Zelda as a Protagonist?

[BlackMastodon]

First let's start off by saying this isn't actually something in development (unfortunately). Sorry if I got you excited.

There's been a few fan made ideas for Zelda games in the past while but this one I thought was really fucking cool.

What if Zelda Was the Hero Rescuing Prince Link? - Cheezburger

There was another one not too long ago about following Zelda while she is in hiding with the Sheikah while Link is frozen in the Temple of Time for 7 years during OoT.

I personally think that either one of these as a game that focuses on stealth and agile fighting gameplay would be hella tits. And Zelda being the protagonist would just kind of go really well with the theme.

So, thoughts? I can only hope that stuff like this gets enough attention where Nintendo would actually consider doing something like it, but until then I guess I can dream.

Thank the gods I never played that. Too young for Sega CDI anyway.

What if Zelda was a girl?

Actually I think it would be really cool if they went with the theme of Zelda as a Sheikah while Link was trapped in the Sacred Realm for those 7 years. Basing it on stealth and silent assassination would kick so much ass. Just to up the ante some, make it a bit more "mature" in its content and of course make it 3D with interactive environments.

Oh god, I'm actually drooling at the thought of this...

Actually, the CD-i was made by Magnavox/Phillips. I got one just to play the three Zelda and two Mario games that were made for it and they are all truly horrible. I'm a big video game collector though. I wouldn't recommend anyone shell out the cash for this stuff (unless you're a collector) because it is really bad.

The Elder Scrolls: Hyrule?

I was thinking it could be something like Metal Gear Solid 4 meets Elder Scrolls.

That would be one big dickwad of awesomeness.

While we're on the subject of CD-i:



Your praise for the Zelda series is now tainted.

 

[Don Vito]

I think I ruined your thread.

 

[BlackMastodon]

I was just gonna post how this thread became the "Lol Zelda CDi thread."

Replace "Link" with "Zelda" and we have ourselves the new game.
