This would be awesome. Metroid Prime is absolutely brilliant (and was much better than the old games, imo). I'd love to see what they could do with Zelda.

I've heard good things about Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Prime was a impressive (even if it is over 9 (?!?!) years old.) It's not like they could pull a fast one on Nintendo; at the least I bet you'd get something interesting, provided it isn't overly crushed by oversight. Not that oversight is a bad thing, of course. |

I've always wanted the ultimate prequel. No heroes of time, no legends. The original Link that's just a guy from a village and some bandit named Ganon kidnaps Zelda and is trying to take this thing no one has of heard of called the triforce to gain access to some place called the Sacred Realm. Just a game that's the beginning of the legends. I mean, all legends start somewhere, right?

There's just one small, teeny issue: the original development team responsible for the Metroid Prime trilogy no longer work at Retro, and there's no words which can express how innovative this team was (exampled by their extraordinary use of the Wii remote's capability as well as the submersion of the franchise into the 3D world). I'm not saying Retro is a bad studio, but to lose such a creative team will impact this title. In an ironic twist of fate, just look what happened to the Zelda franchise when Miyamoto left the development side. I can only hope there's a return to the franchise's core (as TKoH says), but it isn't going to happen when the casual gamer still bitches the Water Temple is too hard. Now, let's take all this and apply it to the Wii U. R.I.P. Legend of Zelda. You served many fans over your illustrious life, so best die in a blaze of glory than a mountain of pity. |

- Metroid Prime (Retro) - Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (Silicon Knights) - Donkey Kong Country Returns (Retro) - Silent Hill Homecoming (Double Helix) - Silent HIll Shattered Memories (Climax) - Dead Rising 2 (Blue Castle Games) - Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (MercurySteam) All good games, all Western-developed entries in Japanese series. If Miyamoto has enough faith in Retro to share his baby with them, then I'm eager to see what they can come up with. To me, it's pretty rude to undermine the work of a good developer by saying "R.I.P. The Legend of Zelda." But hey, that's just me. |

Great news, when supervised by Nintendo they can do awesome games, both in the past (the Metroid Prime series) and in the present (Donkey Kong Country Returns, the tracks design in Mario Kart 7).
