How awesome would a Zelda MMO be?

[leprechaunlink727]

Its the perfect series to follow in the likes of the Final Fantasy and Warcraft series. I naturally wouldn't want regular Zelda games to stop being made, but this would be one MMO I'd actually play.

The races would be the traditional Hylian, Zora, Goron, Fairy, Deku, twili, Minish etc. that we see in the main games, and also enemy races like Moblins, Bulblins, Stalfos, Wolfos, Lizalfos, Armos, etc...(They all end in "-blin" or "-fos"...)

You could obviously explore Hyrule, as well as Termina (majora's Mask), Labrynna (Oracle of Ages), Holodrum (oracle of Seasons), the Dark World (A Link to the Past), the twilight Realm (Twilight Princess), Koholint Island (Link's Awakening), and any more of the surrounding lands that I neglected to mention. Maybe they could add a bunch of random islands to convey a Wind Waker feel too.

There would be tons of items, attacks, and magic moves to choose from already, and I'm sure Nintendo could come up with more.

It would be very dungeon oriented, as is the nature of Zelda. I have trouble imagining what a Zelda Dungeon would be like with multiple people, but I guess that's all the fun. However, there are always tons of side-quests in the main games, that would have to apply here too.

It would be called something like The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Tales... or something better that you guy think of.

The main problem is Nintendo's family-friendly online strategy. Doesn't really have room to accomadate MMO's...

What do you guys think, maybe if this idea becomes popular enough to get Nintendo's attention, we might see it come to fruition! If not, maybe we can get a Pokemon MMO or something, that would be cool too.

Not really...

I'm guessing you're not a Zelda fan.

No, no, no I do..ok, well not really, but seriously, an MMO?

It would be WAY awesome. What an awesome idea!

Oh...no, I got 'awesome' and 'terrible' confused. I mean, sure, Nintendo could make it and it would be fine, gameplay wise, but it wouldn't be a Zelda game, y'know?

Well, there's the problem of the Zelda series being centered around main characters, unlike WarCraft 3 or Final Fantasy which really don't have main characters. Also, it'd be pretty much impossible to incorporate some of the trademark Zelda ideas such as puzzles into the game. And there's always the shiver down my spine when the words "multiplayer" and "Zelda" or "Metroid" are mentioned in the same sentence. However, using the different races from the Zelda series for a MMO sounds fun (of course, execution>name value, nostalgia, etc.).
I'd be all for it as long as tt stays far away from the Zelda storyline (a few minor in-game mentions of it as a children's folk tale or a traditional myth would be ideal) and it's well-made (obviously). On the same train of thought, they shouldn't name it "Legend of Zelda." Instead, it should be something along the lines of "Hyrulian Adventures."
