DanneSandin said: Well, putting it the way you do I'm inclined to agree :D sounds like they might be working on something like that!! But I'm hoping for something more aching to A Link to the Past! I know Miyamoto have expressed interest in remaking that very game, so a new entry in the same style would seem appropriate. It would also leave the "Zelda-team" free to make a console Zelda (if Retro isn't working on that) |
There are actually two designated Zelda teams, one for home consoles and one for handheld consoles. Grezzo is an outside party to those two teams. It is likely that whatever Grezzo is doing right now, there are two Zelda games currently in development within Nintendo EAD, so using Grezzo to make a smaller game wouldn't be tying up Nintendo's Zelda teams.

What in hyrule historia makes it clear that it's a four swords game?
My other doubt is, wasn't there a four sword in the GBA remake of LttP? Couldn't it be that game? Did that one actually have a story? (Never played it)

There seems to be some confusion here, only natural since the Zelda timeline is so ridiculous. The first Four Swords game was a bonus game in the 2002 GBA LttP remake developed by Capcom. It has a very simple story about a sorcerer named Vaati who kidnaps Zelda and a magic sword that splits Link into up to four people for multiplayer purposes. As often happens in Zelda games, the backstory of Four Swords describes a legend of a similar event happening in the past -- Vaati appeared, started kidnapping maidens (a favorite past-time of Zelda villains), a hero used the Four Sword to defeat Vaati. Four Swords Adventures for GameCube was a sequel to this game. The Minish Cap was a prequel showing Vaati's rise to power and first defeat, but the events of Minish Cap did not line up with the legend described in Four Swords.
Hyrule Historia lays out the entire timeline of the Zelda series, and once again describes the legend from the beginning of Four Swords, confirming that it is not a "misinterpretation" of the events of The Minish Cap:
(from GlitterBerri's translation) Peace returned briefly to Hyrule as Vaati was presumed killed, until he one day reappeared to terrorize the land once more. Vaati kidnapped many beautiful maidens and brought them to the Wind Palace in the sky that he had taken.
At this moment, a hero wielding the legendary sword appeared. Using the sword, he split his body in four to defeat Vaati and seal him away inside the Four Sword in the Four Sword Sanctuary.

Unlike the prologues of The Wind Waker or Skyward Sword, in which no hero appeared, or of The Minish Cap, in which no antagonist was described, these events seem to perfectly line up with a hypothetical Four Swords game that never was.

The Four Swords remake was made last year as part of Zelda's anniversary celebrations. I'm talking about a completely new game, a prequel to Four Swords, not a remake.
