SA writes: After generations of creativity and wonder, Nintendo has wowed us all with every franchise offering something different and impactful. What better way to make an impact in a game than with a strikingly memorable villain; and Nintendo is in no short supply of them. These villains are so unique and can’t be found anywhere else. Keep in mind, this countdown is just my opinion; I haven’t played every game published by Nintendo and there are franchises I don’t know enough about including Fire Emblem and Xenoblade, so understand why I left them out. I’m including one villain per franchise and they’re not ranked by how popular they are. They’re ranked by personality, accomplishments, style, creativity, and how sinister they are. Now then, let’s unleash the most evil baddies Nintendo created. This is the Top 10 Nintendo Villains.
Screen Rant, "The return of one controversial character could have an incredible effect on The Legend of Zelda, prompting the introduction of new features."
Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her
Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.
Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."
Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before
As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.
BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..
Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.
A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.
I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
Not a bad list but how can you leave Bowser off? These are all pretty good villains but it feels like some more obscure villains were included just for the sake of being different. Bowser needs to be on this list.
No order
