Miyamoto reveals new Zelda title coming to Wii in 2010
- June 03, 2009 00:00 AM PST
Some were disappointed at the lack of Zelda during Nintendo's media briefing at this years E3. But fans of the hero of time fear not, as Shigeru Miyamoto announced recently during a round table discussion, that a new Zelda is in the works for 2010.
While Nintendo announced some fun new titles for their systems at this years E3, something was missing in the form of a blonde haired, green tunic wearing hero. Yet, fans of Zelda can have something to look forward to, as Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that an untitled Zelda title is in the works and will arrive on the Wii sometime in 2010.
Miyamoto expressed great interest in incorporating the Wii MotionPlus for things like swordplay and archery. The title may in fact require the MotionPlus to play, if the new peripheral proves a hit with consumers.
During the discussion, some new artwork was revealed showing an older, more mature looking Link barely visible through a broken wall. In the image, Link's back is to the viewer and a short girl stands in front of him, wearing a long robe, crystal necklace and is emanating a blue aura. Reports say the image is reminiscent of Zora from Ocarina of Time.
Apparently Miyamoto was hoping to showcase the upcoming game at their media briefing, but his development team wanted to focus on the concept and design of the game more before revealing anything.

Happy to hear of Link's return to the big consoles. It'd be sweet if the game somehow revisited the Hyrule from Ocarina of Time, only more updated. I'd love to see the Zora and the Gorons once more in my favorite incarnation of them.

Aren't you going to complain about a lack of original IP? And whatever month New Super Mario Bros Wii is released will be the perfect month for me. None of the games you listed interest me. Maybe Assassin's Creed 2, but only because it is set in Italy during the Renaissance. Never played the first one, and have no interest in doing so either. Hopefully 2 is good though.

Older and more mature link? How old?
Can someone link me to the original image?
Metroid:Other M looks cool too. I wish Ita would come back to team ninja. What is he even doing with himself?
