| A friend told me that Minish Cap is the last top-down style Zelda game. Do you guys know if this is true? I suppose it'd be a relife in some places as not to have anymore Zelda games not take full advantage of the system. If they were to make a Four Swords DS I'd cry out of horror. No more top-down means 3-D Zelda for the DS! Although their would be some disadvantages. Classic style never dies. I guess it'd be sad to see the end of top-down Zelda. It would kill the GBA Zelda franchise. We'd have to get our 2-D Zelda fix from eBay or ROMs. Prolly just a rumor about no more top-down Zelda games. Even if it is, I just hope that Nintendo will keep 2-D for the GBA and 3-D for DS... Although a Four Swords might be cool... =P Snika (edited by Snika on 06-14-05 04:39 AM) |

| I love 2D games, and don't really like 3D games at all...it's sad that more and more companies are abandoning 2D entirely. I grew up with 2D (specifically, the NES). There's still Zelda Classic and the many quests made with it, but that's just not the same... |

| Ok! And you could also take a look at those great Zelda III hacks that are currently being worked on.  As for myself, I think the DS version of Zelda will in fact be 2D. But we'll see that sometimes next year I guess. |

Yeah, I thought I remember hearing the Zelda DS game will be top down also.  I hope it is, I've always prefered Zelda games to be in the top down fashion. |

| Was four swords 3D? Nope... it wasn't. Infact I bet that 2D games will start returning with time again. I doubt they stop with top-down zelda althought i'm not too surprised if they make it with a few 3D effects. |

| You never know, it could just have some "3D Dungeons" or something. Don't forget LA had those sidescrolling moments, and even the bonus dungeon for LA DX that was entirely sidescrolling, from what I've heard. (edited by Xeomega on 06-14-05 11:21 AM) |

| Parts of the Oracle games were side-scrolling...and those areas in Zelda 1 where you find some of the items in dungeons, but I don't think those count. Yeah, it's very possible that there will be a "2D Revival" of sorts at some point in the future. A lot of the 2D games are still very popular. |

| Unless LADX has more than one bonus dungeon, then no, it wasn't side-scrolling. |

| The Link's Awakening areas weren't really side-scrolling... I mean, they were but they weren't really different from the transition areas in Legend of Zelda. ...Aside from the fact they housed Goombas and Piranha Plants.  |

| I guess a 2-D Zelda game for the DS is going to happen, but I wish Nintendo would at least release an Ocarina of Time remake. I'm really partial to the 3-D Zelda games 'caz thats what I grew up with before I even knew about the old Zelda games. =P Snika |

| Ok! What would be the use of an Ocarina of Time remake on DS? It would always be worse than the origina due to the lack of analog control. They'd better make a complete new 3D Zelda game for DS that was created for the handheld's unique features. |

| Well, lack of analog control isn't entirely bad if executed right. The remake of Super Mario 64 was perfect! It's so much easier than using a D-Pad while playing the Super Mario 64 ROM. The Zelda coming for the DS won't be a Four Swords game (which I'm thankful for,) but I havn't heard anything about being 2D or 3D. I love both, really. But if it's a 2D game, they'd have to have a huge side-quest (like collection shards in Minnish Cap) to keep the game long. Minnish Cap was short, but did last quite a long time. | |||

SM64DS sucked.  They changed stupid things like putting a floor in Tick Tock Clock and a gate at the end of the slide in Tall Tall Mountain, thus ruining several aspects of the game.Originally posted by Snika A much, much longer remake.  |

Maybe if the remake was MQ, it might be sort of worth it. I just am getting tired of how remakes are. Mario Advanced's series ruined that magic for me, and showed me that they do not know how to do it right. If they remade a Harvest Moon game (not like they did on the GBA  ), or another game that was so much fun for a long time, I would be happy. But they need to do it right, and a Zelda game wouldn't be an exception! |

| Top down Zelda games are here to stay. As long as the fans show a great enough desire and a definitive niche for purchasing them...Then I suppose that they will continue to be developed and sold. |

| Same thing with Metroid, and that's why a new 2D one's in development for the DS. And it'll probably be the same thing with Castlevania, at least on portable consoles. 2D likely isn't going to die... it may well become a gaming niche, but there will always be games which are better when executed in 2D. And as long as people keep buying the games like Ziff said, the genre can still survive for a little while. |

Originally posted by Xeomega Zelda II: Adventure of Link (NES) had 'those sidescrolling moments'. Originally posted by Scatterheart I, unfortunatly, found The Minish Cap to be very short. Although it was a great game, I felt that it needed more than 4 main dungeons. While playing, I was hoping for some sort 'Dark World'-esque thing where you get the 4 essences, and then you get 'warped' to an alternate world and have to get several more. Also, I found some of the sidequests a little monotonous. That figurine stuff was really irritating. ...Back on topic... I really hope that another 2D Top-Down Zelda game is released. Quite frankly, I never really got into the N64 games, and I am yet to try the Gamecube one. |

| I'm sure Nintendo will keep 2D games of some sort on their handhelds for a long time to come. I also believe I heard the DS Zelda game was 2D. | |||
