I was tinkin' aboot somtin'. I think I know what game I personally would want Capcom to do as the next GBA Zelda game. I would love to see a new Zelda game done in the style of Adventure of Link. Something side scrolly with that Zelda twist and all that exploring would be great fun, and of course nothing, and I mean NOTHING compaires to the fun of finding out a wall is false and walking through it to find some hidden room! Castlevania did this too, and oh how sweet those areas are. They could expand on the finding of spells and new techniques, so you don't just learn an upward and downward thrust. The one thing they might change is instead of levelling up, have "tests of valor" hidden all over that you can take and on completion pick one of the three stats to increment. They could pack in Zelda 2 with the game (I think a good thing to do with old games from now on would be, instead of releasing them on their own, just put them in with brand new games of the same franchise).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
