Somewhere I heard that the next Zelda game will be rated "T." I hope they do, I mean no sense in doing what they did with WW; that was a mistake. I would love to see a Zelda that is a little darker, and a little more violent.
What would be more of a mistake would be if they made it rated "M." But yeah, OoT should have been "T," but it wasn't. I thnk this one'll be the greatest though.
Yeah, you are right, especially with the Shadow Temple. Did you notice the room with the blood splashed all over it in there?
Actually, I've never been in the shadow temple... :'( all the others though. The well was the same way, and ganon's death was kinda violent too.
Oh yeah, I kind of remember you talking about that. In the first version of OOT, wasn't the green blood red when Link stabbed Ganon in the head?
Haha, the Shadow Temple was horrific. Need I mention the torture racks?

What did they do wrong with WW??? ??? ??? ???
But, yeah, it would be better if the new game was rated T instead of E all the time. The Zelda games can accually be pretty violent. And for the shadow temple, that was just gross (all the blood on the walls and floors)
i wanna share what my friend lee said about how zelda would go down the drain if it had a "T" rateing
"Oh yes lets make TP dark. In the next zelda we can have link use a gun and then we can have the almighty bullet time!!! yes another matrix nock off! then it can take the side affects of RPG's were all you do is run around and get no action! you kno why i like zelda? because it different! good day to you dear SIR!" he said that wile watching E3 with me...
I think Link lives in a time where guns weren't invented. But even if they were invented, the zelda makers would not do such a thing. they know they'd get sued big time if they made it like those stupid games where people run around with guns shooting every living thing they see. But anyways, those kind of games are rated M. Honestly, I don't care if it's E or T, it's pretty much the same thing, but it's rating should represent how violent and/or appropriate the game is. And maybe, just possably, the Zelda games are rated E because you can't go up to normal people and start hacking them with a sword. (The sword goes right through their bodies. Yikes!) And I guess that's a good thing. Malon would be dead by now. JUST KIDDING!!
agreed
Shouldnt this be in the TP board? ???
Probably... oh well.
I think that a T rating would help add to the darker side of the game. And add a more mature felling to the game to go along with the mature Link.
Totally. (But not too dark... I'll have nightmares. Probaly about Link the wolf out to get me. :o)

I started this thread long before the TP board was set up, so this is where it is.

the trailers gave me and erie feeling like the shadow temple and gannons tower did (oot) so i thinks its gonna be that way almost threw out the game.
Quotethe trailers gave me and erie feeling like the shadow temple and gannons tower did (oot) so i thinks its gonna be that way almost threw out the game.
For me one of the freakier parts was when Link is almost tiptoeing down the stairs, only to have a big glowing freaky Armos Statue with a huge hammer come alive and roar. And jump out at Link. That gave me a bit of a fright. But I guess that's the way of the Armos... roar, shudder, and jump out at Link.
i agree with that
I really would like to see the Zelda games a bit more mature, but not violent. I think that it is a very fine line to walk, making the Zelda series more mature, but not violent, and I hope that Nintendo can do it. I'm sick of media pummeling us with violence all the time.

I couldn't of said it any better myself! ;)
You're right,TP is likely to be rated T.
Plus,like most of you said here,the Shadow Temple was "gross".Blood all over the place(well,actually,only a few rooms)like there had been a massacre in there...which I'm sure there was.
And if Zelda had a "Guns" theme,they'd be using flint/matchlock muskets and ancient guns like that.

true. lee just thinks that zelda is gonna go down hill one day because nintendio needs the cash. but they love us fans i dont think theyll do that.
Zelda? Guns? Am I really seeing this? You guys have got to be joking! Zelda will never be a "guns" game! Bows and arrows don't exactly mix with guns. At least I hope it will never be a gun game. That would blow.
Since when does a company with 6 billion dollars need the cash?
Yeah, I don't want Zelda to have guns, it would ruin the atmosphere.
Nintendo is the only of the three who actually earn any money on their games/consoles. Did you know that Microsoft actually LOOSE money for each X-box they sell?
Quotethe trailers gave me and erie feeling like the shadow temple and gannons tower did (oot) so i thinks its gonna be that way almost threw out the game.
You can't judge the game by the trailers. Nintendo did the same way with OoT. But yes, it will be dark, emotional and serious. That's because Aonuma has confirmed it.
Quotetrue. lee just thinks that zelda is gonna go down hill one day because nintendio needs the cash. but they love us fans i dont think theyll do that.
Zelda has already gone downhill, with OoT. But it seems to enter a new age of greatness with TP.
QuoteZelda has already gone downhill, with OoT. But it seems to enter a new age of greatness with TP.
I half agree with that. I think that Zelda may be going down the hill, but not because of OoT!!! OoT is what brought it really high up the hill. (with mastering 3D, the sad, somewhat twisted storyline, all the characters, the extra fun stuff, riding a horse, blah blah blah) Maybe it went down the hill with some of the shorter games that didn't have 3D or fun extras or horses. But, it's defently going to be really good when TP is coming out, it'll make up for some the other games.
Zelda is not going downhill. Each game is better than the last.
And what's this about it going downhill at OoT? That's widely regarded as the best game of all-time.
Even Miyamoto says the only game he's made that he's felt let down by was FSA.

some ppl hate oot MG, i was talking to a fellow fan from another fourm last week. he said he hated it, i myself gasped hearing so and simply replied "ZOMG WHY?!" (XD it was on aim, i get a little nerdy) he told me that link seemed too femanine (spelled right? and just to add my friend thought link looked cute in 0otXD) and gannon just didnt look good as a pig... he didnt understand the plot really (yeah there were parts were the simple minded wouldnt understand) so 0ot had its holes....

Well, I do have to agree with MG--OOT did get like... game of the year for like 3 years in a row, and may likely be the first exposure that a lot of people have ever gotten to Hyrule (just my conjecture). I know it was the first Zelda game that I ever played for much, and single-handedly has made me a bit of a Zelda geek (that doesn't know much about anything other than OOT, but still a geek).
I don't know what that guy from your forum was talking about.
"link seemed too femanine": Hm... OOT is where Link looks feminine? I'm not sure what it is that could make him look "feminine"--maybe the earring? Anyway... first time I've ever heard this complaint (all the female Zelda fans that I know have, since OOT, christened the Hero of Time "My Linky-Poo!" and the males certainly don't bring it up as much).
"gannon just didnt look good as a pig": Well... at least he hated the game long enough to play all the way to the end and decide, in the end, that he didn't like the way Ganon looked.
QuoteZelda has already gone downhill, with OoT. But it seems to enter a new age of greatness with TP.
What's the big difference between OOT and TTP? I was always under the impression that they were the most similar, TTP being the first realism-esque 3D Zelda title since OOT. Or did you mean "going downhill
since OOT"?
i think it was the whole white tights thing and in some offical art his tunic was fairing around like a skirt...i talked to him last night about what he thought about links look in TP he goes "now he looks like a hobo" ::) some ppl are never happy.
Hey, if he didn't like it because of the way Link and Ganon looked, he's got problems, seriously. I can understand the plot part, to some extent, but I can't see hating the game for those three reasons alone.
Yeah, on my last play-through, I noticed the earrings, but didn't make anything of it.
Oh, and let me ask this:
Why is Twilight Princess so popular right now?
I was let down by the size of the world. It turned out to be too small for my taste, and there were only two real villages and a town, and you can't enter the castle.
Oh, and I prefer the old-school Ganon. And Link in his old-school clothes. And the challenge also is a reason why I think the 3D games are let-downs.
But when I say let-down, I mean compared to the OTHER Zelda games. I think that OoT, MM and TWW just aren't as good as the 2D games.

in o0t? i guess but i liked the world of WW. it was really different and you had to plan were and what you had to do so it wouldnt take forever to get somewere.
Aw, sweet! ;D A Zelda game getting a "T for Teens" rating? That's gonna make Zelda History!
It should totally be "T" I mean links a teen in it so it should be rated like that.
I heard it would be TP, but that was a long time ago. In fact if you check the TP section the old topic may still be there. Anyways, I like darker themes too, it makes Zelda fantastic, and maybe people wont refer to it as a stupid fantasy for nerds. Sad but true, people think Zelda is for nerds, until they play it and fall in love with it.
Yeah, I hate that. Then people play on it, and are like OMFG this is fantastic!
Seriously a T while maybe losing some younger players would gain a lot of older ones. Like seriously half any Zelda game is literally killing stuff (in a vair stylish way).
That's what I thought until I played TWW. Now it's my life!
In England ratings are shown as ages e.g. 3+, 7+, 13+, 15+ etc.
The WW was a 3+ for gods sake, and that was the edition including OoT and Master quest.
I soo want at the very least a 13+ if not a 15+.
BTW what is the English age equivelant of an "M" rating?
like 18 I think it is like the highest rating, or the one that is used on those games a lot.
I don't really understand.
If you don't understand read the previous posts.
I did.
Well in the argument of guns I like to think zelda games are what I like to call the "Fantasy Era". Wherein the use of gunpowder is limited to crude explosives such as cannons or bombs, and if there is advance technologies the knowledge of them are limited to one species.
If they put guns in Zelda I may have to write a very angry letter!!!
Seriously Zelda would be ruined by Guns. That just takes the Fantasy stuff away. And when you have magic, eho needs Guns?
Okay let me clear this up. In america we got
EC= Early Childhood
E= Everyone
E+10 = Eeryone 10 and up
T= Teen
M= Mature
AO= Adults Only.
The difference between M and AO is M is 17 and for AO you HAVE to be a legal adult, which is 18 or older.
Ok Grazi.
Yeah thats what I meant. :P
Yeah, an AO rated Zelda game would probably result in Nabooru's avatar. :P :P
lol! Well I want it even more!!!!!! Hahahaha sadly it would probably be worse..... :)
lol! They would have to make a whole new rating for Nabooru's kinda Zelda game :P :P HPO and you DONT want to know what THAT stands for. :P
Lol yeah I would still get it though :P. And yes yes I do....?
The very notion of an AO Zelda is... morbid. They have Tingle at their disposal XD
That puts one hell of a nasty picture in my mind Blank. Dont ever say anything like that again :P :P (Tingle... blech)
Oh god please no.

Jolly good fun though :P
lol! Thats just sick! It would be rated PTASSIWO And that stands for (Peaple That Are So Sick Its Wrong Only. :P :P
Well at least that means we can still buy it...lol XP
