In an interview with Nintendo Power, Miyamoto talked a bit about the new Wii Zelda, and made the statement “I don’t think it’s going to be that radically different.”
This could be interpreted in many ways. Most likely it’s just a reassurance that we aren’t going to see “Zelda in Space” or “Link fighting in WWII”, or one of the other many wild theories that always appear during the speculation of a new game.
However, there’s also a chance that he could be referring to the style of gameplay, or the graphics, or any number of things. I guess we’ll just have to wait until there is more actual information on the game before we know for sure.

Well that's interesting. I don't know if that news is comforting or depressing. I hope they still get creative with the game though. I'd rather Nintendo try something new than just deliver more of the same. Just look at Super Mario Galaxy.
July 2nd, 2009 at 2:45 pm
I agree. I am all for creativity
July 2nd, 2009 at 2:49 pm
I feel like Super Mario Galaxy WAS more of the same. Anyway, this is weird considering how he said earlier that Twilight Princess was the end of Zelda as we know it.
July 2nd, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Who exactly said that "Twilight Princess was the end of Zelda as we know it." Your not talking about Miyamoto are you?
July 2nd, 2009 at 3:28 pm
i think that they should keep the graphics from TP, but create a new storyline for it. because, as a friend pointed out, TP was pretty much a remake of ocarina. but they should give it a darker feel, make you feel like its you against the world, and make the puzzles harder. the puzzles in TP were a joke
July 2nd, 2009 at 3:39 pm
I hope this game will be difficult, because I've played all the games and never have I seen the "game over" screen.
July 2nd, 2009 at 3:57 pm
I have, but only when I jumped down bottomless pits to see if there was something down there. Come to think of it, I do that in most games…
Anyways, I get the feeling this new game's gonna be something special, and I think it's a good thing that it won't be "that radically different" because some of us were beginning to worry (although I myself never doubted Mr. M for a moment).
July 2nd, 2009 at 4:16 pm
It can't be comforting or depressing, the statement he made is to vague. Once we know more, then you can be comforted or depressed.
July 2nd, 2009 at 5:11 pm
you know how many ppl would kill themselfves if the Zelda series ended so soon =_= i mean its got a lot more to cover and such now pokemon is a diff story they are pretty much thru i mean xD they have a legendary pokemon for time,space,every human emotion, every element including nature, life and death oh and not to mention GOD…so yea wht else can they do make more mystery dungen and pokemon ranger games lol
July 2nd, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Lets just hope they keep Ganon
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:38 pm
You can't honestly expect me to believe you've never seen a Game Over screen in LoZ, AoL, or ALttP. Others, sure, I'll buy it, but not those three. I even have a hard time believing it for LA and OoX, but those are more believable.
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:30 pm
The Master Sword is a person! I'd say that's radical enough. and the graphics of TP were pretty good, but personally, I think Link's Outfit was a little too detetailed. I miss the plain tunic from OoT
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Learn to read
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:51 pm
I for one hope that they don't just recycle the animations from Wind Waker again. Honestly Link's running animation in TP looked really stupid. He looked better running in OoT.
July 2nd, 2009 at 9:41 pm
looks like it has TP graphics! I loved the TP graphics, i just hope that they improve them a little bit to look MORE realistic. Its definitly possible.
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:21 pm
If the concept art is any measure of what the game is like, I think we're in for a pretty interesting story. I'm sure there will be new mechanics in the game (wii motionplus yes?) but I'm sure Miaymoto means that nothing extreme (like link going to battle with terrorists) is gonna happen.
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:24 pm
i think they should go bigger, someone beyond ganon. like almost have him fight a new legit king of hyrule controled by ganon controled by like an evil god that he himself has to seal away. it sounds kind of generic but kind of cool to me
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:29 pm
well i think that he detail of the OoT tunic had more to deal with the systems limitations on detail. i think that the TP tunic was closer to what Miyamoto and other players imagined it to be and i personally like it
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Yes, that is quite strange. I wonder why he's contradicting himself? I guess it has been a while since this Zelda has been in the works, so things might have changed since that comment was made.
July 3rd, 2009 at 12:36 am
Did you get that line from $00pah NiN10Doh!? I happen to love Pokemon. They may have created a lot of legends but that doesn't necessarily mean the series is over. They could go far with a decent plot.
July 3rd, 2009 at 12:39 am
Agreed.
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:09 am
What about Link's Awakening?
That first boss has to be the most annoying boss I've come up against! once you pass that one you are fine but until then…
I'd agree it does look like it'll be something special. Can't wait till more artwork or interviews surface so that we can get more definitive speculation.
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:44 am
I was actually talking about the art. the pictures, in the manuel. that tunic.
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:59 am
Sooo… no one else thinks "Zelda in Space" sounds a little… interesting?Sorta… Kinda cool? no one? anyone? anyone?
…. I thought not.
July 3rd, 2009 at 6:06 am
It would be just like Star Wars. Luke has a green lightsaber right? He saves the Princess, and has someone who helps him out throughout the movies.
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:29 am
I am not surprised at that Zelda comment as Nintendo is into the 'cash cow' phase to get rich quick, That's why they are number 1 now and I hope it bites them in the A. (you know what I am talking about).
If that's what it takes to get them creative again then that's what it takess.
I'm so sick of fanboys distorting the web and it doesn't matter WHICH console the rave is about either which is why Nintendo doesn't use technology to it's potention on being creative and instead chooses to recycle the same games with different themes.
Fanboys are all the same though Sony fanboys tend to cuss more I've noticed but then 3/4ths of their games are rated PG13 or up so I guess that explains it.
Done ranting. Sheesh I started to go off topic. Someobody throw me a Shiekian knock out dart. Please?
July 3rd, 2009 at 10:53 am
I hate to say it but I'm getting a little wary of what M San will say next…
July 3rd, 2009 at 12:51 pm
long as its a good game im happy
July 3rd, 2009 at 4:48 pm
i dont think exactly in space but maybe alittle bit more to do with it like dungeon. i think they should bring in more of the history and lore of Hyrule into it rather than change settings, and have it set right after TP maybe. then they could expand the map further. maybe a better sky dungeon cause the TP one was kind of dumb, and i was kind of hoping for like a winged tunic instead of the magic tunic in that game. i think if they came out at the end of the game with a tunic that gave you wings and you could fly with would be cool.
July 3rd, 2009 at 4:50 pm
well i heard that Miyamoto barely did anything on TP and thats why it wasnt a new storyline
July 3rd, 2009 at 5:41 pm
The game's not even out yet, and I'm referring to both Zelda Wii AND Super Mario Galaxy. Give it a rest. The fact that it looks the same and runs on the same engine doesn't necessarily mean it won't be a different experience.
July 4th, 2009 at 1:31 am
rofl @ link fighting in WWII.
July 6th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
I used to like Pokemon. Know it's to preditable and boring and I beat the games in like two days!
July 6th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
I TOTALLY AGREE! OH MY WORD THAT WOULD BE SOO COOL!!!
July 7th, 2009 at 11:05 pm
yea link's and epona's running was goofy looking, especially epona's was really choppy and chunky looking
July 7th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
o yea! if you were born in the early 90's pokemon was awesome. red blue gold and silver are going to be classic games. except for stadium, the ones after that are crap in my opinion
July 7th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
ok after reading the article "Long Live The Triforce… Or Not" (http://www.zeldainformer.com/2009/07/long-live-th... this idea came to me. what if the next one is set ahead of OoT and TP. because of Link saving Hyrule from evil, the king arranges a marriage between Link and Zelda, making Link king. then like 40 years after the marriage and what not, Ganon and other great evil figures in the history of hyrule raise an army and invades Hyrule and Link sends out his eldest son to fight him. fighting through the other figures (dungeons) he gets to ganon but after destroying/killing ganon some evil demi-god is revealed and was using ganon as a puppet. and to fight the god the son has to get some pre-goddess weapon (preferably other than sword and bow, maybe and axe or epic hammer?) and destroy the tri-force to access the dark realm, twilight, or where ever the bad guys go to fight this god
or does this sound to corny?
July 7th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
hopefully Miyamoto will have a lot of involvement in this one to make it his last great zelda game and make it perfect. i know that he wanted to get out of the zelda series, and i think it would be interesting to see what he can do with all the capabilities of the new systems since he's kind of an old school designer. he might be able to one-up other games and designers with how he'll use the capabilities.
just pray nintendo will let him access these things
July 14th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Maybe one of the dungeons is really a spaceship built by aliens!
One of the main dungeon traps is air locks that send link to hyrule field and deal 5 hearts of damage!
I'd both love and hate that dungeon.
da-da-da-daaaaa! I got an item! i love this dungeon!
SHHHOOP! AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!! I plummeted to hyrule! I hate this dungeon!
July 14th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
So…Link isn't the protagonist?
And He's another fat king?
Will he be drunk on magic milk when he decides to send his firstborn into the midst of ganon's army?
July 14th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Complaining won't make the fanboys stop, much as you want them too.
And it's T, not PG13. ESRB rates games, and they use a different system.
July 14th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
All caps? all craps…
And that exclamation contributes nothing to this thingeemawhateveritis.
July 14th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
But red/blue were extremely glitched up.
They were the Kings of Glitches.
And if you were born when pokemon came out, you would be too young to care about Nintendo. You would care more about food and fresh diapers.
July 18th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
im disappointed. I was sure this one was gonna be revolutionary.
July 19th, 2009 at 4:23 am
probably, that sounds like him
but what do you think of it?
