Wish List: The next Zelda games

This will be a work in progress. I’ve had ideas I wanted to share for the last year on what I would like to see in the next Zelda game (after BotW), while I would have preferred to have posted a complete article, I just don’t have the time to finish it. And so I have to decided to have it be a work in progress, where I’ll just write down what I would like to see as time goes by. Hopefully when I do finish I plan to make it a video as well.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Switch Remake

Wow! What an amazing Nintendo Direct to start off the year. The surprise announcement of Link’s Awakening remake for Switch was of course my favourite part. The game looks fun and similar to A Link Between Worlds; with a more Chibi art style. I just hope Nintendo decides to include the anime in the game as well, it was beautiful.

S.H. Figuarts Goku

Dragon Ball toy figures have been around for a long-time, however I never bought any because the quality was never anything impressive. Most of the time they were simple looking figures with not much articulation. Thankfully that all changed when Bandai came out with their S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball Z toyline. Since then the line is the premier toy line for Dragon Ball figures. The figures are highly detailed and are highly articulated making them perfect for posing in many ways.

The first version I bought was this basic version of Goku, or Son Goku (2014 version). He comes in his iconic orange and blue uniform, minus the Turtle school patches (which I didn’t notice were absent until later). You also get various accessories such as different hands, faces and a kamehameha ball. While I view S.H. Figuarts as toys, I would also suggest they shouldn't be heavily played with (because they are fragile); rather they are best used to decorate a desk or shelf and to pose and take pictures with only. Either way I’m sure you'll enjoy collecting them (at retail prices).

World of Nintendo Metroid Samus

Straight out of planet Zebes comes Samus Aran a bounty hunter set on destroying Mertroids. This toy version of Samus was made by Jakks Pacific and is part of series 1-2 from their World of Nintendo toy line. This release also includes Samus in morph ball form as an accessory (the first print of this toy had it as a mystery box).

The quality of this toy is very impressive when compared to the price (around $12 Canadian). It comes with multiple articulation points, although it is limited in the shoulders. That’s not an issue for me though because I just want to be able to pose her while standing, which is easy. And while the paint colorway may make it seem basic, it’s actually quite detailed with multiple colors spread throughout; even the morph ball is well painted. I am very impressed by this figure, and it helps me build up hype for Metroid games and upcoming releases.
