Can we get a "Tales of Hyrule" next? It just makes sense.

Musou has been a *insert franchise* Musou for a few years now making it a possibility. When has Tales inserted other franchises (it being Bamco I wouldn't be surprised if Tales of Japanonlylia has a Pac-Man reference or something)?
Which reminds me Traveller's Tales LEGO games are basically the same so I'd say LEGO Zelda is more likely to happen than Tales of Zerudalia.

As cool as this would be, I think Nintendo should leave the Zelda IP alone aside from mainline games.
3rd party collabs should be done with lesser used franchises.

I'm not sure Nintendo would allow Link costumes to appear in PS3/PS4 games.
10/10 would play

I hope you realise that ToX sold 3 times as much as Skyward Sword.
That was said after the 360 fiasco. In a more recent interview he even name dropped the Xbox 360 and One saying they are sticking with Playstation 3 and 4.

Zelda's Souls?
Which had much to do with not only the lack of competing JRPGs on GC, but also the fact that there was a console-exclusivity deal for it in the US.

That sounds really sweet but I just don't see it happening.

I'd like to know where these numbers are coming from, for my own enrichment not to refute you.

Do Tales game sale that well in Japan?
What fan base?
There's some kind of exageration but
Tales of Xillia (PS3) - 632,151
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii) - 297,441

And a classic Tales of with classic zelda characters would be dumb, Tales of is all about characters, and with LInk being mute and bland as fuck it just wouldn't work.

Heres my point about grand statements. They dont last. Theyre said so signify/validate whatever is happening at the company right this second, but they usually have nothing to do with reality.
If this project is something Nintendo really wanted to do, it would happen. Simple as that.

I guess.
Then again, we're getting Dynasty Warriors Zelda. And I love Tales, so why not?

Oh ok, just Japan's numbers though. With the popularity of Zelda in NA and Tales in JP, that could actually be a winner though, in terms of sales anyway.
But yes, you've raised a valid point. Tales' strongest feature is that it's character driven. However, to be fair, Xillia 2 has a silent protagonist. If the story were somewhat outside the realm of the usual Zelda fair (I'm sorry, but Zelda stories are not the strongest), pad it with some new interesting characters, it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility.
And they're already working with the Symphonia team for SSB4. So...

SHHH I WAS ASKING HIM
I agree, those are pretty good. But my point was that Tales games have decent to great stories, independent of the fact that they have anime-styled character designs; if it weren't for that fact, they wouldn't even be compared to anime at all.
Yeah, that's fine. I see no problem with that.
Make it about characters in hyrule that aren't link or zelda.
Or just make them all team up. Have link, zelda, impa, sages, etc in your party. Whatever. All they have to do is set it in hyrule and it's fine.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
If designed by Fujishima I'm there day 1.
Isn't that what the story of the Garudos is? Sexy brown women forced to live in seclusion in the desert and practice ancient mysticism in order to prepare for the one male member of their society to try to and destroy the world?
I'd like to see the story of the Garudos expanded on. But then, I just want to see more sexy brown women in video games.
Gross....

Or, instead of whoring Zelda out more, Nintendo put the money into something like a The Last Story or Pandora's Tower sequel? Or a new character-driven IP?

Gears of Hyrule please.
Link will scramble from waist high cover to waist high cover, popping out to shoot fools with his bow. Occasionally he will come across an unsuspecting enemy and decimate him using his master sword in gruesome, gory fashion.

No.
If Nintendo made Last Story II, NoA wouldn't even bother localizing it so what's the point.
