The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild wishlist thread.
What are some things you want to see in terms of story/characters/items/world/side quests/dungeons etc?
cute grills
>>341428364
This
Zelda better be qt
Bonus points if I can use my Zelda amiibo and summon her like Wolf Link
From a purely "I'm one of the only people who gives a shit about the overarching story of the series" perspective, I'd like this to be the game that unifies timelines.
I noticed the Temple of Time is decimated, and this is as technological as a Zelda game's ever been, so a small mention/nod to the time stream and repairing all of that would be nice.
>>341428186
>difficulty settings
>play as girl
Charming NPCs in the towns with loads of personality
As for me, I had some ideas
>silly clothes like TFH, maybe even unlockable with Amiibos (saving Hyrule wearing Mario's overalls and hat would be GOAT)
>optional companions (like a Zora or a Goron) with different abilities that help you both in combat, travel and puzzles
>a dungeon that starts with a boss battles after which you have to find a way out of the dungeon
>more time-wasting activities like fishing, auctions, trade quests, things to do when you don't want to go ahead with the main game
>age gaps between the three main characters (loli Zelda? Milf Zelda? Evil kid Ganon? Old man Ganon?)
Some of these are not feasible I guess but still.
>>341429757
>a dungeon that starts with a boss battles after which you have to find a way out of the dungeon
I like that idea. I immediately thought Link could fall down a massive pit or a chasm or something, and have to fight whatever's at the bottom, then try and climb his way back up. It'd probably be one of the earlier dungeons because you'd mostly be doing it through clever management of your stamina gauge. Be a good way to teach people about that.
A fuck-load of dungeons.
>>341428186
A comfy instrument to play by the bonfires during nights. Plot related or not, i dont care.
Just as long as it's hard. TP was so easy, the only challenge the game ended up presenting was knowing where to go. The boss fights were all over in 3 hits, often without me getting hurt. And I'm pretty shit at videogames.
A sense of oppressive evil and depths in some of the dungeons.
>>341428186
Companions. Not your generic zelda waifu assisstant, but actual NPCs that can journey with you and fight with you
Stable FPS on NX
>>341430590
About the dungeons I mean in LttP they were exhausting. The music and sound effects were more responsible for the atmosphere than anything else, but hell, I felt like I was really under the ground with Link, potentially never coming out again. The relief when I made it back into the Sun and the main theme, after completion was always significant
>>341429757
>>a dungeon that starts with a boss battles after which you have to find a way out of the dungeon
danm that's cool
An in-game plot reason to use amiibos, I know that's silly, but it'd break my immersion otherwise
Epic music ALTTP style
Character development, chance to evolve to Fierce DeityMost powerful form is Fierce Deity with ALTTP's Sword and Shield, you get Golden MS by fusing FD sword with MS
Do you think this game could get DLC?
Ice skates
>>341432373
If it does, it would most likely be a separate episode much like NS Luigi U, and would be this game's Majora's Mask or whatever
>>341431041
>I'm autistic: the post.
>>341432513
Anon ALTTP came out like 20 years ago, maybe he was a kid when he played it? I guess you weren't even born by that time though.
>>341428186
I'm cautious as the usual tools are replaced by Sheikah spells. They're good, but they shouldn't replace tools.
>>341428186
I want to see fan art of wolf link taking this new girlyish link and knotting him in the ass with like a small thought bubble or something of thw new link saying something about being his bitch or something along those lines
>>341428186
nice villages with a interesting characters
challenging dungeons
quests beyond "collect shit" and "go there"
cute girl panties for Link to replace his boxers
I wonder if the runes will be upgradeable. Or ever combinanable, like making a bomb you can pick up with the magnet or that flings enemies everywhere.
>>341428965
I think I actually might have liked a grill now, with all of the menu dressup it seems to have. Well, not a big deal.
I'm just hoping that the game world is not completely barren and boring.
Also I want difficulty settings from the beginning. Zelda games have always been ezy peezy except in NG+
>a challenge mode where no hearts drop from enemies/grass
>enemies that don't just spawn in the same areas but instead move around the map
>multiple types of "smaller" enemies in the overworld like iron knuckles
>grappling hook
>happy mask salesman to return
>a main city like clocktown that actually feels alive
>random friendly npcs in the overworld you can trade with/do quests for like escort them
>a permanent house you can upgrade
>a way to customize weapons
>a labyrinth
>>341433498
>a challenge mode where no hearts drop from enemies/grass
Doesn't happen in BotW
>>341432793
>>341428186
Internet memes
>>341433574
What doesn't you ambiguous nigger, challenge mode or hearts?
>>341432482
>a separate episode much like NS Luigi U
It'd be cool if we can play as Zelda
>>341433831
hearts
>>341433831
Hearts
>>341428813
the timelines started off as fanfic, i'd like it better if this disregarded them
I really want them to go all out on tribal races.
I want Zoras, Gorons, Koroks, Ritos and more.
Can we - for once - have really cool dragons?
>>341434326
>zoras
>rito
You only have one option and it's very likely the latter.
>story
I don't care much but a little twist on the formula would be good. This webm got me hyped, looks eerie for a Zelda game.
>characters
We've already seen a Korok and an Old Man so I think it's pretty safe to say we're getting the usual charming NPCs every Zelda game has. And the best part is that there's no helper this time!
Hoping Zeldais qt as Linkand doesn't just get kidnapped for the entire course of the game
>world
Please don't be empty please don't be empty please don't be empty. I want rewarding exploration.
>side quests
As long as it's not MMORPG tier it'll be fine. I might be a minority but I love a long chain of trading sequences like in Link's Awakening
>dungeons
Hoping the puzzles not just "use item X to open door" and that there are more creative ways to solve them, like combining uses and stuff like that. Strong bosses, LONG challenging dungeons that'll take a while to complete.
Story-wise, I hope it's like Metroid Prime. So it's pretty much entirely optional but there's a lot of background lore. Aonuma already confirmed that the story is optional, I just hope the actual lore that is in the game is good.
There aren't any helper characters, which is a good thing. Fi was the worst part of Skyward Sword and I'm glad that they fix that issue. I hope that the towns and NPCs are interesting rather than being generic like Skyrim and most other games like that.
I'm fine with the world at the moment, it seems like there is lots to do in the Great Plateau. Some of the other areas they showed off in the video look a bit barren but hopefully that's just because it's still in development.
I hope we have sidequests like the ones in Majora's Mask, although that will be difficult to integrate with this world. The reason it worked so well in Majora's Mask was because there was a rigid time system of only three days. This meant that every NPC could have a strict schedule of things to be doing at any given time. I imagine that this game won't have the same 3 day mechanic, but it does have an in-game clock so maybe they can design sidequests around that. I just hope that it doesn't become like most RPG sidequests, where everything is a basic fetch or kill quest.
I hope that the dungeons are good and make use of various items, although I'm not too worried about this aspect. If there's one aspect that they've nailed in the recent 3D Zeldas, it's dungeons and boss battles. I'd like to see more unique dungeons like the Ancient Cistern, Snowpeak Ruins or Stone Tower.
>>341432776
What do you mean?
>>341430083
100+ shrines confirmed already.
And if that doesn't quench your thirst, there are apparently 4 HUGE dungeons.
>>341435403
Only four?
That's kind of underwhelming, since Shrines seem to be the only thing there outside stupid Bokoblin outposts
>Ganon as the big bad again
>>341434359
The hardest part about a flying enemy is actually getting to them. With climbing, gliding and a hookshot (I can't imagine they'll skip on something like that with all the physics stuff) there can finally be fights with proper verticality
c'mon aonuma
pretty sure its after links awakening desu senpai
we don't know where that link goes but he embarks on his raft
what I want: LESS FUCKING HANDHOLDING, meaningful character progression, very little fast travel (like 4 points in the world)as somebody who grew up with a snes, it's nice to see nintendo actually trying something new and putting effort into it instead of remastered-this and new super mario bros-that
>>341435930
First is confirmed, second is teased, third is not happening: it's confirmed you can fast travel to any shrine of the world
>>341435930
>LESS FUCKING HANDHOLDING
You're getting it
>meaningful character progression
probably not
>very little fast travel (like 4 points in the world)
Nah
If it's half as fun just riding from place to place as it is in Witcher 3, it'll be worth it
>>341434891
Maybe there were still Zoras in Wind Waker. Ritos evolved from Zoras so it's not impossible that some Zoras stayed aquatic creatures
Comfy fishing. Like really comfy.
Maybe a extensive and advanced fishing side to it.
I don't want to press this too far as I probably wouldn't spend that much time on it myself but it think it would be pretty cool and I know some people probably would spend a whole bunch of time on it. Maybe get some special rewards only from it, that kind of thing. Maybe not anything useful, just cosmetic stuff... Or maybe do do that, I can't decide.
>>341428186
Pretty much this
>>341420941
>>341428186
I wanna see some bird more bird people.
>>341428186
I loved XCX, and that overworld, so if the overworld can be populated like that, GOAT
Calamity Ganon looks badass
I would like an instrument and songs
Wouldn't mind another queasy gut dungeon like Jabu Jabu
>>341428186
I wish the asshole playing would have actually picked up all the shit that dropped and climbed the goddamn ladder on the Temple of Time.
>>341436512
>combat threats
you didnt see the webm of the golem one shotting Link?
>>341428186
>What are some things you want to see in terms of story/characters/items/world/side quests/dungeons etc?
nothing, im 28 years old now why the fuck should I care about this childish shit? not to mention it's simply not going be as good as the older ones
>>341428186
I think they're probably gonna take a good crack at explaining how the Downfall Timeline occurred.This particular Link is probably going to be revealed as the Fallen Hero of Time newly resurrected, as he never actually fulfilled his original purpose
Other than that, a couple of other things I'd like to see at least get a passing mention:
>The Minish and the Light Force (even if it's just optional lore you can find in a series of mini-dungeons)
>A full history of the Sheikah (after all these years of hinting and winking at the audience...just throw us a bone, already!)
>Hylia's true origin (she's probably some sort of embodiment of the entire land/planet, but some further clarification would be fully appreciated)
>Origin of the Sages (the shift from an earth Goddess-based religion to an ethereal Holy Trinity communicating via Sages and physical avatars, i.e. Oracles)
>Hyrulean Civil/Unification War, creation of the Temple of Time and sealing the Triforce in the Sacred Realm (again, even if it's just optional lore)
>The Oocca maybe? I dunno...
>>341435524
MM only had 4 dungeons and the game still worked. It had loads of side quests like this game but none of the exploration, hopefully this turns out better
>>341433831
The only way to get health back is by eating food.
So one 1 out of 2 at the moment.

>lying, edgy, tryhard teen
I'm 30 and I still pre-order Zelda games. They were my childhood, and the games continue to be well-designed and fun.
>>341438087
you just seem like a blind fanboy
it's one thing to be excited in this, but acting like TP or SS was well designed just illustrates your lack of taste
>>341436401
Oh I noticed there was cooking in there too so maybe combine these things as well.
And now that I think about it, I guess some people will maybe not like this side to it, but other crafting elements too. Stuff that integrates into the temperature survival side of things too.
I guess were getting a bit beyond the usual Zelda game side of things here but I can't help but roll on and on from simple ideas into this sort of stuff.
>>341438353
>taste
Nice buzzword faggot
Here are some things that are actually reasonably little improvements
>Completion % counter
>Boss battles that aren't just "find the weak spot and hit it 3 (three) times :-^)"

>>341438519
>taste
>buzzword

This game looks so fucking good, but
>locked at 30fps
It's such a major boner-kill for me.
Hope that shit is at 60fps on the NX version.
>>341428186
I wanna see more development for Link as a hero. What are his real powers with the triforce of courage? Why does he keep coming back to fight? Is there a way to stop this cycle of strife between the different triforce users? Are past Links willing to help current Link like how the Hero's Shade did with TP Link? Is he always alone as a hero or only helped by random strangers on the way? Can other incarnations do what Hero's Shade did?
TP brought up interesting shot to the table for Link. I wanna see more of that. I wanna feel like I'm using a hero that will eternally keep fighting against evil. A hero that always sums the strengths of past heroes and help each other across eras. A hero that is not alone, that he himself is his own companion, master and friend in battle.
is link now officially out of the closet as a tranny mtf?
is estrogen a powerup?

>>341428364
I need this.
I want it to be Majoras Mask inspired with even more transformation mask (I'm thinking 5 instead of 3).
In that vein I am sorta sitting on what I consider the best song mechanic (and maybe even mechanic period) that has been in) any game thus far. It's so good it wouldn't be a stretch to.say it is better than everything Nintendo has at this point.
Gerudo girls.
>>341428186
I want there to be many dungeons and I want to be able to sequence break/go in alternate dungeon orders with (or without) proper items. I want mutliple solutions to all puzzles and encounters. Ideally, each path taken will change what other paths one can take as well ala acquiring certain gear (via sequence breaking) in Metroid determining your options. If so, then it'll be the correct sequel to LoZ NES.

>nemesis system like in that lotr game
>>341432248
I actually had an idea for a game where the antag is Fierce Diety related to >>341442105
What I want:
- Upgradable Master Sword
- Golden/SIlver Gauntlets
- The Silver Arrows
- Variety of appearances, even if we just get pallet-swapped tunics again.
- Equipment with options for variance. Ex. You can equip an accessory that halves magic consumption, but increases damage taken, or maybe a trinket that extends the range of the spin-slash, something akin to the rings from the oracle games.
- Maybe Link could JUMP for once.
>>341428186
Better attack animations with more clear swings and a bit more windup time.
Better enemy designs with higher aggression and faster attacks that take less hitstun.
Right now you can just run up to enemies and hit them first and pummel them until they're dead.
If they want to take a cue from classic Zelda, then having enemies which are actually difficult to avoid damage from would be a good way.
>>341443448
You can jump in BotW.
>>341428186
I hope there's a lot of side quests that branch out a little
>>341443448
Famalan... umm.
>Multiple different weapon types outside of Master Sword. like Maces, Claymores, Greataxes, all upgradable with stats and attributes.
>You choose your Armor sets, Chest, Legs, Arms, Helm options etc. Completely customisable. Ranging from nude link, to Link in full Iron Plate Armor.
>Jump has its own designated button.
Seriously man, go to jewtube, there are hours of gameplay you should be watching. It will blow your mind.
>>341443448
As the game looks it seems we're going to have most if not all of this except the gauntlets since we got a Magnetize item/skill thingy.
>>341443448

Considering the amount of detail to Link's body (shivering and blushing in the cold) this might be a plausible mechanic.
>>341443282
Hover Boots would be kinda redundant with the Glider and all.
>>341442528
Aonuma said the player can go straight to the final boss without visiting a single dungeon mate. Gamexplain confirmed.
Moblins with spears on patrol

Spear and bomb fishing confirmed. But I'll bet fishing rods can be found and used too. They could reward you by making live, fresh fish recover more hearts when cooked and eaten.
>>341445161
>shadow link invasions
Meta would be too insane
I love what we got so far as long as it doesn't end up like MGSV and gives me all this empty space to do incredibly repetitive task but I want story and characters too, as well as awesome dungeons.
I fucking hate most of you guys because everytime a Zelda game cames out it's fucking amazing but you'll shit on it and its pacing for the last 6 years before you shut the fuck up.

I have an idea you all might like:
MMfag here so I would essentially have the mask collecting thing make a return. A simplistic idea but I would have an increase in the total mask number from what it was in MM.
The cool part however; is that I would also introduce the "Face Sword". This guy would also double as the classic companion character. A sword that has a blank face on its guard that the various masks in the game could be equipped to, giving it various powers and puzzle solving utilities. The game would be gloriously difficult in places where you had to nimbly switch between masks both on Link and the sword in a very short span of time to use the very subtle effects each variety imparts in a given situation.
>One mask to raise a cube of earth from the ground, then a fire mask to strike only the left side of that cube (aim carefully), a time-slow mask on Link so you can run to the other side before the fire runs out, and put the bunny hood on the sword whose now-fast thrusts are the only thing that can hit every puzzle slot in time.
Have enemies in certain challenge modes/areas require things like this as well.
1/2
>>341447568
The best part; not only would you have unique masks different from MM (bring back the old must-haves of course) you''d also get to actually place the masks your SWORD at the same time, granting you elemental transformations, puzzle-solving utilities, and other abstract stuff. Maybe replace the Ocarina by having a legendary "Bard Mask" that you must aquire that you then place on your sword to gain the song making mechanic. Put it on Link to -learn- the various songs throughout the game. Put it on the sword to -play- the songs. You can even use 2 masks at once by equiping one on Link, one on the sword. Best part is that the Transformation masks (of which I'm thinking 5 instead of 3) will change the instrument depending on the race. Heck even have the minor masks add these purely aesthetic aesthetic -slight- musical/visual alterations (or even with a tiny puzzle solving potential) to the base instrument. I also have an idea for another mask category other than transformation. 'Summon Masks'. The only one of which I have thought up is Midna's Fused Shadow. Putting it on summons Imp Midna. Put it on the sword; True Midna. Midna + Bard-Sword would even give her a Twili instrument to play instead of you.
2/2
For Zelda to be fierce and play a prominent role in the story. Maybe even be a sort of rival to Link.
Design her after San a little and t'sawlgeud.
Bonus points if she's playable in NG+
>>341446514
>Spear and bomb fishing confirmed.
Oh seriously? I didn't see that but that is obviously a cool idea. And yeah talking of rods and thinking along the lines i was thinking earlier, made via crafting. just tying string to the spear, adding a hook maybe and bait etc etc.
And yeah tying it into the cooking for extra food effects is exactly the kind of things I was thinking.
Dungeons that make the stuff you can find and craft important.
For example, a deep dungeon that is so cold, that even with proper clothing you freeze. Basically you want to stock up on cold resistance, clothing against cold, firewood, flints and torches. Then you go in, hoping you have enough resources to get through.
Or a chest you can only get to with stamina enhancing potions, or where you have to be fast enough etc.
This is very possible to happen, but it might aswell not. I hope they don´t forget to explore these possibilities. If you lack the resources, it gives a good incentive to go out, find them and return later.
Also, secrets that don´t present them in a way of "HEY I´M A SECRET" For example, some sort of shrine in a low-level area that doesn´t look like it does fuck all, so you just pass it 100 times, but at some point you get the hint that dropping special sword X on the shrine will do something. So you drop special sword X on it and it opens a door to a high-level dungeon.Yes I know you don´t gain "levels"

You can hold items and drop them, so maybe... just maybe...Probably not.
Challenge sections where your tablet is taken away and you have to MacGuver the situation with whatever is in your pocket or whatever is around you. The tablet abilities are admittedly OP so taking it away would allow for more organic puzzle solving.
>>341449528
Kek. Spot on.
Though I wouldn't have anything like a "Bomb mask" or "Archer Mask" to replace the classic items as that would introduce the problem >>341432776 outlines.
>>341451007
This, with situations where specific items/masks are taken away from you ala >>341447568
>>341428186
Pic related. Also I want Silver Gauntlets or something similar to allow you to punch stuff while unarmed. Halberd weapon at some point, and some advanced fighting techniques like in TP.
A hard mode that limits your weapon inventory space, and makes Link weaker if he hasnt eaten in a while
