The Next Wii Zelda (Now With Added Rumors)

[Nighthawk]

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

[Angrist]

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.

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

And the new Zelda for Wii is beyond that. On developing the recent Zelda for DS, I found out that one of Zelda's core appeals is its uniqueness. Of course we are preparing gorgeous graphics for the sake of users' anticipation for a grand role-playing adventure. But what I believe is very important is the realistic, actual feeling players have experienced themselves; the feeling to have really been on an adventure, to have explored the unknown terrains, to have solved the puzzle through trial and errors, to have themselves grown through various experiences! In that sense, a personal sense of creativity is becoming important among us. We have assembled one of the most creative team for the recent Zelda for DS, and we want to be as creative as possible for upcoming Wii Zelda.

And on a more tangible note, we are utilizing Wii MotionPlus. What has been disclosed so far is that we are finding the most efficient way to utilize Wii MotionPlus to realize the realistic and actual feeling of fighting with the sword. As for targeting, we are utilizing the pointing system of Wii Remote on the previous title. This time we are planning a more convenient and comfortable pointing system.

Zelda will probably be my next purchase for the Wii.

That totals up to...

Twilight Princess
Brawl
...
Yep.

[Angrist]

Sounds good.

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


Zelda: The shovel of luminescence.

[Typhoid]

Zelda: Whip of destiny

[Angrist]

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

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?

[thatmariolover]

Legend of Zelda: The Dark Veil

Princess Zelda is married to Ganondorf.

Game over.

[Angrist]

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?
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.

[manasecret]

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

Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has told ONM to expect surprises at next year's E3 as Nintendo prepares to reveal an overhaul of the critically-acclaimed series.

When asked how different the new Zelda title will be when it arrives on Wii next year, Aonuma replied: "It is something we used to talk about with Mr Miyamoto, and he and I agree that if we are following the same structure again and again, we might not be able to give long time Zelda fans a fresh surprise."

"So we have been trying something new in terms of the structure of the Wii version of the new Zelda game this time. I am really hopeful that people will be surprised with the changes we have implemented for this Wii version."

Aonuma also confirmed that alongside full MotionPlus support, we'll be able to see more of what his team have been working on at next year's E3. "I hope that we can show you something at the E3 show next year and it is something we are hopeful will be surprising," he added.

Thought-controlled games using the vitality scanner!!

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

[manasecret]

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