Well, I've been kinda busy the last 3 or so months so excuse me for not seeing it earlier, some of us DO have lives away from the PC you know, Mr "Older than Jesus".
Hehe, anyway a futuristic zelda does exist, it's called Metroid.
You have to admit that they do play very similarly in the exploration, hell even Super Metroids labrinth was raminicent of AoL's levels. Both Zelda 2 and Metroid 2 are the worst in the series and you can bet your ass that the next Zelda will be first person, I'll eat my hat if it's not (okay, i'll buy a hat THEN eat it). I'm not saying I want a FP Zelda but it's almost bound to happen.
