Forums - Nintendo - Does Wii Zelda Really Make Sense This E3?

Umm the second screen isn't SNES it's GC... It's Four Swords Adventures.

Was the master sword in FSA? I didn't remeber it being there. Then again I only played the game once while I played the other games  at least more than once.

It's not the master sword.... It's the Four Sword that divides Link into... Well four.

Oh ok, well here is some snes graphics.

Still a considerable upgrade.

 



I didn't deny it I just pointed out it was GC. Of course it was a great upgrade... ALttP is one of the best looking game on SNES. Everything looked so much better and you actually tell what the stuff was if you know what I mean. XD



I too doubt they will use the same engine, it's pretty old at this stage. Would be nice to see something built from the ground up, and i'd put the chances of seeing a trailer (nothing more) at about 50% unless Nintendo is REALLY taking the game in a totally different direction.

The time span between Zeldas has been a lot shorter in recent years than you seem to think. One of them hits the console about every two years, so an E3 announcement for the game this Fall wouldn't be out of the question.

There's been a Zelda out pretty much every year this decade.. I seriously doubt they're ready to actually release the new one one this year but we should see an announcement or something.

 

 



I think it could happen, but the way Iwata's been doing things lately, it wouldn't surprise me if they announced it NEXT E3 and released it just months later for the holiday season.

I hope they don't do that. I want to see mah Zelda. ;_;



A new Zelda makes a lot of sense as an E3 08 announcement. Plenty of reasons have been stated so far, including the pattern Nintendo has had in the past with this series. There is really very little reason for there not to be a new Zelda in 09, and it's one series I just can't see then keeping completely under wraps until the last minute... especially since they talked about it last E3.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

It makes sense as a crowd teaser - a 20sec trailer at the very end of the show, would send the crowd into rapture and keep everyone very happy.

Expect to see it playable on the floor E3 '09, and released for Xmas '09.

Unless its a surprise release for this Xmas (now wouldn't THAT be a surprise?), it won't take the limelight away from the other games they will show off.

 Yep that is true.  I would love to see some sorta teaser at E3...but I'm not really counting on it. .

Also just for reference as to the announce vs release date for Zelda titles since OoT.  Taken from http://purenintendo.com/2008/06/29/why-nintendo-should-announce-a-new-zelda-and-ds-at-e3/
