Top down Zelda would be great. There were some cool areas in Mario 3D Land that did this to great effect with the 3D screen.
It felt almost like a teaser.
Whatever they do, I'd like them to drop the Wind Waker artstyle and try something new.

I really hope devs who put inventory or other clickable items on tablet structure it correctly.
This, although more than functional, seems like it may be hard to reach the items toward the middle of the screen. Pic hijacked from another thread.
A menu designed around the edges in reachable thumb distance would be better, generally speaking of course. Like this(not the design, but the placement):

With the wii, a lot of the more mature games, look like we are playing a game through a camera with a lens covered in Vaseline. Was this the fault of the compression used on the textures or was this an "artisic" choice. If it was compression, are we going to have to steel ourselves for more of the same with the WiiU?
Playing on the hardest difficulty is the way to go with echoes
such a good game. brutal, but very rewarding.

Expect: NSMB, Pikmin, new IP trailer from Retro
Hope: Nintendo/Epic collaboration for Gears of Wario

Top down LTTP style in 3D would be incredible.
Playing 3D Dot Game Heroes did put me in the mood for another Zelda game in this style.

I just went through the E3 2008 Nintendo Conference thread, the meltdowns are so glorious :loooooool
Have a link? Would love to read that thread lol.
I've never had a meltdown on GAF.. or the Int... okay once or twice..
Maybe I should look into it

Majora's Mask is perfect as is. Termina's an ugly, creepy place and the crappy framerate and N64 textures suit it perfectly.
3DS remake? Do not want. Maybe it's great for Ocarina's glorious arse but it feels wrong here.

Heh, are you trying to out-crazy BurntPork?
NO! NO NO NO! It MUST get the special treatment! MUST! Modern-day TVs kill MM. KILL IT! They make it all blurry and unbearable to look at. We NEED a glorious MM3D! NEED IT!

MY REASONING IS FLAWLESS DAMN IT
Eh, looks alright on my telly, haven't wanted to stab my eyes out yet
You're not allowed to call anyone crazy.

OK yeah, you got me there lol.
I agree. OOT 3DS' colors are over saturated as fuck. Doesn't work with Majora's Mask at all.
I wouldn't mind a HD remake to more closely replicate the promotional art.

Good point. I'd be tempted to place items for selection in each corner of the screen, so they can be easily accessed without looking down. So four items up for quick selection as usual (in Zelda's case), but freeing four face buttons up.

Didn't Nintendo reveal a couple months ago of a New! Legend of Zelda game? One would assume it'd be a 2D top down game.

I'm not a big fan of top down. Especially in adventure games. It makes me feel too distant from the action.
I'd like to see something clever like with the Wii, but at the same time they should give us a clear indication of how long it will take with a progressive bar. If I remember correctly Mario hits on ? blocks and gets coins. Maybe they should display the percentage through coins collected? So once Mario has collected 100 coins (100%) that means you have completed the download.
Both =)
Why cant they do both?
Mario on the classic donkey kong stage, the Further up he goes, the closer the download is the completion. If the download fails, he gets hit by a barrel and dies.

Progress bar/percentage on top screen, Nintendo-themed downloading animation on the telly. Make more than one, too. Zelda, Pokemon, DKC, go nuts with it.
Virtual Console version looks fine.
I'd rather it get the 1080p treatment ala Banjo Kazooie XBLA.
Yes. Have the coins count to 100 & then an 'Extra Life' mushroom appears.
Did you not play MM on an HDTV with your Wii? Because it looks fantastic.
You're a bad influence, y'know that? You've inspired me to look-up the "Greatest meltdowns in gaming history" thread. I'll probably be up until 2am, giggling.. and I have to be at work by 7am. Mm mm mmm..

Yeah, I'm running my Wii on a 19" HDTV with component cables and it looks pretty damn good, from SMG2 to old-ass NES games. MM looks just fine.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
If it must be ported, I'd take one of two things: Majora's Mask 3D, as I thought the OoT 3D remake was dope. I feel, with that kind of visual increase, performance and gimmicks, it would be best suited to the 3DS. Alternatively, if it were for the Wii U I'd prefer a total overhaul/remake, including an entirely revised art direction that uses the same dark shadow shading that appeared in the official artwork.
Basically Majora's Mask HD, totally remade to look just like the concept and promotional art, taking advantage of the Wii U's hardware.
That would be awesome, but much more expensive. End of the day for cheapness I'd prefer the former idea.

Is there any good reason why Amir0x was a mod for so long? Just look at that.
If anything, Nintendo should make the next Zelda game based off the concept/promotional art from MM. I would love to see them do something along those lines. Thinking about it gives me warm feelings.
Edit:
Mah God. It looks beautiful.

The MM art is sinister looking because the game is mad sinister. I wouldn't want a game that looks like the MM art just 'coz- make something similarly twisted in tone first, then give it a freaky style to match.
