Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

I thought you already played as Zelda?

First person zelda?

But it just doesn't fit the game mechanics of Zelda imo. I'd imagine it's hard to fight (multiple) enemies or bosses using an array of items with that small field of view and also temples often contain visual and technical puzzles which just work out so much better in third person. I think it's nicer to actually see Link, firstly because it's easier to feel his location, that's pretty hard to explain but like walking on a narrow cliff is pretty tough in first person without looking down constantly, and also because I don't feel like Link is me, not at all, and I don't feel like I should be viewing the world through his eyes. If you tend to feel like the character in every game = you then maybe it's more immersive but not for me. To me exploration is also about the aesthetics and the ability to see everything beautiful around you, as said in first person the field of view is so small that you don't really see all that pretty scenery that well without constantly turning the camera and it might be harder to locate places.
First person may work well in simple games like shooters and racers but I just think Zelda is too complex for it in the same way as MMO's for example are.

First person zelda? Worst thought and idea ever people will hate it, reviewers will destroy the game. Fans will call it Call of Zelda, so many bad things can happen if they went that route.

lol, First Person Zelda would only work as a spin-off of the Link's Crossbow Training(that's already a spin-off)

As much as I'm personally not a fan of the game, every sentence of the above was also said about Metroid Prime before it came out, and it worked much better than anyone anticipated.

I couldn't even imagine Zelda controlling in first person. You need to be able to see your character for most boss fights. As a matter of fact I personally think fighting enemies wouldn't be fun at all. Elder Scrolls is fun but there is no diversity in fighting enemies. I mean all you really do is attack, back up to avoid getting hit, then go back in for the hit. Elder Scrolls for me was more fun completing missions and the like.

Zelda is for me 33% exploration, 33%combat, 33% puzzle solving. Without one of those just like that I don't think it will work!

Classic people not supporting change and evolution
Especially Nintendo fans.

How is fp evolution? I think Zelda would play horribly in first person. Metroid works because you are for the most part shooting. Link has a sword and in first person that limits what you can do to swing up and down and left to right. Sounds incredibly boring to me.

This thread is starting to feel like Groundhog Day. Feel like I'm reading the same page over and over again.

Yes, 1st person Zelda is a terrible idea and the guy with a parody account is taking you all for a jolly ride. Hopefully we can all move on by the time the game actually comes out.

The Elder Scrolls was a huge success, and it was fun. I'm not saying Zelda should just copy Elder Scrolls, but they can borrow some elements to improve the franchise

Parody account? Nice one, dude.
But for real, I feel like I'm always attacked when I come on this site.

Yep, I know this as I was one of the first if not the first to see this. He wasn't even here for 2 hours at that time. He want to turn everything into Dudebro! It actually comes off as hilarious.

The Legend of Zelda Dudebro edition, whats next the potions in the game are going to be mountain dew.Each one you open will get you experience to level up. but seriously first person zelda? That's idea will get laughed by everyone, just like it's happening right now.

I liked both Skyward Sword and Other M, come at me.

I like Skyward Sword, and I loved the relationship between Link and Zelda.
I also still want think this Link is a woman. Though, in certain angles Link looks like a male too.

@Shocks1776: Though I wouldn't mind seeing an actual constructive discussion regarding a first-person Zelda-series game (hey, sneaking through the Gerudo jail and popping off guards is fun :3) you've made it quite clear that you're not interested in any sort of 'honest' discussion about anything in this thread, When you're done trolling and flinging insults and are ready to contribute constructively, let me know, but for now i'm afraid it's time out.

Can we please get back to discussing the game, guys? :3

I'll be honest about it. I don't want a first person Zelda.

To get back to the subject of the new zelda. I don't know though why, but i want local multiplayer in the new Zelda. Don't how it will work though,maybe they can make something like battle mode.Where you fight random enemies in the game by yourself,or with a friend. I don't know but for me it sounds sort of good, who knows.

Yes!! He's going in the right direction!
