I like Majora's Mask better.

^ Same as I do, hehe, but we got nothing to lose in this. :]

I hated TP and I loved OoT. I thought TP was going to be the second coming I bought it without a second thought, I popped it in and played it and said to myself what the hell is this? In short I disliked the who dog gameplay thing, and I really disliked the waggle, so yeah Eiji Aonuma please go back to the drawing board and give me a REAL successor to OoT, and dont stop until you do goddammit.

Aonuma is great. Good on him for wanting to best Ocarina of Time.

Sci-fi or full steampunk Zelda would be FASCINATING!

Wind Waker was an amazing experience. The last third of it was epic and, as a zelda fan, down right heartwarming.

Plus, I really did enjoy sailing.

Well if that's the case then he should have stopped after Wind Waker, the greatest Zelda, ney, the greatest game of all time.

As much as I love the games, sometimes I wish the Zelda series took itself a little more seriously and amped the difficulty up a few notches. That would be a good start I think to surpassing past expectations. Of course, this is a casual friendly Nintendo we're talking about... so that will never happen.

And call me mother fucking crazy, but it would be nice to see Zelda on a more powerful system. Then maybe we could see a truly MASSIVE and detailed world to explore instead feeling limited as they do at times. This too, will never happen though... which is why they should go back to 2D sprites ;-)

And not to mention the characters on WW are the most expressive I have ever seen in a videogame.

I really like Twilight and Phantom Hourglass. But he needs to keep trying!!

So if he actually makes a game that surpasses OoT, wouldn't that mean it would be the greatest game ever created???

I thought windwaker was pretty epic. How do you get better than Ocarina though? It's going to be hard. I hope he can do it.

Now thats dedication.

and who wins in the longrun? we doooooooo

Just do Wind Waker again with a motorized boat, bigger islands, and no fetch quest. That'd be enough for me.

I hope I never live to see a futuristic Zelda...

Steampunk Zelda? It's so crazy it just might work! There could be a nature over industry vibe that would justify Link riding his horse everywhere when better technology exists and some interesting steampunk machinery based puzzles.

I personally think that Wind Waker surpassed Ocarina. I just think that the fact that we had already played Ocarina when we played Wind Waker and Twilight hinders our ability to see that they are superior games.

I still think Wind Waker is better than Ocarina. Majora's Mask was brilliant, but also frustratingly difficult for me. As pretty as Twilight Princess looked, I didn't like it as much as Wind Waker. I wonder how much of the praise Ocarina gets is derived from the fact that we keep adding it to our top 100 list over and over again. Do we add it to the list because we like it, or do we like it because it's on the list? I certainly remember being bombarded by gaming magazines with praise for Ocarina when I was just getting started in gaming. Surely that has to have some influence, doesn't it?

He already made that game, it's called Majora's Mask, the only Zelda game after OoT that actually requires skill and thinking. Also, I never understand all the WW love on this site. Yes, its very pretty and has a great atmosphere, but sailing + too many stealth sequences + was never in danger of dying once + easy puzzles = fail in my book.

hmmm i always thhought he was the main man in just MM and TP....

gonna have to read up on this

Windwaker really was a great game, and I thought that twilight princess came veeery close to OoT, but I'm kinda glad it didn't cuz it gives us the promise of more and more hard work on the series instead of it just being marketed like how Nintendo does their consoles nowadays...

Well, let's see what he manages to do this time around with the actual Wii Zelda. Maybe they will actually achieve intuitive, fun and realistic sword-fighting in games, just like OoT made 3D action plausible. Afterall, let's face it, and I'm sorry steam-punk-zelda-wishers, Zelda is medieval by nature. Making it too different would be somewhat dumb. I'm all for a new IP with the setting and Zelda elements, but mixing too much lends to losing the spirit of things.

Somehow I wish the new Zelda was delayed so much that it would actually have to be released for the Wii 2, making it possible that the team lent to it thinking, effort and passion enough to make the true OoT surpasser. Such title that could only be achieved by promoting a gaming revolution just like OoT. Besides, it's not like we NEED a new Zelda every 3 years. The series is so adored and highly praised that it was, at least to me, taken to a different level. I'm willing to wait as long as it takes for a brilliant new Zelda that manages to present such greatness that really maskes it stand apart from anything else in the industry. Remember, there were 7 years beetwen A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time. 2011 seems a good time for a new Zelda, released a while after Wii 2.

In another interview of his it seemed as Twilight Princess was kind of a make-or-break for the company, with the risky release of the Wii and having its entire development cycle through the dim year of the withering GameCube. With enough money and time I believe he will be able to surpass OoT.

It's not like there are not portables and spin-offs to keep us occupied until then.

@MotoRobo

"Might as well release 1 a year "

Please don't tease. My poor little Zelda loving heart couldn't take all that awesome.

Wind Waker was already better than Ocarina. Mission accomplished!

I think wind waker may have been better than OoT, Same as TP. I get this warm feeling going to the village in windwaker and the cool visuals. TP just seemed so fresh, never playing a game like that..... Then again I was six when I played OoT....
