The Future of Lost Continent

[Nico]

There’s a screenshot that was saved could we post it since technically it was something officially released?

You’re good to post. Thanks for checking!

Guy in the center, Miyamoto to the right.

Probably has a better chance of being a more thrilling attraction if it's Aonuma overseeing the project and not Miyamoto.

It’s probably going to be a boat ride. I don’t know if I’d expect thrilling

It’s also probably more likely to be immersive and story driven rather than something like Mario Kart. Miyamoto’s big thing is gameplay and interactivity while Aonuma seems to focus on story and immersion above all. Even BOTW and TOTK which many call out for not having as much story as something like Wind Waker still have more story than most other Nintendo games!

You saved yourself with that last part, ahahaha.

With regards to a Zelda park. I really want them (and they'd be smart to do it). Is build a Twilight Princess Hyrule Castle replica that rivals the Cinderella Castle. it would be famous for pictures, it would tower over the area in such a gorgeous way, and having it lit up at night and the windows lit up.
Honestly though, a castle like that would look better at Epic Universe because there's no other castle "weenie".
Islands has Hogwarts for it to compete with and two castles may clash in a tedious way?

I hope they go with the twilight princess aesthetic. Its visual style is most realistic so it would look sweet brought to life in a theme park. I know they’ll just go with TOTK (and for good reason) but I’d love to see some twilight princess influence.

My dream would be for the land to be influenced by TOTK with a dash of TP in its aesthetic, but for its attractions to go full on Ocarina of Time. That game’s narrative just feels the most natural for a theme park

This would be SUCH A GORGEOUS replica to build in the section.
Complete with lights that come on in the castle at night.

As someone that has never seen or played Zelda (and know nothing about), that looks for too much like Cinderella Castle to be built at IOA.

 

[ultimateforce]

I was thinking something more like this.

LOL
With characters at the top fighting nonetheless

They could always go with this, but then that might look too close to Hogwarts

So either way they’ll be copying someone, why not copy the competition instead of themselves
(I do think the pristine blues and whites of Hyrule castle might look nice next to the gothic hogwarts)

 

[IndyRs]

I wouldn't think they'd be copying Disney. Disney doesn't have the monopoly on castles for a theme.
And that Hyrule Castle look is definitely different than Disney. Maybe similar looking spires but it looks different than Disney's castles.
Theirs is mostly pink.

This have a big main tower with many spires connected with arches.

I don't really even think they need Hyrule castle, they could always focus on other areas of Hyrule.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

The castle could theoretically be inside the ride as well.

 

[IndyRs]

Just a few shots of what it could look like. The first one just shows how it could look in the skyline. I know it's not near the lost continent spot it would be.

I thought about Death Mountain but that would look similar to Volcano Bay?
Or the Great Deku Tree.

 

[MagdolHauntsMe]

Maybe they could place a giant polka-dot egg on top of the P.F. building. Instant Link's Awakening. After all, Koholint is an island. Of adventure.

 

[Skipper Justin]

It would definitely be the Breath of the Wild castle though…

 

[GA-MBIT]

For reference, the Hyrule Castle from Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom looks like this...

Post-Apocalypse:

Pre-Calamity Hyrule Castle is pretty Cinderella-y, but the Ruined Castle could be pretty distinct.
