Okamoto: Let me make a Zelda game Miyamoto: No. Okamoto: Ok, i'll make a rip off then Miyamoto: *panics* Okamoto: Makes TWO Zelda games at the end and almost a THIRD The madman.
It's almost like throwing the proposed Triforce trilogy at him was punishment for threatening him. "Oh, you want to make Zelda games THAT badly, do you?". And then of course Miyamoto had to swoop in and save them when they couldn't get it done.
Imagine you're trying the make the coolest sequel possible to a game you enjoyed working on, and then your boss comes downstairs and is like no. c r o s s b o w s.
Just so you know I believe the next Director after Aonuma could have been Yoshiaki Koizumi, he has been working for the Zelda franchise since A Link to the Past and he Co-directed the original Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask but his ideas about Zelda are in conflict with Aonuma’s who was at the time the person Nintendo chose to be Miyamoto’s successor, and that’s why the Director of Oracle of Seasons has that position now. Personally I would have preferred if Koizumi had been Miyamoto’s successor. He has directed great games besides Zelda: Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy, also he did Link’s Model for Soul Calibur 2. He created the original design of Ocarina of Time Link, so we can say that Soul Calibur 2 Link is how OOT Link is suppose to be.
The worst part is that we will never see it, sure Retro could try to revive it but even if they bring back all the people that were working at Retro at the time it would still be highly unlikely that the game would look anything like it would have back then (assuming it isn't filled with a lot of what I like to call "westernisms" that have been plauging western games this gen).
@@Phantom1op either it comes back as part of the Zelda series or even reimagined to be it's own thing, which could be possible. But yeah it seems like it's very unlikely at this point in time.
@@SpinyPuffs Well there was a time he once made better decisions but now not so much I respect him for who he once was but not for who he is now and unfortunately very few stand up to him these days with VERY FEW exceptions like the director of Super Mario Odyssey.
I appreciate Miyamoto's dedication to following a single concept to it's core. But I really wish he wasn't so restrictive on adding to them. An interesting story won't kill how fun a game is
Miyamotos been with Nintendo for so long, being hired during the days Nintendo was a toy manufacturer. So the idea of substance over style remains, and the toy maker mentality is prominent. Miyamoto is notoriously famous for eschewing story for gameplay, its the toy maker mindset.
If he wasn't like that he or Nintendo may not wouldn't be where they are now. I think people emotional focus on the times where the table flipping went badly and not when it worked. Double edge sword I really think if you go back in time and change those development issues Nintendo might not be around.
midna’s character arc in twilight princess 2 is her slowly coming to terms with the fact that she wants to turn back into a shortstack again & denying the shame & social stigma towards those desires
@@AuntBibby If I was writing it, I'd make it so that Link touches the triforce at the very begining of the game in the hopes of stopping Ganondorf from reincarnating, only to for it to end up teleporting him to Midna's throne room as an immortal wolf with no way to get back. I'd make Midna the playble character and have her and Wolf Link fight some new villian in the Twilight World. I got this stupid idea from the Wolf Link Amiibo in botw. It says Wolf Link returned to his own world whenever he leaves, so this rediculous idea would make that cannon. Assuming Midna is immortal, then Link would be stuck as Midna's pet wolf forever. It's so messed up that it's halarious. I always wanted to see someone touch the triforce and be granted some horribly warped version of some subconscious wish they weren't intending to have fufilled. He likely wants to see Midna again, and technically that scenario would result in him getting his wish.
@@malic_zarith if i was writing Twilight Princess 2 id take advantage of the fact that i was writing it and id make link get murdered by that bird prince from windwaker in the first 10 minutes of the game and then for the rest of the 30 hour campaign you play as Tingle, who finally started on hormone potion therapy and is using she/her pronouns now, and she dualwields the megaton hammer doing devil may cry combos wallbouncing moblins into super combos and shit, going from town to town mapping out routes and dungeons and selling the maps to cursed villagers who beg you to dispel the darkness spreading across the land and you're like "nah", and you have to use the touch screen to draw the maps yourself, and the online capability is used to have rival Tinglettes battle for map-selling territory like rival drug gangs and if you win then your opponents have to see your previously-sold maps showing up here and there sporadically in their gameworld permanently until they delete their gamesave because u won so you own their economic territory fair & square
@@Teneegaming I don't have any problems with the game, but it's obviously a game focused on a gimmick that everyone should've known would be forgotten after that generation was over. I think if Miyamoto had any foresight or self awareness, he would of known making a sequel to Twilight Princess would have been better idea, and it could of been something more focused and interesting like Majora's Mask.
@@emilys1418 I think the only person who said that was Miyamoto. You can't really blame the focus group though, they were just sat in front of a game and asked if they had fun or not.
@@Two-HeadedBoy i think Miyamoto knew exactly what he was doing. He managed to get good sales off a low budget game. Thats a success no matter how you look at it. People forget that Nintendo is a business, and sometimes creating a worse product for more money is a part of being a business.
The fact that a twilight princess sequel existed and was scrapped kills me a little inside... I hope they explore the idea again at some point. The twilight princess canon has a lot of potential.
@JalaΓious yeah, it is weird that they had entire concept art of Toon Link aging naturally over the course of Wind Waker and never thought to reuse it for the Wind Waker sequel.
"And that's the point - Not to make something sell, something very popular, but to love something, and make something that we creators can love. It's the very core feeling we should have in making games." - Miyamoto 1999; 9 years before he would make Link's Crossbow Training over a Twilight Princess sequel.
Jesse Jay Miyamoto is an actively harmful restraint these days. Any vision that he feels is even slightly differential from his babies (IPs) is anathema and must be axed. I don't like the expression, but he has because the boomer of Nintendo.
You're actually telling me there was going to be a Twilight Princess 2 and they canned that. The team has some incredible ideas, like the one following the "Link is defeated" timeline and using the last surviving Sheikah, with a much darker game similar to Majora's Mask, and they completely canceled it? What the heck Miyamoto?
@@TokoSauce it sucks that some of Mario games never got their own sequel like: Super Mario World, Mario 64, Mario RPG Snes etc. I mean how did Nintendo brought Starfox 2 wich was cancelled like 20 years ago? It doesn't make sense
You know... It's kind of a shame that the "clock kids" were never a thing in the end. I could see them working as something from a more Victorian, steampunk styled Zelda title, most likely set after Spirit Tracks.
@@bobafett4265 Well... I guess we'll have to see. Could even have it be set so many years after the events of BotW, to where the likes of Hyrule was at the dawn of its own industrial revolution. Could even have an interesting way to approach fire-arms in a Zelda game, with the bows being more puzzle related, whilst firearms could be more combat orientated, and useful for breaking certain things that bullets would be more suited for, than arrows. Possibly even have multiple threats with their own agendas, that you could choose who to prioritize first, whether it be the greedy, imperialistic beurecrats, that'd probably find their way into Hyrule's court, and are looking for any means to line their own pockets, an occult group, with some twisted ideas of essentially "bringing the balance back" in a way they favoured, and also a third group, that pretty much profitted off of the ensuing chaos, almost like a war profiteerer of sorts.
I was reading some old Nintendo Powers a little bit ago, and during the report for E3 around 2000 I saw a mention of the "Triforce Trilogy". I figured this either became the Oracle games or was scrapped completely. Nice to hear how it really went down.
I feel like it'll never happen, but my dream Zelda game is a remake of the Oracle games as a single title where you choose which land you go to first, Holodrum or Labrynna, and then play through them sequentially instead of using the password system. Once you beat them both, you'd unlock what would have been Seed of Courage and can go back to the other two to get whatever other content you would have from a linked game. Ostensibly Maple was supposed to have a bigger role in Seed of Courage, so I think it'd be neat if it turned out that "Oracle of Secrets" Farore wasn't actually the real Farore, she was just using the name, and Maple was the real third Oracle. I've heard some people suggest that the third Oracle would be Oracle of Light or Oracle of Hours, using a day/night cycle for puzzle solving in line with Seasons and Ages both being larger scale units of time. As Ages is more puzzle focused and Seasons is more action focused, I would ideally want Seed of Courage to be exploration focused, as that's the other major element of Zelda not yet represented and it fits best with the theme of Courage.
I’ve been watching DYKG for almost 10 years now. It was one of the first UA-cam subscriptions I had in high school. I live this channel and everything you guys do. Please never stop with the awesome information!
Second i saw the DS back in the day, I thought there was no way it wasnt going to get a port of FSA (or a sequel), the system seemed designed specifically for it. So sad it never happened.
@@OtherScott64 I remember being so excited for Triforce Heroes on 3DS because it looked like a third Four Swords game. I’m still disappointed to this day
DAMN I did not realize four swords anniversary edition was only available to download for such a short time!!! I transferred from my old DSi, but it’s on my 3DS still today! I didn’t play it very much but it was actually my very first introduction to Zelda before watching let’s plays of the N64 games in high school.
@Lyra Heartfold can confirm was avalible on both systems. I happened to have a Dsi and 3DS and made certain that my brother's 3Ds also got the game. My brother sold his 3DS for $300 because that game was on it.
4:55 i love miyamoto and appreciate all hes done for gaming but its kind of annoying when he imposes silly restrictions like this on his development teams :/
3:38 This isn't entirely true - many of TP's sales were primarily because it was a launch title for the Wii, which was selling like crazy. Many non-Zelda fans bought the game primarily because of this. I love TP (see my profile pic), not complaining or anything, just a little thing I wanted to add :)
@A Google User False, even months after the release it kept selling copies. It has some glaring negative sides but the content alone made people buy Twilight Princess and thats why it sold so well. Under your logic games like Super Mario 64 or Super Mario World sold many copies only because it was a launch title and not because the content of those games were entertaining so people were still buying it.
@@pvmeza4277 True. Being a launch title doesn't guarantee sales. Example: Pikmin It also doesn't even guarantee it will be remembered as a system exclusive. Examples: Killzone Shadow Fall, Knack, Ryse Son of Rome
@@HellYeahTenguFormat See Andre Coraza reply, being a launch title doesn't guarantee its going to be a big seller. People bought the game because they liked the content and spreaded the word about it and thats why it sold well.
That's kinda why the US and Europe (but especially the US) sometimes have a disproportionate impact on the direction Mario and Zelda take. Home consoles, traditionally, haven't sold as well in Japan as they have overseas; either in gross or even when adjusting to the different population sizes.
@@LeRoiEnJaune Yes, it should be noted the Gamecube was especially a low point, the Wii for instance did triple what the Gamecube did. 12 million in Japan was still a lot less than it could have been given that Famicom did 20 million in Japan, yet Wii outsold NES massively in the West. I was more saying, the way the video phrased it, it almost seemed like they were saying per install base Zelda is more popular in the US, or in general it is a less popular series, which may be true, but it also had a lot to do with the fact that there were just far more people in the West to buy it in the first place. Of course with Switch selling the way it is in Japan, it becomes a bit more clear Zelda and 3D Mario are more popular in the West, given the install bases are a lot closer. Even if BoTW is the best selling Zelda game in Japan of all time.
4:14 ugh I Know what a let down. At the end of Twilight Princess you could actually see Link leaving Ordon Village and 2007 me was so psyched for a potential sequel :(
Thank you so much for not only reaching out to Inti Creates, but also Nintendo, in the hopes that the two can communicate and make a Zelda 2 remake! You guys are awesome!
Agreed; as a game it's only real misstep is the Triforce pieces portion of the game, everything else is pretty solid. The style of exploration is different from its predecessors, but I wouldn't describe that as a negative per se.
I remember being mad it at because at the time, all anyone cared about was how good games looked on the xbox and the ps2. And everyone I knew laughed at the gamecube talking about how weak it was..and then we got windwaker..
Does it shock anyone else to hear that the idea of a "Dark Timeline" as in a failed timeline of the end of OOT, not only existed in 2009 but existed enough that even Retro knew about it? Just how far back did the timeline fully get ironed out
The fact they almost created a Zelda FPS with multiplayer kind of blows my mind but I'm also kinda glad they scrapped that idea and instead made a new IP for Nintendo to have a shooter (Splatoon).
I'd love to see a Zelda game with guns and a Mature rating. Nintendo keeps forgetting that the people who grew up on the NES, Super NES, Game Boy, and Nintendo 64 games are now adults.
@@DarDarBinks1986 bro Zelda with guns is a horrible idea. It ruins the entire story. Like why would Link try to stab Ganon when he can just blow him up? Its a stupid idea.
For me, I think of the Oracle duology, because they're very hard to legally access and very little people in the community have played them, so they get little attention. Zelda II is at least playable on Nintendo Switch, but I do agree that it could very much use a remake, what with its infamous gameplay.
@@TokoSauce Zelda 2 and the Oracle games are indeed the games that need a remake the most. The Oracle games because they're the other GB Zelda games so they can re-use the Link's Awakening Remake engine, the games are hard to play these days without emulating, (though they're avalible on the 3DS eShop) and not many Zelda fans have played it. Zelda 2 needs a remake because it's the Zelda game with the most potential, has incredibly unique gameplay that could have been super fun if your sword was just a bit longer, and has the fairy spell. 😍😍😍🍆💦
@@dragtogo2735 I liked it, myself. But I also think if Inti Creates is the one in charge of the Zelda 2 remake, they would understand what it takes to do the game justice.
All of the toon link games were the gateway to zelda for me. Started with wind waker, couldn't put down phantom hour glass, explored every railroad track in spirit tracks. As a kid those games were life changing and I'm so happy they exist alongside all of the other amazing zelda games
@@yohanan713 Miyamoto deserves all the respect and credit but he's responsible for so much bullshit it boggles the mind, I'm so glad Aounuma is in charge of Zelda now but even that is at risk if Miyamoto in still around, and don't even get me started on Mario
@@pvmeza4277 He also didn't mention a game where the Four Sword itself was still involved as a key plot point, since you wanna be a smartass about a joke that took no effort to make on my part.
Some of my favorite Zelda experiences were on Four Sword Adventure for GameCube. If you can ever hunt down the game, the GBAs, and the link cables, you're in for an amazing experience.
I didn't realize Four Swords Anniversary Edition was so uncommon, that was literally the only Zelda game I got to play for the longest time because it was a free download on the DSi eshop. It's still on my DSi, too. And I still have never beaten it, over a decade later.
If someone I looked up to like that acknowledge me and praised my hard work I'd cry too, seeing that man cry made me feel so happy for him that I wanted to cry too, I'm glad he got acknowledged by Shigaru
As a huge fan of the Oracle games, that Capcom director who threatened Miyamoto was a badass, although slightly diminished since he needed him to personally come save the project. Sad we never got the 3rd entry, or even much concept material for it.
The email was the interview, which he wants us to publish in full -- which we''ll do at a later date. He wants it made public and read by as many people as possible, so I assumed he's not trying to keep it a secret from Nintendo.
"Quit worrying about the main series, do the crossbow thing!" "Okay, how about a Crossbow Training 2?" "Quit worrying about the crossbow thing, work on the main series!" If I knew somebody acted like that, they would be an easy "oops" at a busy intersection crossing.
Are you... threatening Miyamoto? A) Please don't joke about killing a legend. B) If you keep that up, he might put you in charge of creating the next couple of Zelda games.
I remember seeing one point and time some concept art from Nintendo on a game that took place before Wind Waker and the Great Flood and was going to be more realistic looking. Never realized how many times Devs tried to get real experimental with Zelda. Hoping some of these could one day return. Especially the Twilight Princess sequel
@@AzureRoxe I don't see a problem in wanting a beloved game series from my childhood to add a character based on one of my favorite actors who also shared the love for the same series. Do I need to play it to understand the mutual respect? I am married with 3 children, I wish I could have more time to sit down and enjoy a long game session like I used to in the past, but until my kids are a little older I would like to spend more time with them instead of playing games. Is that wrong?
You know where that Zelda 2 remake for the SNES ended? It became Ocarina of Time. Seriously, if you look at OoT, you'll see it has several elements from Adventure of Link, not unlike Oracle of Seasons recycles bosses and dungeon layouts from Zelda 1. According to this video, the alleged AoL remake would use polygons, therefore it makes sense that once Nintendo started developing the N64, the 3D Zelda project was moved to the upcoming console. Then, you have to look no further than the earliest N64 footage we ever got: from the Shoshinkai 95, we were shown a brief video of what was then called "Zelda 64"; and if you pay attention, you'll notice that the Link in the footage is no other than AoL Link (brown hair, also brown pants and sleeves, same haircut), Finally, the released game features Iron Knuckles instead of the more common Darknut, while also recycling Volvagia from Zelda 2. Oh, and do you know where did the Sages from OoT got their names? Yup: Mido (not Saria, though), Darunia, Ruto, Nabooru, and Rauru are all town names originated in AoL. Thus, even if the final game bears no resemblance to Adventure of Link and plays closer to A Link to the Past, it does have deep roots in Zelda 2.
As a huge Zelda fan, it does feel like a punch in the gut to hear about all these games that could have been, but I know that bits and pieces of these canceled projects live on in some form. As far as Twilight Princess 2 goes, I do believe that something like that eventually became Skyward Sword in terms of the mechanics that may have been used for it. I still think it would be really cool to have a direct sequel in that world.
agreed. I honestly want a game with that art style and grandiose music. Breath of the wild is great but twilight princess had a different atmosphere that was just as enjoyable
@@firesnakex8 don’t worry, we will get a sequel to twilight princess, if not spiritual successor. If a Link to the Past can get a sequel almost 20 years after its release, then anything is possible.
It's hilarious that people judged Wind Waker as kiddy because it was cel-shaded, considering that other than BotW, it had the most darkest world/story. It's a post-apocalyptic world where countless people literally drowned.
It's funny that they talk about Zelda and the four Swords, I end up getting a copy of the game for GameCube, Gameboy Advance, cables, guide and a shirt from Nintendo's magazine at that time😅 However I only still have the shirt the other stuff was stolen😢
It's so frustrating that Wind Waker 2 got cancelled cuz once everyone calmed the fuck down after Twilight Princess came out and the whiners actually got around to playing Wind Waker, it's now one of the most beloved of the franchise and it would probably be a huge seller. I ALWAYS hated how everyone complained about the look of it. It had some of the most interesting concepts and the style was beautiful and it sucks we never got another 3D toon link outside of smash.
I'm not sure how you could call Link's Crossbow Training "working." It got a 68% on Metacritic and it's pretty much universally considered mediocre at best.
Look up the story behind Dinosaur Planet and how it was inexplicably turned into a Star Fox game. Miyamoto's decision there did not do that game any favors. It's too bad too, because there are hints of how great that game could have been still in there.
I was lucky enough to download the Four Swords anniversary addition for 3DS (though the console it's on has unfortunately been misplaced). The multiplayer is actually a LOT fun, especially with all four people, and it's a legitimate shame that it's unobtainable now. It really would be the ideal game to port over/remake, with how the Switch emphasizes connectivity and portability.
I got/still have the four swords anniversary edition on my ds and my brothers and I played the shit out of it. I absolutely loved the four swords games and I'm sad it never got more love. We actually replayed the gamecube version a couple of years ago after finding our old sp's and it was just as fun as I remembered it.
Tbh I'm REALLY hoping that with the redesigned Links Awakening they did on Switch, we'll get the Oracle games..maybe this time, with the better hardware, we'll FINALLY get the third game with Farore. I think it would be a real cool announcement next year for the LoZ anniversary along with a Switch port of Skyward Sword.
I actually ended up being one of the lucky zelda fans to get the four swords anniversary edition on my nintendo 3ds, currently have it sitting on my 2ds xl, been passing it from ds to ds in hopes I find someone else who had it!
You know, as a big Zelda fan, I used to idolize Miyamoto when I was younger but as I've grown up, I kept hearing more and more and more about the man and good god... Of course, I've little knowledge of the inner workings of video game development over at Nintendo but it really does sound like Miyamoto stifles a lot of creativity. Paper Mario is another series I very much enjoyed (first three games, at least) and I also heard that the uh... direction it took, was at least partly due to Shiggy here.
Marin doesn't even exist. She's just a figment of the Ocean King's dream. That's the whole tragety of it. In the no-death ending, Marin is reincarnated as a seagull, but that's actually what she WANTED, as stated in her sidequest. It's basically her dream to be a seagull, though I would rather like to see Marin become a mermaid. 😏
@@krimsonkatt Dreams don't become seagull! That make it seem like it was MORE than "just" a dream and that they did exist because the wind fish (not the ocean king that's phantom hourglass you messed that up.) has magic sentient super dreams.
@@tattertot8259 I forgot the name of the wind fish and the Ocean King and the Wind Fish are the same anyways so it doesn't matter. (Aren't they brothers or something?)
@@tattertot8259 The Wind Fish used it's god powers to take Marin's imaginary counciousness from the dream and place it in the body of a seagull. Marin wasn't real, but Marin was remembered by the Wind Fish and Link, so her counciousness was able to be recovered from Link's memories of her. Koholit Island wasn't a real place. It was all imaginary. The Hyrule Historia, Hyrule Encyclopedia, original GB game, GBC re-release, and NS remake all state this.
You know how bad OoT graphics have aged when you hear that OoT looked more realistic than WW graphics, WW it's more cartoony but has aged really well imo
...you know, I don't see any particular reason why "Adult Toon Link" isn't something that could happen. I'm just imagining a Link with a look more similar to any of the innumerable adults in the various games with the Toon art style, and I'm sure it'd turn out great.
Wow. They really took down the Pac-Man video with Billy Mitchel after it got that much hate. They should have just known not to even upload that shit in the first place.
So, you're telling me that at some point we were going to have a TP sequel, with Majora's Mask style, in the TP map, with the Wii power, and then a Wild Miyamoto appeared and said "Fuck no, lets use the zapper instead, yeah thats a great idea haha i'm a genius".... Ugh, sometimes i want to meet Miyamoto and give him a hug, and then sometimes i want to meet Miyamoto and punch him in the face...
After watching this video, I feel lucky that we even got Majora's Mask. They could've cancelled that game so easily if they wanted to.

Imagine being the focus group that were tricked into inadvertently canceling Twilight Princess 2 for some dumb Wii zapper game.
I didn't even know that game had that much content. played it a few times, and dropped it. (The wiimote was never very good for precision.)
Probably the same group of idiots that said they didn’t care about the story in Super Paper Mario
@@Teneegaming I don't have any problems with the game, but it's obviously a game focused on a gimmick that everyone should've known would be forgotten after that generation was over. I think if Miyamoto had any foresight or self awareness, he would of known making a sequel to Twilight Princess would have been better idea, and it could of been something more focused and interesting like Majora's Mask.
@@emilys1418 I think the only person who said that was Miyamoto. You can't really blame the focus group though, they were just sat in front of a game and asked if they had fun or not.
@@Two-HeadedBoy i think Miyamoto knew exactly what he was doing. He managed to get good sales off a low budget game. Thats a success no matter how you look at it. People forget that Nintendo is a business, and sometimes creating a worse product for more money is a part of being a business.
The fact that a twilight princess sequel existed and was scrapped kills me a little inside... I hope they explore the idea again at some point. The twilight princess canon has a lot of potential.

You know... It's kind of a shame that the "clock kids" were never a thing in the end. I could see them working as something from a more Victorian, steampunk styled Zelda title, most likely set after Spirit Tracks.
@prickly pear true it could comeback by tying into the events of BotW if Nintendo felt committed to actually make it a reality.
@@bobafett4265 Well... I guess we'll have to see. Could even have it be set so many years after the events of BotW, to where the likes of Hyrule was at the dawn of its own industrial revolution.
Could even have an interesting way to approach fire-arms in a Zelda game, with the bows being more puzzle related, whilst firearms could be more combat orientated, and useful for breaking certain things that bullets would be more suited for, than arrows.
Possibly even have multiple threats with their own agendas, that you could choose who to prioritize first, whether it be the greedy, imperialistic beurecrats, that'd probably find their way into Hyrule's court, and are looking for any means to line their own pockets, an occult group, with some twisted ideas of essentially "bringing the balance back" in a way they favoured, and also a third group, that pretty much profitted off of the ensuing chaos, almost like a war profiteerer of sorts.
Valley of the Flood?
I was reading some old Nintendo Powers a little bit ago, and during the report for E3 around 2000 I saw a mention of the "Triforce Trilogy". I figured this either became the Oracle games or was scrapped completely. Nice to hear how it really went down.
I feel like it'll never happen, but my dream Zelda game is a remake of the Oracle games as a single title where you choose which land you go to first, Holodrum or Labrynna, and then play through them sequentially instead of using the password system. Once you beat them both, you'd unlock what would have been Seed of Courage and can go back to the other two to get whatever other content you would have from a linked game. Ostensibly Maple was supposed to have a bigger role in Seed of Courage, so I think it'd be neat if it turned out that "Oracle of Secrets" Farore wasn't actually the real Farore, she was just using the name, and Maple was the real third Oracle. I've heard some people suggest that the third Oracle would be Oracle of Light or Oracle of Hours, using a day/night cycle for puzzle solving in line with Seasons and Ages both being larger scale units of time. As Ages is more puzzle focused and Seasons is more action focused, I would ideally want Seed of Courage to be exploration focused, as that's the other major element of Zelda not yet represented and it fits best with the theme of Courage.
I seriously hope they remake them in the style of the new link's awakening.
It would be soooo perfect
That dark timeline game actually looks amazing

It has some glaring negative sides but the content alone made people buy Twilight Princess and thats why it sold so well.

2:19 I mean... it's not like Wind Waker did super well in Japan considering only about 4 million GameCubes were sold there.
That's kinda why the US and Europe (but especially the US) sometimes have a disproportionate impact on the direction Mario and Zelda take. Home consoles, traditionally, haven't sold as well in Japan as they have overseas; either in gross or even when adjusting to the different population sizes.
@@LeRoiEnJaune Yes, it should be noted the Gamecube was especially a low point, the Wii for instance did triple what the Gamecube did. 12 million in Japan was still a lot less than it could have been given that Famicom did 20 million in Japan, yet Wii outsold NES massively in the West.
I was more saying, the way the video phrased it, it almost seemed like they were saying per install base Zelda is more popular in the US, or in general it is a less popular series, which may be true, but it also had a lot to do with the fact that there were just far more people in the West to buy it in the first place.
Of course with Switch selling the way it is in Japan, it becomes a bit more clear Zelda and 3D Mario are more popular in the West, given the install bases are a lot closer. Even if BoTW is the best selling Zelda game in Japan of all time.
4:14 ugh I Know what a let down. At the end of Twilight Princess you could actually see Link leaving Ordon Village and 2007 me was so psyched for a potential sequel :(

Best looking game of that generation
Agreed; as a game it's only real misstep is the Triforce pieces portion of the game, everything else is pretty solid. The style of exploration is different from its predecessors, but I wouldn't describe that as a negative per se.
@@ireplytoeverything3122 not the BEST looking but it is beautiful

@JalaΓious n0, majoras mask is better
Does it shock anyone else to hear that the idea of a "Dark Timeline" as in a failed timeline of the end of OOT, not only existed in 2009 but existed enough that even Retro knew about it? Just how far back did the timeline fully get ironed out
They forgot to talk about the recent Gigaleaks where a sprite sheet of a Link in sideway perspective appears
It's too bad they scrapped "The Legend of Zelda: Modern Warfare."
The fact they almost created a Zelda FPS with multiplayer kind of blows my mind but I'm also kinda glad they scrapped that idea and instead made a new IP for Nintendo to have a shooter (Splatoon).
I'd love to see a Zelda game with guns and a Mature rating. Nintendo keeps forgetting that the people who grew up on the NES, Super NES, Game Boy, and Nintendo 64 games are now adults.

@@DarDarBinks1986 bro Zelda with guns is a horrible idea. It ruins the entire story. Like why would Link try to stab Ganon when he can just blow him up? Its a stupid idea.
Of all the Zelda games, the Zelda II is the first one that comes to mind for one that NEEDS a remake. Hopefully that day will eventually come...
I prefer not looking like Metroid 2 Return of Samus on the 3DS because that looked ugly.
For me, I think of the Oracle duology, because they're very hard to legally access and very little people in the community have played them, so they get little attention. Zelda II is at least playable on Nintendo Switch, but I do agree that it could very much use a remake, what with its infamous gameplay.
@@TokoSauce Zelda 2 and the Oracle games are indeed the games that need a remake the most. The Oracle games because they're the other GB Zelda games so they can re-use the Link's Awakening Remake engine, the games are hard to play these days without emulating, (though they're avalible on the 3DS eShop) and not many Zelda fans have played it. Zelda 2 needs a remake because it's the Zelda game with the most potential, has incredibly unique gameplay that could have been super fun if your sword was just a bit longer, and has the fairy spell. 😍😍😍🍆💦

As a huge fan of the Oracle games, that Capcom director who threatened Miyamoto was a badass, although slightly diminished since he needed him to personally come save the project.
Sad we never got the 3rd entry, or even much concept material for it.

"I threatened him [Miyamoto]"

The fact that we could have gotten a twilight princess sequel but got a small forgetful game broke my heart
Lol.
I know people are upset they didn't get Twilight Princess 2 but I'm just shocked how Link's Crossbow Training sold more than Wind Waker.
I love how Windwaker was panned when it first came out, then when they made an HD port for a newer system, it was practically Game Of The Year.
Did you even ask the guy for permission to send the email?
The email was the interview, which he wants us to publish in full -- which we''ll do at a later date. He wants it made public and read by as many people as possible, so I assumed he's not trying to keep it a secret from Nintendo.
And on this episode of "Miyamoto screws up another cool idea because Miyamoto has the power to say no".
"Quit worrying about the main series, do the crossbow thing!"
"Okay, how about a Crossbow Training 2?"
"Quit worrying about the crossbow thing, work on the main series!"
If I knew somebody acted like that, they would be an easy "oops" at a busy intersection crossing.
Are you... threatening Miyamoto?
A) Please don't joke about killing a legend.
B) If you keep that up, he might put you in charge of creating the next couple of Zelda games.
Isn't that essentially what happened to Gunpei Yokoi?
I remember seeing one point and time some concept art from Nintendo on a game that took place before Wind Waker and the Great Flood and was going to be more realistic looking. Never realized how many times Devs tried to get real experimental with Zelda. Hoping some of these could one day return. Especially the Twilight Princess sequel

You know where that Zelda 2 remake for the SNES ended? It became Ocarina of Time.
Seriously, if you look at OoT, you'll see it has several elements from Adventure of Link, not unlike Oracle of Seasons recycles bosses and dungeon layouts from Zelda 1. According to this video, the alleged AoL remake would use polygons, therefore it makes sense that once Nintendo started developing the N64, the 3D Zelda project was moved to the upcoming console.
Then, you have to look no further than the earliest N64 footage we ever got: from the Shoshinkai 95, we were shown a brief video of what was then called "Zelda 64"; and if you pay attention, you'll notice that the Link in the footage is no other than AoL Link (brown hair, also brown pants and sleeves, same haircut), Finally, the released game features Iron Knuckles instead of the more common Darknut, while also recycling Volvagia from Zelda 2. Oh, and do you know where did the Sages from OoT got their names? Yup: Mido (not Saria, though), Darunia, Ruto, Nabooru, and Rauru are all town names originated in AoL.
Thus, even if the final game bears no resemblance to Adventure of Link and plays closer to A Link to the Past, it does have deep roots in Zelda 2.
As a huge Zelda fan, it does feel like a punch in the gut to hear about all these games that could have been, but I know that bits and pieces of these canceled projects live on in some form.
As far as Twilight Princess 2 goes, I do believe that something like that eventually became Skyward Sword in terms of the mechanics that may have been used for it. I still think it would be really cool to have a direct sequel in that world.
agreed. I honestly want a game with that art style and grandiose music. Breath of the wild is great but twilight princess had a different atmosphere that was just as enjoyable
@@firesnakex8 don’t worry, we will get a sequel to twilight princess, if not spiritual successor. If a Link to the Past can get a sequel almost 20 years after its release, then anything is possible.

Just finished my collection of every Zelda game except Zelda's Adventure CDI this month, Nice seeing about other games that weren't released.
It's hilarious that people judged Wind Waker as kiddy because it was cel-shaded, considering that other than BotW, it had the most darkest world/story. It's a post-apocalyptic world where countless people literally drowned.
I still have the Anniversary edition from way back when on my N3DSXL. A lovely game.
It's funny that they talk about Zelda and the four Swords, I end up getting a copy of the game for GameCube, Gameboy Advance, cables, guide and a shirt from Nintendo's magazine at that time😅
However I only still have the shirt the other stuff was stolen😢
It's so frustrating that Wind Waker 2 got cancelled cuz once everyone calmed the fuck down after Twilight Princess came out and the whiners actually got around to playing Wind Waker, it's now one of the most beloved of the franchise and it would probably be a huge seller. I ALWAYS hated how everyone complained about the look of it. It had some of the most interesting concepts and the style was beautiful and it sucks we never got another 3D toon link outside of smash.
The more I watch this series the more I realize how much Miyamoto takes over and does something seemingly stupid, yet somehow, it always works.
its almost like he knows what he is doing, even if it doesn't seem wise to everyone else though Nintendo is making bank
I'm not sure how you could call Link's Crossbow Training "working." It got a 68% on Metacritic and it's pretty much universally considered mediocre at best.
Look up the story behind Dinosaur Planet and how it was inexplicably turned into a Star Fox game. Miyamoto's decision there did not do that game any favors. It's too bad too, because there are hints of how great that game could have been still in there.
@@misterbadguy7325 And it sold like hotcakes. Miyamoto takes the W.
I was lucky enough to download the Four Swords anniversary addition for 3DS (though the console it's on has unfortunately been misplaced). The multiplayer is actually a LOT fun, especially with all four people, and it's a legitimate shame that it's unobtainable now. It really would be the ideal game to port over/remake, with how the Switch emphasizes connectivity and portability.
I got/still have the four swords anniversary edition on my ds and my brothers and I played the shit out of it. I absolutely loved the four swords games and I'm sad it never got more love. We actually replayed the gamecube version a couple of years ago after finding our old sp's and it was just as fun as I remembered it.

You know, as a big Zelda fan, I used to idolize Miyamoto when I was younger but as I've grown up, I kept hearing more and more and more about the man and good god... Of course, I've little knowledge of the inner workings of video game development over at Nintendo but it really does sound like Miyamoto stifles a lot of creativity. Paper Mario is another series I very much enjoyed (first three games, at least) and I also heard that the uh... direction it took, was at least partly due to Shiggy here.
Same here. It's heartbreaking.
