Aonuma apologizes for Wind Waker

[Dark Jaguar]

I understand. Regarding deep stories needing to expound on things like tragedy though, I don't think that is needed. I think a story can be very deep but only really analyzing the good side of humanity in depth. Link doesn't have to have a tortured past or anything, but being able to be lighthearted and cheerful despite what may be going on around him can say something rather deep as well. He's a boyscout that doesn't bother really dwelling on anything that much, but hey, that's alright. I really don't want Link to ever be dark or brooding a character, no matter how deep the story might be.

Oh and, you know, at this point I wonder... Could it still be a Zelda game if one time they decided not to have a guy named Link as the main character? I only ask because I've had some ideas on new gameplay concepts that kinda exclude a human, or the game only letting you play as one entity at once. I guess what I'm saying is they could make some story involving a side quest not involving a hero with a certain fate and certainty and go with that if they needed to, but well, would that be okay in the eyes of the fans? I dunno, I'm sure if Nintendo announced a new game where the main character is plural, and is in fact two dekus with all manner of deku unique abilities, would they complain or just eye the whole project with skepticism until it came out? Something to think about anyway...
