Well, whatever it turns out to be, I hope it's not too difficult... Challenge is always good, but when games are too hard (like Zelda II hard), it goes from being fun to being enraging. Majora's Mask, I think, was perfect, difficulty-wise. It provided you with a good challenge, but whatever you came across, you could eventually figure it out. And if something was too difficult at the time, you could go on to something else and come back to it later. But most importantly, it was fun! If the game can combine challenge, fun, a great story, great gameplay, and great graphics, it could very well be the best Zelda game ever.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Hi no Seijin

The more laws of time, space, and physics that are broken, the happier I am.  Take the Stone Tower Temple (MM) and Forest Temple (OoT) for example.  STT could be flipped upside down and Link could defy gravity.  The Forest Temple had those twisting hallways.  I want to see that again.  That, and more time travel.  Or at least more control over time.  A return to Termina, Koholint, Holodrum (especially the Tarm Ruins), and Labrynna would be excellent.  Hyrule is great and all, but it's time we revisit some other lands.  Perhaps some new lands as well.

Or to meet the fanboy in me, a cross between Fire Emblem and Zelda.  I would drool.  Shoot, I'd just drool over a Zelda game that's a strategic RPG.

Yeah, why not see Labrynna and Holodrum in 3D?

Hi no Seijin

MC Escher ftw.  Zelda needs a little more MS Escher.  Quick!  To the HNSmobile!  We're off to Japan to talk to Nintendo about the next Zelda game!

While we're there, we can try to get them to experiment with a main character who isn't Link.  Honestly, what are the odds that every single hero Hyrule has is a boy named Link or looks like Link (coughTMCbackstorycough).  I bet the boy in Four Swords was Link or looked like Link.  If they want the Link connection to remain, then the main character could be Link's son or daughter.  And Link's wife could be someone who isn't Malon, Zelda, Nabooru, Ruto, Saria, Marin, Romani Cremia, Anju, etc.

What if it was the son of Rusl? You know, Colin? He was affected by Link, and they could make a great story with him, like maybe Link is killed in an attack, or he moves or something, and Colin has to step up to fight off the big bad new general.

That would make for an interesting story...

You know something I'd like to see again? Temples/dungeons/whatever that you can go back and go through again after you've already beaten them. I love being able to do this.

Hi no Seijin

Like in Majora's Mask, where you can defeat the boss as many times as you want.  Yeah, that feature continues to make MM the best Zelda game in my eyes.  Well, one of the features.

And hey, a hero who isn't a blood relative of Link?  Even better.

Yeah, but it would still have a relation to Link because of Link's influence on him..I think it sounds like a good idea...

Go play Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland if you want another hero. Apart from the fact you play with Tingle, it also refers to other heroes. Most notable would be Lyphos (who arguably is the one the Salona thought was the reincarnation of "their" ancient hero). Secondly, there is the Salona's unnamed ancient hero. And then we have Junglo and possibly Baron.
Not that she's a hero (yet), but I'm personally convinced little Aba belongs to Links'/one of the Links' bloodlines and I'd love to see her again (as well as the other kids).

Also, at least Darmani in MM had the status of hero as well.

My friend and I were talking on the bus about how they should make a game that's a remake of all the Zelda games make with Twilight Princess graphics. I doubt it will happen, but it would be pretty cool.

*coughAnotherLinktothePastcough*

Seriously though, I found a friend with a camera, I might start making videos about that.

Seriously though, a sequel to TP with Colin would be awesome.

Yeah, I don't think so. Colin was probably the least interesting character in the game (but that's not saying much! ), and a whole game based on him would probably make mah head asplode from epic fail overload.

Also I don't see why everyone doesn't want Link to be the main character. I mean, isn't that the whole point? Nobody complains about playing as Mario in a Mario game, for instance.

DW

Well, Link's not in the title, now, is he?

Zelda's not in every game, though she's in the title...

*sighs* And? The fact that in 20 years there hasn't been a game titled "The Legend of Zelda" that didn't have someone named Link as the main character means nothing, I suppose?

Edit: That is of course directed towards Shikamaru.
