A brief update on Zelda HD:

“When we did Skyward Sword for the Wii, at the end stages of development, I was in charge of the characters’ dialogue and the in-game text. And, now as well, it’s like it was then. I had to work on text today, too,”

“But, the game has really taken shape, and things have gotten easier. That means things are progressing well.”

“I think the base of our secret sauce has always been Ocarina of Time. But this time, the change in flavor will be like going from Japanese food to Western style food. Perhaps, players will be surprised.”

“Please look forward to it, because I think we’ll be able to make ‘something new’ like Ocarina of Time was,”

Seriously, just show it.

Show us a trailer already! Stop teasing, I just want a little look...and a release date as soon as possible.

Yeah, he is just a dick teasing us for months, actually years, and not a single real trailer.

I think the obsession Nintendo has about replicating OoT is going to bite them in the ass in the future. There are other games besides OoT. Another Zelda inspired by WindWaker's heavy focus on exploration or Majora's Mask's dark and mysterious atmosphere could be a good game too.

I think TWW was Aonuma's first attempt to mix OoT with Zelda NES.

And who the hell voted for the second option to buy blindly a game?!

I know, but considering how radically different WW ended up being, it can pave the way to really great exploration and adventure games.

I'm sure the game is gonna be great, but I would like to see it with my own two eyes whether they can deliver or not. Last thing we got was those 20-ish seconds last year, but that barely showed anything :(

We still don't know that much about the game itself. Was really hoping for a real trailer at the last direct, but It didn't show up :(

Uu boy, careful not to hype it up too much Aonuma... u_u;

Yep, I mean, we don't even know the name of the game. WTF happend this gen?

Hehehe, I agree 100%

Japanese food to western food? Very interesting analogy, Aonuma. That sounds pretty exciting. 

Sounds like Aonuma is trying to say Zelda U will have some modern day western concepts, which is a good thing for an open world game.
