I've updated a few things and I'll continue to do so..
I just would like to take this opportunity to make a prediction that I really hope Nintendo proves me wrong with..
This is copied and pasted from a wall post I made last night:
"Yes well that's one of those leap of faith predictions lol but if you would allow me to explain myself..
Firstly your standard console Zelda game takes 3 years to develop. I expect the next one to be a major shift in what Zelda has been up until now. It'll be more accessible much like Mario Kart Wii but the fact is it'll have many new ideas.
If you read my other thoughts, I also stated that I believe Nintendo likes to hold games back for strategic reasons. So even if it could be ready for the holidays this year, I don't think it'll be released as it seems to be a strong year and I think Nintendo will suprise us with other games.
A Four Swords Adventure game would take half the time to make with a much smaller team. Phantom Hourglass came out 6 months after Twilight Princess so both games were being developed at the same time which is what I think is happening right now.
So my prediction is: Nintendo will decide to hold Zelda off til next year by diverting resources to the portable game so that it gets finished this year and Zelda Wii doesn't."
So there you go.. I think it's a very real possibility that we'll get a spin off this year and a major installment next year.
