Topic: If the Legend of Zelda for Wii U...

Is called that... "The Legend of Zelda for Wii U", or even just "The Legend of Zelda", I'm going to be very disappointed. The name of each individual adventure is part of the whole feel of the world for me. I have a very strong feeling they will do either of these, as they seem to be hyping this as a sort of rebirth of the series, so it would fit, but, I just don't like it.

Xenoblade Chronicles X was a poor choice (Same name as it's predecessor but with an X), along with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Couldn't follow the trend of Melee and Brawl? Mayhem? Rumble? There are hundreds of options to fall in line with the series norm), and although Mario Kart 8 isn't a BAD name, it just kind of seemed uninspired, but this could be due to my expectation that it would be called Mario Kart: U Turn since it just seemed so perfect, lol.

Anyways, I hope Zelda gets a cool subtitle. Am I alone in this line of thinking?

Yes.

The Legend of Zelda has always been a placeholder name. This is no different.

No.

There were rumblings of "The Legend of Zelda" being considered by Aonuma, mentioning it is being considered because it is a rebirth of the series.

Of course, this is just a rumor, but so isn't everything until we know for sure.

Xenoblade Chronicles X isn't a bad name!!!! I think its cool and unique!!!! Sakurai already explained the reasoning behind naming Super Smash Bros. For (4) Wii U and 3DS. Of course Legend of Zelda U isn't its real name.... Come on!!!!

There is literally a Zelda discussion thread on the 1st page of the Wii U forum.

Yeah, they've been phoning in the names for recent games, please give it a name that actually stands out for once.

"The Legend of Zelda: Nintendo's version of Skyrim"

100 Billion copies sold

That'd sell me a copy.. and maybe even a console

I am only going to charge Nintendo $1 for every copy they sell for using the title I created... so I thank you for that $1

I'm going to send you $2 extra because I like you

Now you are making me feel dirty

Literally everyone on earth buys 10+ copies, lol.

I would rather a good subtitle as usual, but I wouldn't mind a reboot if it erased all the annoying timeline bs from future installments.

To be fair only the GBA and GC ones had an interesting name and even then only Double Dash was even half descriptive of the game. Which TBH is why I don't really mind them calling Smash Bros just "Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS" because that literally says all you need to know. Brawl didn't really tell you anything about the game, they could have used that name for these new ones and you wouldn't say "that doesn't make sense".

With Zelda though they always use the title to somehow describe the game or story with the exception of the first. If they told us what the full title was now that would be one less thing they can announce at a later date.

I don't think it's a bad name but adding a X isn't unique, it's been done so many times before.

I just want to say, if this game is as good as Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask, or The Wind Waker with modern gaming's advancements I'll just die. It's been 8 years, 8 YEARS since the last great 3D Zelda, maybe we'll finally get a fifth great 3D Zelda.

I'm expecting a subtitle just like with any other Zelda game.

I am actually more concerned with the game than the title. Or subtitle.

And if this is Nintendo's Skyrim, I hope they spare us the glitches.

I love all Bethesda Studios games, but they're all so full of glitches and bugs and crashes. Too much going on in the world, and the machines can't handle it.

But what is Skyrim without its glitches?

Why are we talking about Skyrim? The elder scrolls series got their inspiration from Zelda in the first place.
