Is this still the reason why we didn't heard something about a new Zelda? You need to find clues in game and complete puzzles. I think it's just a WiiWare game that will come out later. It's a puzzle game for hardcore and non-hardcore gamers... Some images below:

Eventually they'll do just like the Mario games where, once they ran out of ideas, they had the good and bad guy team up against an even worse guy.

Something like The Adventures of Link and Gannon versus OJ Simpson. I'd buy it.

 

hope there will be an option to put away that hint screen... still if you have a long way to walk i would use the option that it does that itself...

but i wonder about the battle system i mean will that be automatic too ?
then would you NEVER be defeated (even with bosses)
cause that would $\/

 

It's an interesting concept, and it shows Nintendo are still very much trying to innovate the market. But if the next main Zelda entry is WiiWare, then so help me...
Oh, and they need to remember a mechanic as simple as this can't just carry the next Zelda. We're asking a lot, but there's needs to be even more innovation than this.

 

I like the idea in a way. I mean...what if I want to jump to a specific part of the game and I handily didn't keep a save before it? To use a PC example...Diablo II. There was a (rather hidden) way to start in any Act of the five in the game even with a new game, and you started with a general level and unspent skill and stat points. The highest you could get this way was level 33 in the last act of the game. Naturally, zero quests are done, and once you go back to the starting act, you're trapped until you progress normally, but as a whole, you're able to experience that Act without too much trouble (just that you're naked unfortunately).

Something like that wouldn't be too bad. I mean, it could be done in the terms of Zelda (spawn Link in a dungeon with all of the relevant equipment and a modest amount of Hearts/extra junk, like in a demo disc) and other games too. Just...maybe it'd be nice if you didn't get the full ending sequence if you skipped ahead. It'd be interesting if the entire story was removed, so it's like a "lite" version of the game.
