings. Such as Link's Kokiri Sword and Deku Shield. They both jump on Epona and proceed forward. As they proceed North, the sky starts to turn orange and Skull Kid feels something wrong. "Link, I smell smoke, I think we should go back to the treeho-" BOOM! A ball from a catapult lands and explodes near Epona. Link and Skull Kid are then thrown off of Epona harshly. Link and Skull Kid then get up on their feet. "L-Link... Are you okay? Epona freaked out and ran away, let's go find her!" Link and Skull Kid then gasp as they hear a lot of soldiers yelling. Several cannonballs then land near them. "Link! We gotta take shelter! Over here!" As Link runs towards Skull Kid and the sheltered spot he found, a huge, thick tree covered in flames falls between them. When the tree fell, Link was very close to it and was thrown back from the impact when the tree fell. Link landed hard, and got knocked out. Skull Kid yelled, "LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNKKKKK!" Link closes his eyes as a couple of soldiers run to him. The screen goes black, and Link wakes up in a bed at Hyrule Castle. Zelda is at the side of the bed, and greets Link. "Link! Tee-hee! I knew you'd be okay! It's been awhile since you left to Termina, huh?" It has been a few years, and Zelda has grown into a beautiful teenager princess. Link gasps in awe as he looks at Zelda, much more attractive then he remembers. Link then realizes he had lost his friend and gets worried. Zelda wonders why. "Link? Are you okay? Don't worry, we found Epona and she is in the Castle Stables. ... What? A friend of yours got separated from you after you blacked out? Sorry Link, but all I saw were soldiers carrying you from the battlegrounds. Then, I told them to bring you in the castle since you are a friend of the Royal Family. I can tell Daddy to send the soldiers to look for your friend. Impa!" Impa comes. "Yes Princess Zelda?" Zelda replies, "Please tell my Father that one of Link's friends are still in the battlegrounds, and for the soldiers to find him." "I shall address the King immediately." "Thank you Impa. Anyway, Link, I need to tell you something important. As you can see, or remember, our wonderful land of Hyrule is at war! Just a few days ago, an army of monsters started attacking Kakariko Village, then came to Hyrule Field and spread out across the land to attack nearby places! Luckily, all the villagers fled unharmed, and soldiers came out immediately to stop them! But now, they keep attacking! Once you've had enough rest, I want you to find out where the enemy is coming from and if possible, stop it! Oh please Link! Our wonderful Hyrule is at stake, and our soldier supply is low! Link, the fate of Hyrule rests on your hands." *Intro Finished.*

In my opinion, I think this would work best as either a OoT/MM hack, or a fan-fic. However, it's a really cool idea, especially the prospect of a war in Hyrule.

 

I've actually been toying around with an idea for a game based during the Hyrulean Civil War where you play as a Sheikah fighting for the hylians. It would also use ideas from Twilight Princess with the Interlopers. You would have to go to 3 temples to pray to the golden goddesses for help. The final boss would involve fighting an interloper using the Fused Shadow. That's all I have really, it's not built up very much.

 

Alas, I don't have the knowledge or the skill to make something so advanced. I hope to continue learning C# and move on to bigger projects, but at the moment I can barely make a Text Adventure. Maybe one day you'll see something from me.

 

If anyone wants to use or develop the idea for anything, feel free.
