    IGN - Wii's Next Zelda Game

    In a new article, IGN lists what they hope to see in the newest title in the Legend of Zelda series. They bring up many good points such as the sword fighting mechanic, cel-shaded graphics, and voice acting. Check it out:
    Nintendo prides itself on creating games that simply play exceptionally well, but seldom do its titles, even those grand adventures, feature rich and compelling stories, particularly by today's standards. Although Link's journey to save princess Zelda has seen several unique variations over the years, it is usually still the same quest with new bells and whistles and it is partially because of this that titles like Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time feel so similar, whereas an all-new tale might have created a greater divide between the games. Case in point, you won't see any comparisons to director Eiji Aonuma's first N64 Zelda, Majora's Mask, for that dark and difficult title included an original storyline set outside of the traditional save-the-princess theme.

    "I would love to see a Zelda title that really takes story to the next level. Twilight Princess did a great job with storytelling -- more so than any other Zelda, I believe. I'd just like to see that taken a few steps further," says Kevin Cassidy, who operates the Nintendo website Go Nintendo. "We know that there are people on the Zelda team that would love to create a deep, rich story, but Miyamoto doesn't seem too fond of it. I think it's time to take the franchise in a more narrative direction. I think gamers can handle a Zelda with complex emotions, rather than on-the-surface responses."

    I agree with Kevin Cassidy. Get the gamer truly involved in Zelda. I loved Zelda as a kid and loved it for Nintendo 64. I have yet to pick it up for the Wii but it is on my list, especially if they are thinking about another one.
