A rejected pitch for a Zelda game from Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios just got a TON of new details!
Retro Studios is best known to Nintendo fans as the team behind the Metroid Prime series, but the developer has made several attempts to work on a Zelda game as well. Last year, it was revealed that the developer once pitched a Zelda game focused on Sheik, but now DidYouKnowGaming has pulled back the curtain on another game, which Retro pitched to Nintendo in 2004. The game would have released on Nintendo DS, and the pitch took heavy inspiration from Final Fantasy Tactics.
The game would have started in a traditional Zelda style, with players controlling Kori. After discovering the book, Kori begins reading about the past of Hyrule. During these segments, the game would switch to strategy-inspired gameplay, which would have made up about 2/3 of the adventure. The other 1/3 would have focused on Kori completing tasks for the people around town in exchange for more pages of the book, unaware that rebuilding it would lead to Ganon's return.
All of this information was contained in a 22-page pitch obtained by DidYouKnowGaming. From everything in the video, it looks like it could have been quite promising, but it clearly wasn't meant to be. Still, Zelda fans should definitely give it a watch! 0commentsAre you disappointed Heroes of Hyrule didn't pan out? Do you think the game had a cool premise?
