Holy Wiimotes, Batman! Is Zelda Wii going to be released this year? Nintendo President Satoru Iwata claims that this is indeed the case. In an interview with Japan’s Asashi Shimbun Daily, he said “You are now less than 365 days away from a new console Zelda game”.
If this is the case, then we’re in for a good year with not only Zelda, but other major releases such as Mario Galaxy 2 and the mysterious Metroid: Other M. So get going to the forums and express your excitement and joy! And later your anger as Nintendo decides to delay the game for months.
The Zelda team have been giving hints about the content of the game for a couple of months now, and have confirmed that they will reveal a lot more about the game at E3 2010. Zelda Director Eiji Aonuma had this to say back in November 2009: “So far, the basic flow of the Zelda games is you’re exploring a field, you go to a dungeon, you conquer it and return to the field. We’re looking at altering that traditional flow. That’s all I can share, and I can’t say more until E3 next year.”
Aonuma has also stated that the last big console Zelda game, Twilight Princess, didn’t fully complete Nintendo’s objective of creating the most realistic and immersive Zelda experience ever, and says that Zelda Wii will take what they’ve built in Twilight Princess and adapt it for a more realistic playing experience.
Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland was released only in Japan and Europe, never making it to the USA due to lackluster sales. Surprisingly, the game was well-received among those who did play and review the game. You play as Tingle, a 35-year-old (and single) man lost in the world. Guided by the mysterious figure Uncle Rupee, Tingle fills a mystical spring with money and gain access to the wonderful Rupeeland, a paradise where nobody has to work. Along the way, hire body guards to protect Tingle – but from what? All may not be as it seems in Tingle’s quest for monetary gain, and Rupeeland just might not be so rosy after all...
I hope it has multi player and uses nintendo Wifi
lol, seems as if a ton of people are *dying* due to this! A new Mario AND a new Zelda in the same year?! I might also die of said excitement… 0.0
Ya, like I said in my entry, Zelda is going to be known now as a serial killer. XD
WHAT!? NOOOOOOO!!!!! wasn't in, like, April one year!? that's to long!!!!!!
ROFL, Chainy we gotta love you're enthusiasm. I always end up laughing when I read your entries. Glad to know you're as excited as well.
And BTW, does anybody know if E3 has a live stream going online? I would want to go, but I think I'd end up not being able to go so I should just try for online.
AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! W00T W00T!!! *Attempts to dance but utterly fails…*
O_O OMG OMG OMG its about time !!!!
By that last sentence, I hope that doesn't mean that the same models are going to be used over again like in Majora's Mask. That concept won't work well with Twilight Princes to Zelda Wii, unless it's a direct sequel.
okay this is going to be the best zelda game ever. the poster looks so epic. sadly it doesnt look like its going to have midna or any of the fairies you had in the other games. In my opinion the master sword is a spirit and this spirit can transform from sword to spirit any time. she'll probably be as helpful and guide us through dungeons and tell us how to defeat bosses. I still cant believe there finally making another zelda game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@OMIGHTY You forgot Metroid.
awesome!
who's excited?!
i know were all thinking about delays and all that, but this is a good moment so none of that! just think, by the end of the year, well have a new zelda! woot!
2010 may as well be the Wii's swan song.
" I still cant believe there finally making another zelda game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
…..Seriously ?
>.>
I could have told you that they would make this game back in 1996 lol.
I hope they don't make too realistic, because then it won't feel real. My older brother said the OoT felt so real to him.
A delayed game is good eventually, but a bad game is bad forever.
Wow. Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, and now the new Wii Zelda are coming out in the same year! I can tell from that alone that this will be an awesome year for Nintendo.
NIN-2010-DO
I wonder if there's any way to e-mail the big guys on that games dev team personally. I'd love to chime in a bit on what I'd like to see. What they said, about disrupting that flow, is exactly it! I loved that about TP, that there were things in between (like the fight with the moblin king on the boar, and the getting that wagon to Kakariko, etc.). The more of that stuff, the better. And make it longer!
there is only ONE way to make a zelda game better than OoT and that is to make a new zelda game from the ground up with MORE dungons HARDER bosses less time running around hyrule feild and MORE action and oh u know what else it needs longer dungons so ur not able to go and do 1 dungon an hour just to beat the next dungon an hour later but still
make it harder longer and more stratigic and uve made a LoZ game better than OoT 
AWMAHGODAWMAHGODAWMAHGOD!
YESS! I CAN'T WAIT NOW.
I'VE ONLY RECENTLY FINISHED THE NEW SPIRIT TRACKS & NOW TO KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER NEW ZELDA GAME COMMING OUT JUST WARMS MY ZELDA HEART. ~
CANTWAIT.
Sorry about all the caps but Zelda = AWESOMNESS.
Alot of people are worried about it being rushed, but Majora's Mask was made in one ear and it turned out to be debatebly the best Zelda game ever, I know it's my favorite, so, I'm not too worried at all.
I hope that this one will be even more “required” quests between Dungeons, not that there werent many past titles, but it would be awesome if there were stricter requirments in order to enter a dungeon. This title will definitly have longer gameplay and more detail, because TP could fit on a GC disc and that was a fairly long game. so using as much as the data on a Wii Disc as possible should allow for more detail,longer dungeons and even more awesome soundtracks.
CONFIRMED FOR OCTOBER 2010 !!
it's NOT this year for America, it's this year for Japan and 5 months later for America and everywhere else.
I've been a bit surprised with Nintendo the past 12 months. ST was not even known this time last year yet 9 months after seeing footage of the game we're all here playing it! I was expecting it to be delayed and for once I was wrong.
As for the so "called" Zelda Wii we haven't seen any video footage yet although it was mentioned at last years E3 and we've been hearing a lot of hints about the game too so a 2010 release would not surprise me although at the same time if I had to put my money on it I'd still say 2011 before it's released worldwide!?
{blush} uh……..th-thank you. I just wish I could be that enthusiastic in real life. hehe….
Lol. But if you can't be enthusiastic for a new Zelda game, what can you be enthusiastic for? Zelda's worth it. ^_^
To linkbroken: Its people like you i dont like. You will refuse to beleive anything can top Ocarina of time and therefore you will set yourself up for a dissapointment. I dislike the stubborness. My personal favorite was wind waker.

nothing more to say.
You know what's something I'd love to see done with Zelda again… is a dungeon crawler. I don't think there has been a Zelda game with as many dungeons as Link to the Past. I mean I'm not saying I don't love side quests, Majora's Mask was one of the most fleshed out and wonderful worlds ever and it only had 4 dungeons technically.
On the other side I'd love to see a Zelda game where you are hopping from one dungeon to the next without all the overworld empty space. Here's hoping though we get some of that in the next Zelda game.
Well,you guys, why can't there be a comprimise between more Dungeon/action time, and more roaming space to get to explore Hyrule, or the new land? I'd persoanlly like there to be more action and more cutscenes, mainly because it's like a action movie, and I love watching them. TP stole my heart with the cutscenes and music (especially at the end between Link, Zelda, and Midna too). But I'd also love to have more roaming space out on the field when I've just completed a dungeon or compltede a side quest. I don't always want to go right back into a dungeon, but rather take my time and enjoy te land (unless the game is actually going to show signs of progressoin and the longer you take, the worse the land and people and creatures get). But yes, I do like to be able to ride around on Epona through Hyrule field in both OoT and TP. And, I wish that they would add more activities for you and Epone to do, like more horse races or gate jumping, and even being able to actually do some work around the ranch.
But anyway,I'm someone who wants both more action and longer gameplay, and a bigger and more interesting Hyrule (or whatever the land may be called). They're both fun!
The overworld needs a lot more in it in general in the next Zelda game, Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time were empty wastelands for the most part. There wasn't even grass really… just ground/grass textures… I want a more luscious over world, flowing fields, wheat fields, long grass, short grass, scattered rocks, small mountains, and forests that aren't just areas with trees that acts as walls…. valleys, rivers and so forth.
There should be wildlife in it too, octoroks walking the land, and unique hylian creatures (creatures that aren't that aren't simply enemies).
All these things would help make for a more epic Hyrule, something that is chock full to explore and enjoy. I don't think they should skimp on overworld, but they shouldn't be empty spaces. Then horse riding would be more enjoyable even.
Yes Maverickk, I completely agree with you on that. I can't tell you how many time I would want to have more in detail or more ongoing side things to do when I'm not in action. And I kind of wish that the game could be almost like a Animal Crossing type game at the same time. Like you could run errands for people and get items in return. And like more horse related things like the horese racing or the gate jumping, even being able to round up the cattle and being able to have more than 2 or 3 horses with in the game. I would like to ba able to ride more than one horse at a ranch if there's one in the next game…. Imma horse freak, as well as a LoZ freak… ^_^.
But yeah, I agree with you and what you said. Thanks for mentioning it.
W00T!
i hope they take their time, a good game must not be rushed (Y) CAN't WAIT ZELDA FTW
I hope they are able to fix the "foot in the hill" problem…
It bugs me worse than a useless slingshot
When I think of TP, the first thing that rushes in my mind are Link, Epona, and the grass textures of hyrule field. That's my vision of the game. Damnit, Zelda Wii should have more variety of locations. But I don't care, that much anyway. It's Zelda. I can't wait to play this. Though the idea of the Master Sword spirit lady seens so damn awesome.
I'd really like to see just how much they will open the plot concepts here.
Twilight Princess's development ended in like 2004.. Then was pushed cause of the port to the wii. So if its true the development started immediately after TP's development then they've had 6 whole years to create a new Zelda designed specifically for wii. I suppose they couldnt leave the wii console behind without making a Zelda specifically for the wii as TP was originally a GC game. So with 6 years to work with hopefully they came up with something amazing. Not to mention they still have time to work with it..
OMFG!!!!!! cant wait to play this game!!!!ohhh gooddddddd this is gonna be the best of zeldas ever made?!??!? who knows! well TP was good, but i was loosing hopes cuz’ they were just creating games for DS, and that suks! what about the wii? but now my din,farore and nayru have listened to my pleas!!! yaaaay!
Yay!! This makes me so happy! ^_^ Can't wait to see the first trailer and find out what it's called.
somebody ANYBODY PLEASE tell me is this game going to be a sequel to twilight princess!
plz tell me this is a sequel to twilight princess SOMEBODY
nobody knows the plot or title of even gameplay of this game, the only thing they showed us was a little art of link and a mysterious spirit or something, so you're wasting your time with asking this
We at least know a little of the Other M through trailors, SMG2 is probably gonna feel like a clone of the first game with new levels and harder bosses. Zelda wii doesn't even have title yet, and people are getting this hyped? I'm excited about this too, but god…chill out people. We've waited four freaking years…and twilight princess wasn't even a "wii" game, but just the gamecube version ported over to the wii.
EPIC WIN! This is gonna kick the xbox and the ps3 right in the ass!!!!
This is great! I just hope it's a hard game, I was new to video games when i got ocarina of time but it still took me the better part of 4 years….. Afterwards i beat zelda games within months and tp was really easy. Looking for a challenge as i've completed almost every zelda game 100%. I'm not sure about Changing the flow and style of my favorite franchise though.
I really can not wait anymore! Always have been and always will be a Zelda player.. It's been awhile since they released TP, so they must have been starting to develop a new game right away (like they always seem to do)
But remembering everytime a new Zelda game was about to be released, I recall it has always been this way that we had to wait for one more year than the actual release date. But it's always worth the waiting.
Still can't get enough of the game (wondering why Zelda always needs to be rescued *sighs* She nevers learns to flee in time from Ganon(dorf)
But anyway.. OMG a new Zelda!!!!! *waiting patiently*
