I love the way they make the zelda games. you have to do different strategies for different boss and when you get to the main boss and your stuk becouse you can’t baet him maybey those strategies that you learn from the other bosses can help you deffeat the main boss… and its not about saving the princess(i mean c’mon mario dose the same with peach…why shouldn’t link)its about having fun with it. what i also like is that it dosnt have any technology (its more like a game of the past), no guns, no jet paks…just things that you can make out of trees, and your hand…if the creater is reading this, i just wanna say that your doin a awesome job, and watever game you make next am sure it will be a good one!!!

I’m saying Nintendo doesn’t know what to do with their franchises. Their audience now though doesn’t care about any of that… They won’t buy a game just because it has Mario or Link in it, like core gamers would.

So now they have to either make games for the core or for the much larger casual owner and the two are mutually exclusive.

So, you’re saying Nintendo will try to incorporate Wii Fit into Zelda, or make a Zelda Party minigames title? :p

This is the same problem Nintendo has saddled itself with… They’ve won this generation of the console wars and they don’t know what to do now. Especially as they won the war by changing the way its waged!

Now they’ve sold a ton of consoles to people who don’t play games, and they have a bunch of franchises that don’t fit that model. So we get more things like Wii Fit and less and less of Mario, Link, Star Fox, and Donkey Kong.
