June 2, 2009 - If you were wondering why there was no new Zelda news at Nintendo's E3 press conference this morning, it's because Mr. Miyamoto wanted to save a little something for his own private roundtable. At the closed door, no-photographs-allowed discussion with a select group of journalists this afternoon, the man who created Link dropped details and showed off artwork of the Hero in Green's next iteration.

The next console Zelda adventure will feature a Link who is more mature than ever before, and a swordplay system that is far more advanced than any ever seen before in the series. The game may ship as a MotionPlus-only design, as well, which should give you an idea of the swordfighting scheme Shigeru has in the works.

"Think of Zelda while you're trying some of the archery and sword play in Wii Sports Resort," Miyamoto said.

If the next Zelda were to employ MotionPlus in that way (and it totally will), it would be a significant shift for the property -- and one that may well be the change the franchise needs.

"There are people who think of Zelda more as an RPG with simpler controls, so trying to figure out how to make everybody happy is something that's going to concern me," says Miyamoto.

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available. And get hyped!

7:04 p.m.: "We'd like to make it compatible with Wii MotionPlus. It's quite possible it will be playable only with Wii MotionPlus."

7:03 p.m.: Shows new illustration for the next Zelda for Wii. Nothing to show yet, but it shows an adult link. More grown up than ever before.

Yay.

Yep just read that myself, cant wait i think some things could be great with WM+ and i just hope they use the gfx of the wii fully to capture that amazing landscape of hyrule

I want to see the "more grown up than ever before" look so I can bestow it with my arbitrary judgment.

Seems like how he is talking about it is not very close to being done.

Sounds like he's very personally involved though, which is a damn good thing.

fraken tease Shiggy is.

Last year Pikmin 3 this year Zelda.

Yes it is but remember what happened with LoZ:TP he didnt like it so they re did it several times and got it delayed many times. However hopefully this means that since he is working personally on it then there will be no delays for them not doing it the way he sees fit.

Nice... at least we got something xD

I love seeing people get excited over so little.

"OMG CONFIRMEDZZZ"

What difference does it make when we knew it would come eventually anyway, hell it isn't going to release for another year and a half at least.

True but its always good to know that it is def being made. Hopefully that pic will be released and will soon to be my new wall paper.
