I really do kinda want to see them make a 2D-ish Zelda... graphics would still be 3D, but the view and gameplay would be ol'school Zelda...

Has anybody played Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance for PS2 (coming out for Xbox and NGC eventually too)? It's got fun hack and slash gameplay, and the graphics rock (At least on PS2's level they do... great lighting, great textures, great water effects, not a single jaggy)... I think prolly cuz they have a top down view, so you don't have to worry about draw distance and such or something I dunno, I'm not a game developer

I just think they could make a Zelda game that's still very fun to play (It's still fun to play old Zelda games, at least to me it is) that has old top-down (although at a slight angle, like BG: DA) view and gameplay... With uber-good graphics... a huge world to explore, etc...

But I doubt that'll ever happen...
