Sounds like they can test the controls for Zelda Wii

Lol. Balance board. xD Miyamoto already said the BB isn't fit for a Zelda game, unless "maybe" they use it for a minigame within the game. This was back in E3 '09

This is the most logical explanation. In the interview you see him moving his arms around, as if he's swinging a sword around.


Balance board.....? I think NOT.

I can't tell you how cool that'd seem.

Seem? Like, it's not actually cool but it totally looks like it is?

Well, there's no need for a Balance Board to move your body around. If it actually uses most of the WM+ then there will be a lot of moving in the game. As in, opposed to flicks of your wrists.

About the possibility of an early build, it is VERY likely. Zelda team is known for spending a while messing with the old engine to gather new ideas and then hops right aboard developing a new game while brainstorming. Even if only for idea-enticing, there's probably an early build at EAD with the old TP or a new, unstable engine with a Link waving his arms somewhat likethe player does.

The thing about them is that, not having the usual pressure from publishers, they can simply throw most of their work out the windows and start from scratch. And if Miyamoto's words are any indication, it seems to happen quite often. I wonder why Aonuma's been on the quiet side, though.

Hmm... Balance board, huh...?

SKATEBOARD LINK!
