E3 2009: Miyamoto confirms new Wii Zelda

Speaking at Nintendo's roundtable discussion Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed that a new Wii Zelda title is in development.

"To be honest with you, I really wanted to announce a Zelda game for Wii at this E3. But rather than think about something to bring you to show you, we really wanted to focus on actual game development," he said. "However I didn't want to come empty handed, so I did bring the next illustration for the next Zelda title."

Miyamoto then showed an oil painting image of Link on the screen behind him. A pale blue figure wearing a helmet in the foreground and the Legend of Zelda logo at the bottom is all the media was treated to. Unfortunately no photography was allowed at the behind closed doors event.

"This illustration does contain elements that are central to the storyline, and I hope it does prove to you we are quite far into the development of the title," Miyamoto said. "I would like to say we hope to bring it to you next year. It may take a little longer."

Miyamoto revealed that it was likely to be compatible with Wii MotionPlus, but did not confirm it. That might give you an idea of how far along development is. Maybe we won't see it next year after all.

i think its better if they take there time and make it AWSOME than just trying to rush it. hope they make it with MotionPlus, wouldnt even mind waiting another year if they do that.

ive got epic expectations for the next zelda game. Combined with wii motion plus, you could control links sword in 1:1 motion! And the archery like it was shown on the wii sports resort demo!!
i dont know if thats the direction they will take, but itd be sweet if they did

I just hope we see something different from this game. don't get me wrong Zelda games are fun but the basis of nearly every Zelda game is the same. Same Zelda, same link, same Hyrule, same Ganon, same shield, sword, bow, boomerang, and when ever your in a dungeon it's go around the level until you defeat the midboss then you get an item, then use that item to get around the rest of the level, until u fight the main boss which will give u the item u need to get to the next dungeon. So on and so on until you fight Ganon.

How many times in twilight princess did you fight a boss when their weakness was their eye/eyes

Though I was hoping it would have been in development much, much earlier than this. Just means we have to wait and be teased longer.

Yeah i agree. they need something fresh and new. I hate it how you get an item that can only really be used in a few places in the game.

I still don't have a clue as too what the blue figure is, it doesn't look a thing like a Zora to me, but I can't say it's automatically Zelda just because she has worn a robe before.

hope it comes out next year. this zelda is going to have new devolopers and some old ones as well. every zelda game was very successful so theres no doubt that this one is going to be AWESOME! and with motion + (maybe) it would be even better.

its obvious in that picture that the girl is the master sword cos link doesnt have his sword ou.miyamoto even said theres a clue in an interview.
