you’re a hero for doing this… screw it if nintendo does not hear us, this would make history… i pictured it in my mind… the death of zelda, the frenzied rage, the bloodbath… you’re a hero man, believe it

I like the idea, but I’m not sure if it would work with a third person camera… the accuracy of your attacks and blocks would be greatly reduced if you were looking over link’s shoulder as opposed to from a first person view…
It’s very possible I’m not visualizing your idea right, but I think that a switch to first person would take away too much of the Zelda feel, since hack and slash has been it’s standard since the beginning.
At the same time, I think part of the challange of the game could be having to measure your sword thrusts and such accurately to parry the enemy’s attacks, instead of just swinging away. I agree that accurately simulating that kind of motion would be difficult, but i’d imagine it’s possible. Rumors are that the next star wars game should have something like that for duels, and that with the current remote.
Anyway i’m rambling… I like the idea overall, and i’d be excited to try it out.
