Would anyone else like a "Tales of" Zelda?

No thanks, I can't stand Zelda so I rather not see it near any Tales title.

Yeah, I would get excited for that. I would buy a Tales of Zelda, but I wouldn't expect that much

They're trying to get away from the heavy exposition, though.
What rocks are you people crawling out from under so we can put a bigger rock over it?
That would literally be the ultimate letdown for me, gaming related. I already find it very hard (c.q. boring) to get into turn based games, but furthermore I just loathe the JRPG genre in general. I don't like the traditional Japanese games.

Style over substance?? Tales' battle system has waaaaay more substance than any Zelda game.

After what happened to Samus (babybabybabybaby), I'd rather not "flesh out" another one of the Nintendo protagonists with more personality. It'd be almost impossible to keep Link as the "silent hero" type in one of these games unless they go all Chrono Trigger.

That would be fantastic, but I see it as more of a side story without Link/Zelda/Ganon.
what the fuck are you even talking about? Have you ever actually played a Tales game? That's not how they play

Pretty much. I suppose Zelda Musou makes sense, but Tales of Zelda sounds like a terrible idea.

Can you calm down? Most people are mocking the idea than the games. No need for a "my game is better than yours" e-dick discussion.

Yes, played Tales of Symphonia on the Cube. After starting the second disk I must have fallen asleep, though. Same boring button mashing for 40+ hours, only interupted with embarrassing cutscenes, but hey at least the artstyle seemed nice...yawn

I would prefer 'The Souls of Zelda' made by From

I love the Zelda series, but not for its lore and stories. Its gameplay has always been the draw for me. In a Tales game, the story would have to be the focus. Now a Zelda inspired Tales is more interesting to me.

I will like that as well.

Not only is Tales not turn based as stated, most RPGs on consoles aren't either anymore.
Tales generally has no random battles.
Stupidest statement I've heard in a while. Can we stop with the whole fedora this fedora that garbage?
What Tales game is this? Tales combat is way better than Zelda combat. If you want Zelda combat done right, look at Souls. Zelda isn't on that level (yet?)
Edit: Play recent Tales. Even ToS has better combat than Zelda.
I don't really see the two mixing well. Zelda honestly doesn't have enough story to work in the Tales universe. Zelda is more about gameplay and Tales is more about story. I like the story in Zelda and the gameplay in Tales, but the two are completely contradictory in where they shine. To make Tales of Zelda work you'd have to add a ridiculous amount of extra lore to Zelda, and quite honestly that would probably kill the game for me. If it was done really well, maybe I'd love it, but I can't help but think it would feel forced.

Only if its 2D Tales.
If I were link and pulling stuff like this I'd be in heaven.

I like both series (though Tales hasn't been working for me much lately), but this doesn't seem like it'd be that great. If it did happen, I'd totally play it though just for the hell of it, just like how I'll be playing Hyrule Warriors even though I don't like Musou games.

Yes! Sounds good to me.
I was thinking about the same thing the other day.
Link can be a silent protagonist. Zelda can be a playable character. Gorons, zoras, gerudos, etc., there's a lot of things from Zelda you can put in a game like this!

I would rather bath my genitalia in boiling oil than playing a tales game ever again, but thanks.
Abyss has the most sympathetic protagonist out of all of the PS ones. Emil makes real people hate make believe.

This is a Zelda spin-off I'd LOVE to see! Shame Tales of Link wasn't this, would've been perfect unless of course they call it Tales of Zelda.
Make it look like Vesperia.

You can sub out fedoracore manchild with fat girl with cat ears if you want, Tales of art and character design is still terrible.

Well, I didn't expect you make it sound worse, but you pulled it off... congratulations

Just a weird suggestion.kind of like that ' I want a dark souls Skyrim' thread.
It must be doing something right to be one of the few JRPGs to last this long as a series. Maybe it's just that you aren't into it? I know it's cool to belittle everyone who doesn't like your taste in games, but maybe you're acting a little childish about this.

I'll take any Tales that looks like Vesperia again, even it if needs Zelda, lol. Would be less shameful than Zelda Mosou anyway.
Zelda: BBBBBBB (eventually press left or right for select enemies in the 3D titles)
So he's right.
Tales art is easily better than most JRPGs so I don't know what you're talking about.

Depends on the Tales title. Xillia might have some of the worst character designs I've ever seen.
Xillia has some of the best designs. Alvin, Gaius, Muzet, Rowen. I'd say the rest of the main cast looks good too, although Elize just looks decent (better in Xillia 2) and Milla's hair is weird from the back, but other than that the rest of the cast is solid. The rest of the villains looks alright.

Sure, but thankfully in Zelda the underwhelming combat doesen't make out like 90% of the whole game, unlike in tales games.
If I ever should suffer from insomnia, I think a nice round of tales of gameplay may be the best medicine, but thinking about it, I would rather hit myself with a club than actually playing this nightmare of a series ever again.
