					<description>the 2d version of zelda has been done. its called graal online and still around. was once a simple adventure game like zelda for the snes and was actuially called zeldaonline before it had to change the world and sprites to thier own. i played it back when it was free and it was awsome, but now they have added so much complexe engines and ideas that it is nothing like zelda anymore. used to be able to pk people just for the heck of it. now they have races genders exp and way too many guilds and what not. its also not free anymore and i think it absolutly blows. as for a 3d mmo for zelda the only way you could pull it off without it getting shut down by nintendo is to ask and hope to god they would agree to let you make it and give them probably all money earned from it to them and them alone and to not stray from the original story or put your own ideas in. it would strictly have to be zelda content from other games only. also as far as the race thing going sounds nice for different races but when you get too complicated it gets retarded fast. i think there should be different races but they should all have the same abilities and strengths. such as gorons and zoras using armor and weapons and the basic slash combos and item usages. there shouldnt be any items pretaining to links hero destiny such as dins fire cause that was for link and link alone. if anything there should be 1 special skill per race such as unlimited swimming for zoras and fire protection for gorons, and if you do it correctly then this game will be nothing like other mmos. trying to sit there and say add this from wow and that from fable isnt going to work. zelda is its own gameplay and to change that at all would not make it a zelda mmo it would make it wow or fable with nintendo characters. altho one thing i really thjink could work is when you make a race they shoulkd all start out as neutral seeing how some games have certain races being good then bad in others and vice versa. it should be completly new and have original content to not step on nintendos feet. such as oot maps having new npcs to not give out quests but interact with to do tasks for rewards. as for getting stronger you should have to earn your hearts with hero/villian status points. hp is for mmorpgs this is an advbenture game. based on how well you perform in an adventure you should get status points with your home town and when your hero status goes up you can return to your town to train at a place kind of like in wind waker when you trained at your island. as far as i know nintendo will never let this happen. the only thing i think they would do with the wii is make a 3d zelda game trhats like the 4 sowrds where you do a random matchup with people doing the same area as you. as far as mmo i believe that it will never happen and if it does happen it would need to be done so the right way and not just have things thrown in from other games. as for dungeons and such and what the storylkine would be it couldnt possibly be the same storyline that link has. he already saved the world. maybe it could be purging the world of the evil that was left by ganons army after link defeated him. and going into dungeons would find overgrown versions fo the enemies that dwell there. helping people rebuild after the scasre of ganon conquering them and as far as evil races go being playabe it sounds fun biut i just dsont see there being any content for it. what you go to kokiri and slay them? there is no way to incorporate an evil class into the game seeing how the game only has things for good characters to do. so that makes my pooint earlier of starting off nuetral being unreachable. just do us all a favor and quit whining about it because there is more to it then just pasting zelda characters on another game or throwing all the worlds together to let people run around aimlessly. give it up and if it happens it will benintendo that makes it</description>

					<description>i think that it should have things that make u small so you can see the minish, and quests so you can go dive to the zora people.... you should also be abel to choose your race,,, and be costomize-able, like if u were a subrosian u could change your cloak's color... also it wouldbe reat if you could choose good or bad by a test of actions at the begining, like some one drops a pot- do u dive and save it (good) say &quot;oh em gee thats sad&quot;(neutral) or sit and laugh (evil)..... u should get jobs... quests for otems depending on your race... a story, but rpg style so it never has to end, maybe even a wife or husband, maybe growing age. idk, i think it would b fun... P.S. it would be impossible to skrew up if its a zelda game!!!</description>

					<description>The three ideas that keep coming back to me about this are:
1) maplestory - well balanced real time fighting as well as platforming and group questing. Just take out the forced character build, and make it more like...
2) runescape - quite literally, the only limitation to doing something is your own skill level, but you can train any skill any time.
3) diablo - can't believe this didn't come up alongside WoW, but w/e. The way the &quot;acts&quot; are set up is awesome for a story driven game.

Now take all that and add it to the &quot;Zelda framework&quot; (completing dungeons to collect items that collectively allow access to ganon's tower.)

My final verdict is that the game should not &quot;technically&quot; be an MMO, but more like oblivion (The Elder Scrolls IV) where there is a hugely epic storyline, but players can choose to follow or ignore it at their own leisure.</description>

					<description>I think they should make a Zelda MMORPG, BUT, like someone said before me, it has to be just the races, no major characters, like the the Zelda background character lore, no major important characters such as, Link, Zelda, Navi, Ganon/Ganondorf, Durami, etc...  But yeah I would play it, I'm a fan of WoW, and other MMOs so I would play it most definently!</description>

					<description>I think that they should make the MMORPG so that players can play as any race (I especially look forward to playing as a Zora or a Twili) because if nintendo keeps forcing the player to play as the same character it will feel redundant and dull, if they allow players to play as any race they will attract new players and add more variety to their games</description>
