But Zelda will always be solid because of its dungeons, so I think the trick here would be employing new mechanics for dungeons. Perhaps non-linear dungeons with multiple methods of solving puzzles and progressing?

I'd definitely play that game.

Honestly the combat mechanics that you're describing is just Fable 2 except with Link instead of "Hero."

Which I would totally play.

Goddamnit, he showed up in one game made by another company and regarded as the greatest character ever made. Because he's a life-sized doll with guns for hands that sometimes shoots lasers. Where's his characterization? I can't understand why the heck people like him so much besides the fact that, YES, HE DOES MORE DAMAGE THAN EVERYONE ELSE WITH ONE OF HIS SKILLS.

Geno is serious business.

It was a hoax.

A hoax that I still bear scars from.

Kay, from all this I almost have to take your last post seriously. In which case, if you all need to draw a direct comparison to FF7 is an over industrialized world with a shitty view and a guy with a large sword who rides a motorcycle, you have issues.

That said, I'm putting trust in Zelda team and just going to go with the flow. It's not like they've been handing out horrendous titles like other companies, just comparatively stale ideas.

FF7'ing Zelda will kill the series as it'll prove that they COMPLETELY ran out of ideas. Besides... running around with a sword in the future is silly.

And running around with a lightsaber in the future isn't?

Nah, that was a LONG LONG TIME AGO, but somehow in the future. It's different. :)

I have yet to see what evidence there was for a 'steampunk' Zelda in that story that was given? Zelda has thus far represented high fantasy more than anything else, though there are cases of like, oh, 'lost technology' and all that in the games. I wouldn't mind it being steampunkish as long as magic seems to be the powering force of the technology. You know what I mean? No electricity or anything like that. If things run on steam it has to be from burning, uhh, magic rocks that release scads of it, mined from under, uhh, Death Mountain. It's NOT coal. It's NOT! Magic rocks! :)

It wasn't somehow in the future. It was in a galaxy far, far away, where I guess they must have more advanced technology.

There has been no support for Steampunk Zelda; there was just a picture in Not Yootoobs of fanart Steampunk Zelda, and a bunch of people realized, "Man, I would play the shit out of that."

And hell, if it's steampunk, it may as well be magic-based. Steampunk stuff generally wouldn't work in real life.

Being fair, I think you could change the Zelda universe to absolutely anything and provided you have tenuous connections everyone would start chanting 'I would play the shit out of that.'

To be the fair, the central story around tLoZ is that a boy named Link is reincarnated and kicks Ganandorfs ass. It's not like there isn't room for a steampunk or even future world in that. Not like Hyrule would stay in the fantasy realm for eternity.
