10 Ideas We Would Be Completely Ok With Trying In The Legend Of Zelda Series

9. Hyrule Sports!
Racing on Lake Hyrule with the soundtrack of the Water Temple sounds like a great addition to The Legend of Zelda. There is one question I have always asked about Hyrule: Why do all these people always seem like they never really interact with each other?
In comic books, you see Aquaman forcing interaction between land dwellers and those from the sea. In Harry Potter, you see the Merpeople are able to help Harry out of a jam and they actually are involved in politics on land to an extent.
There has to be some kind of friendly relations between races in these games. Traveling merchants should be able to cross the boundaries between towns to make other races more than myths to many who do not get out. My time with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was spent wondering a lot about the world of Hyrule and what it was like when it was not in turmoil. That is not something we see very often. So let’s see Link and crew having fun.
Take that crossbow shooting demo and make it a minigame. Have a capture the flag minigame in the Forbidden Forest. Shield surf down Death Mountain!
A collection of Zelda minigames would be amazing. Please stay away from turning this into another version of Mario Party, though. No one wants anymore Mario Party games at this point.
