Ideas thread.

Here's another thought... maybe it'd be cool if we could meet and interact with traditional Zelda characters, like Impa? Since we do have the Shiekah race open to us (though I'm not sure if Impa was a Shiekah back in Adventure of Link)...

Like Tingle?

... Wyndisis would kill him.  But I plan on a new character.

I have a suggestion.How about...er,other lands?Like maybe Somarian Island or something like that?Maybe you'd have to ride a boat if it's outside Hyrule,or,if it's in Hyrule(a.k.a Underground),maybe like the Underworld(ooh...freaky),you'd have to take a well-hidden "special route" somewhere in Hyrule...like maybe a tree stump that's actually an "elevator" to the Sky Kingdom! ;D ,or a well-hidden tunnel leading down to the boiling-hot Core Of Hyrule,or even a useless-looking contraption capable of taking a large crowd down to the bottom of the seas?

From the sneak peaks thread, in a post by our very own Narrator (Jack):

I can assure you the overworld will not be empty, but will be filled with tons of great content. Also, there may be a few spots that go into the underworld (which WILL be joining East Hyrule, South Hyrule, and Death Mountain Area as one of the four big expansions at some point).

How's that, neh? And this'll be a (relatively) huge overworld, too, we hear...

[Jack]

I'd like to eventually have Byrna/Somaria as areas that you can visit, but those would be a loooong way off.

Also, like you mentioned, there will be a series of "Deku Jump Spots" that will allow you to quickly travel from one spot on the map to another. Some will need to be unlocked with a quest.

The whole place is gonna be huge Gorjack, I can assure you of that.

How 'bout...Prestige Classes, again?It's like Vassal-Royal Knight,Thief-Night Warrior,Nomad-Explorer,and so on...

[Jack]

I wasn't too keen on Prestige Classes as they devloped the first time around. If anything I'd make high-level only class-specific talents that could be really powerful.

[Jack Half a Prayer]

will we be able to "create" things in the new game. Could someone run a potion shop and say spend willpower or spell to make items? the more SPL/will the more powerful the Item? I know this concept was brought up on the game but I can't remember if we've addressed it here...

[Jack]

Put that on the back burner until after launch. I'll be willing to give it a serious work once I get the basics down.

[gorjak]

How about quests involving certain areas of South Hyrule?Like maybe a Quest to clear Hyrule Castle Town(Just guessing)so it can be rebuilt.

[Jack]

Southern Hyrule will open up eventually. First things first is Papapa, then the middle part of Hyrule, then East Hyrule, then South Hyrule.

[gorjak]

How about a shop that sells Red and Blue Mails,identical to the ones from LA DX's Color Dungeon?They would both be expensive or so,and Red would probably be a +5 STR while Blue is +5 DEF or something similar to that.

[Jack]

Stop stealing my ideas.  :P

Those are on my list as Epic items found only in dungeons.

Which brings up the ever-enduring "who gets what" problem at the end of quests XD. Hopefully it won't boil down to the law of "Acquiris Quodcumque Rapis" (you get what you grab).   :)

Och, but back in HA1 the one and only L3 heart piece was the possession of someone who quit. *urk*
