FINALLY PEOPLE CAN BE HAPPY HAHA:

Miyamoto Says New Zelda for Wii Progressing

No big surprise. At E3 2008, Nintendo confirmed (very vaguely) that the Mario and Zelda teams had reassembled, but offered no further details. But when we sat down with Shigeru Miyamoto this week, he elaborated on situation, absolutely confirmed that a new Wii Zelda is underway, and suggested that it will see some fundamental changes.

“The Zelda team in particular always works on Zelda titles. The core members of the Zelda team have for a very long time now been focused on Zelda games, and continue to focus on Zelda games, so they are hard at work and working away," Miyamoto said. “And then, of course, we have the DS Zelda team as well, so even there we’re having some switching of people in and out where the DS team is mixing in with the Wii team and working on the Wii version."

At GDC 2007, Eiji Aonuma gave a presentation on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. At that time, he showed a brief snippet of an experimentation the Zelda team conducted — it was Twilight Princess running in the first-person view. We asked Miyamoto if such a fundamental change could await players of Wii’s next Zelda adventure.

“I don’t necessarily think it will change that drastically, but I think that Zelda is a franchise that does need some big new unique ideas," he said. “And so the team right now is very focused on trying to find those ideas.“


No more mutiny now.

Dude if they are only this far into it, basically like trying to figure out what the mechanics and whatnot will be, and it’s been in this stage since 2007, don’t count on anything soon haha. We are talking late 2009/early 2010 for the next Zelda game.
