The Next Wii Zelda (Now With Added Rumors)
 

http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6210517...geted-for-2010

As far as I can tell from everything I've been looking at this is all that was said about a Wii Zelda. Sorry to get you too pumped!

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Looks like they're not far in development... What have they been doing in the last few years??

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Thumb up ass comes to mind?

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

As I said in the other thread and mentioned to KG, Nintendo treats their Zeldas like a very special event and I don't see them throwing out another one just because the fans need it.

I assume they have gone through several concepts and just haven't finalized one yet. I also assume, they are finally gonna do away with the OoT template which has been driving the series for about a decade.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Not only that, but like we already pointed out, with a new Super Mario Bros. game coming out and a sequel to Mario Galaxy, Nintendo is going to be pulling in crazy money. Add in a Zelda on the DS and I guarantee you they will be making a large profit.

Releasing a Zelda on the Wii means that it will lessen the impact of the two Mario titles and definitely diminish Zelda sales on the DS. Some desperate Zelda fans might actually buy a DS for this new Zelda title. It wouldn't surprise me if DS sales saw an increase around the launch of Spirit Tracks.

Right now Nintendo is probably on cruise control, because the sequel to Galaxy looks like it uses the exact same engine as the original. I doubt development was too hard for that game.

Nintendo has cleaned the sales floor this generation, I see no reason why they would change their strategy. I bet if we see Wii Zelda it will be right at the end of the console's life so Nintendo can try to squeeze out a few final Wii sales before unveiling a new console.

Also, Twilight Princess wasn't exclusive so it was a Cube/Wii title. That meant no real pressure integrating Wii controls. I'm sure Nintendo feels some pressure to make a kick ass Zelda game that successfully and innovatively implements Wii motion control. If the game falls short in that area Nintendo will be crucified.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Hm I guess you're right. Within 1.5 years we'll get 2 Mario platformers and 1 Metroid game. That's pretty big, we don't 'need' Zelda to keep us busy.

But then again, look at the time between Zeldas:
LoZ: 1986
AoL: 1987
LttP: 1991
LA: 1993
OoT: 1998
MM: 2000
TWW: 2002
TP: 2006

2009/2010 would be a great timing for a next main Zelda. Especially when you consider TP was probably held back for the Wii.
I think it takes longer because they're not too sure what direction to go with it. Holding it back artificially, just not to have too many games in a short time? Madness.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

I don't think its about having Mario and Zelda in their place, they released Wind Waker/Sunshine/Prime all within like 8 months of each other.

And TP/Prime 3/Galaxy were all released within a year of each other.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

On that picture he was shown back to back with a woman. No sword. 'Something completely different.'

It's a dating sim.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

The illustration that was shown.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Hm...............

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

That picture reminds me of the Great Fairy in The Wind Waker. The one you have to use the whirlwind song to get to.

I take it this is 'the concept picture' that was mentioned by on one of the links.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Xanny sent me this link.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Ah, interesting! But they got it mixed up.

Look at that art and imagine if Link had the sword stored on his back, with the point of the sword pointing down to the ground. It looks like to me the shape of the girl matches that perfectly. The hilt and handle match her head and neck, the protective V of the hilt matches her cloak (which also puts the diamond in the exact same spot), and her long legs match the length of the sword.

Then again, I see how the textures map up on their matchup. Perhaps she is not meant to be a literal one-for-one representation of the sword like I'm thinking.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Very interesting. So this time the 'helper' (like Navi, Midna, etc.) is a living sword?
Can she also transform in other weapons? A whip (like in Spirit Tracks), a morningstar, a magic wand??

Also, some people have suggested that Link is standing in front of a portal. Maybe a portal to the fairy world. Perhaps he's lost the Master Sword? Maybe the Master Sword will be made in this game??

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Yeah gotta agree with Mana here. If that chick is the sword her legs are the blade and her head is the handle.

Just what Link needs btw, a talking sword....

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Link has no sword in that pic. maybe he'll be using a spirit (or maybe multiple spirits? ) as weapons?

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

So here's some cool stuff they could do:

- Flashbacks whenever you get a new weapon. Let's say you find the hookshot. This might be a new Link, so it's the first time he sees the weapon. But as soon as he touches the hookshot, you get to see flashes of Link to the Past, OoT, MM, TP. Link slowly realizes he has some connection with the previous heroes of time.

- A dungeon in the sky, but this time done right. You know that fairy tale about a bean that grows into a sky, where a giant lives? Make a dungeon of that. Link plants a bean in the beginning of the game, which slowly grows over time. In the end it's big enough to get to the dungeon.
Twist: the giant is a regular man who dreams the whole dungeon. The more you defeat him, the more he and his house shrink. When you're done with him, he's just a regular villager and the whole dungeon is gone.

- Animal transformations which are learned from those animals. Would be cool if Link could transform into a wolf, a seal, an eagle, maybe a goat and definately a big heavy triceratops-like animal. In the dungeon described above there is an eagle on the roof who teaches him the eagle form, which is needed to progress in the dungeon.

Edit: Maybe I should just turn it into my own fanfic.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Well not much, most of it doesn't even make sense, but from Mr. Miyamoto.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Zelda will probably be my next purchase for the Wii.

That totals up to...

Twilight Princess
Brawl
...
Yep.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Sounds good.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

I'm going to periodically guess the new sub name of the Zelda Wii game.


Zelda: The shovel of luminescence.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Zelda: Whip of destiny

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Nono, if anything, names have become more retarded, not cooler. Wind Waker, what's a wind waker? Phantom hourglass... why not ghost watch? Twilight princess.... Shadow princess might have sounded cooler.

So it will probably be something like...

The Legend of Zelda: Exlamation Characteristic

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Actually in that case I think Phantom Hourglass works better than Ghost Watch... that's just so awful.

And what would you have called Wind Waker?

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Legend of Zelda: The Dark Veil

Princess Zelda is married to Ganondorf.

Game over.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Maybe it's just that I had never heard of an 'hourglass' before. In Dutch sure, but not in English. Here we called it a 'sandwalker,' isn't that so much cooler? :D
And I also never liked the word phantom. The Phantom Menace sounds to me like some stupid name that a 9 year old came up with.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

I like Twilight Princess, I guess because I like the word 'twilight' (vampire movies aside).

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Thought-controlled games using the vitality scanner!!

And that is such a terribly teasing comment. We can't wait for E³. :(

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Such a tease. We're gonna show you stuff that will blow your mind... in seven months. Nintendo, the king of the hype.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Actually, that would be everyone else this generation.

I assume Nintendo would not mention Zelda Wii if people didn't keep asking them about it. :lolz:

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Even more talking,

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Zelda: Wii Sports Hyrule

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

Zelda: Cardio Blast

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

They changed the flow of the game... I wonder how that will work out. Maybe less dungeons, more other action?

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

They need to get back to making the dungeons actually fun... How about that?

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

I wonder if we will finally see voice acting...I have mixed feelings on that one. But I am excited for what they come up with. When Nintendo try's something different it is usually pretty incredible.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

I've enjoyed the dungeons in the last two games.

I hope when they say change the flow though, they don't mean a central dungeon like in PH and Spirit Tracks.

Yeah because everyone remembers the awesome voice work done in Mario Sunshine....

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

No voice acting please. At least not with full lyrics.

Maybe gibberish like Midna had. :)

Re: The Next Wii Zelda
 

He sure is talking more and more,
