I think the next Zelda game should be the fourth piece of Triforce and the phoenix that carries it. Have you ever looked at the Hylian shield closely? It shows the Triforce, plain as ever, but if you look further down you see a red bird carrying an upside down piece of Triforce in it's talons. This piece of Triforce could be the piece that controls all the other pieces. The piece that gives Zelda wisdom, Link courage, and Ganondorf power. The next game should talk about the missing piece's whereabouts and explain how the split timeline was all the doing of that piece. It would tie all the main games together.

That is a great idea,Glitched Link but unfortunatley I doubt Nintendo would do it...To be honest,I had no idea there was a pheonix on the sheild.

It would make sense if they did it, seeing how they leave little clues in the previous games. Glad you like it though!

I'm sorry, but why would there be a fourth piece of the Triforce? Tri means three and there all already three pieces. Adding a fourth piece would, in my opinion, be a stupid move thrown in there simply for the the purpose of making another game, not to mention they'd have to change its name to Quadforce. My proposed storyline for the next game is as follows (copy and pasted from the Zelda story idea thread):

It has been a year since Link's journey into Termnia to find his Guardian Fairy, Navi. He has since returned, only to be confronted with a twisted version of Hyrule, far different from the one he left behind twelve months earlier. The land was barren. Villages and towns were guarded so tightly and vicously that people refused to leave their homes on fear of death. Without delay, Link dashed off to Hyrule Castle to confront Princess Zelda, horrified at what would cause the kingdom to fall in such a state of peril. He was shocked at what was is told.

Since his departure, Zelda's father fell victim to a devastating illness that left him alive by only a thread. Despite all efforts to find a cure, nothing worked. It did not take long for the noble ruler to pass away. He didn't even get to say goodbye to his daughter. Zelda blamed the illness on Ganondorf. He had tried to take over their kingdom once, why wouldn't he try again? She ordered dozens of guards to every town and village in Hyrule. She was determined to hunt him down. She refused to let up her efforts, slowly becoming more and more desperate as Ganondorf eluded her.

Finally she took it upon herself to go back and stop her father's death. Now with the Ocarina of Time returned to her, she had the means to do so. During Link's absence, she had perfected her magical abilities. By many standards she had even surpassed those of King of Evil himself. Despite urgings from Link, Navi, and the Sages, Zelda used the Ocarina of Time to create a portal into the past. But as she did, her mind finally snapped. Why simply save her father? Why not go back to the beginning and save everyone? She could rule the world with kindness. No one would ever have to die ever again.

But as she learned during her first stop during her jumps in time, Link didn't take kindly to the "Emperess of the World" idea. She would have to stop him, slow him down at least so he wouldn't interfere with her plans. She cared for him, but her father was more important. There were more people counting on her than just Link. She had to go back to the beginning of time and make sure everyone would live a perfect life.

are you referring to the theory of a Tetraforce existing; the theory that was ignited when people who noticed on the OoT Hylian Shield that the bird's pedestal it's standing on is a lone golden triangle, then later jumped to the conclusion that it could be a fourth piece of the Triforce, if it even existed, thus forming a 'Tetraforce'. "Some say the bird on the shield is carrying the 4th piece to the rest of the Triforce." ??

@ Kate: I had no idea other people had talked about it.

@ Sir Calibur: You wouldn't have to change the name to Quadriforce. The fourth piece never connects with the other 3, it's just the triforce and then the triangle that watches over it, the master force or something. Link could go on a quest to find the phoenix that carries the master force. There he would see his past, present, and future, showing all the Link incarnations, even the split timeline ones.

UPDATE: I just read that article about the Tetraforce and saw Nintendo already turned down the idea of a fourth piece. Way to take a huge, steaming dump all over my ideas Miyamoto. You were right, Desifier.

I still don't think it will ever happen. Nintendo's already edited recent versions of the shield so the phoenix isn't holding it and they've repeatedly denied the existance of a fourth piece. Odds are it will never become a game, but I don't doubt you couldn't read or write a fanfiction about the possibility of a Tetraforce. And gong on a quest just so you can see your past and future selves seems like a waste of a game.

Yeah that whole thing with the fourth piece is in the can. And I only meant that in one cutscene, the phoenix would show you your past, present, and future. It would write the Zelda timeline in stone, you know?
