A new Zelda game is launching in just a few months (Q4 2009 according to Nintendo), the first Zelda game since 2007's Phantom Hourglass and yet the internet is pretty quiet about it. Sure the DS's fall/winter lineup is extremly strong with Scribblenauts, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Call Of Duty: Mobilized to name a few but it's still odd that the next big Zelda game isin't getting any sort of hype, or at least the hype it deserves.

Is it becasue Phantom Hourglass had a lukewarm reception from hardcore Zelda fans?

Is it becasue of the upcoming Wii Zelda game?

Do you have your own conspiracy theories?

nintendo is not helping either.

There is still time... funny enough PH was the first Zelda that I trully enjoyed And this one looks just as good There will be hype IMO just in time for the release

Because it's not on a console.

What RCT said...

Which is odd, any Zelda is epic.

The hype is off looking for a decent control scheme so the game can actually be fun to play. Phantom Hourglass's control scheme ruined the game for me. I would buy the game day one if it promised me the ability to use the buttons on the DS. They are there for a reason!

because it's on rails.. duh!!

and yeah, there aren't any news about the game too

Probably because the DS' lineup is completely loaded this holiday.

The best portable Zelda is Link´s Awakening, the rest is garbage

What the DS has a loaded holiday? Since when?
Personally my hype is average for this game. Looking forward to it, gonna read lots of reviews, yada yada yada.
