Okay, found it: http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/supermario128/news.html?sid=6174737

[4:24] That's all he can say about Phantom Hourglass today. Instead, he moves on to discuss...what's coming in the next Zelda project. Holy cow.

[4:25] Aonuma has a bullet-point list of features in his head already that he wants to implement in the next Zelda. Miyamoto forbade him from letting us in on the secret, though. Rats.

[4:26] But he says he has a child-like excitement about something new like this, and he wants to let us in on the info immediately.

[4:28] Luckily, he doesn't want us to wait for years on end to receive details on the next Zelda, as we've had to do in the past. What a nice guy.

[4:29] The Q&A session with Aonuma begins.

[4:31] When asked about whether we'll see sequels to either Phantom Hourglass or Twilight Princess, he leaves the possibility open to both.

[4:31] Q: If there's another Wii Zelda, will it have one-to-one sword control with the Wii remote? A: We haven't fleshed out all the gameplay ideas yet, but we're certainly open to possibilities.

[4:33] His favorite thing about Phantom Hourglass? Link can be seen scribbling on his map just as you annotate your own. He didn't even know his staff had included such a small detail, until his son gleefully pointed it out.

[4:34] Continues to answer questions about the multiplayer mode, which has Link fleeing from a number of pursuing statues through a maze.

[4:35] Q: After the lessons learned from Phantom Hourglass, will you continue to apply this philosophy of simplification to all future Zeldas?

[4:35] A: Streamlining the gameplay has been effective so far, but they'll wait for feedback from American and European players before making final decisions.

Just so you folks know; TP used TWW's engine. Zelda Wii most certainly will feature a new one.

As to what the game will be like, we simply do not know. TP flopped in Japan, so Nintendo might not make a sequel to it. A sequel to TWW/PH is possible. On the other hand, Aonuma said TWW's graphic style might be more suitable for handheld titles. Either way, expect something other than the typical Ganondorf-Triforce-Hyrule saga.

Also, Miyamoto said TP would be the last Zelda as we knew it, but what that means we do not know.

Personally, I expect the team to take what they learned in PH and make an excellent Wii title. No OoT-sequelitis this time, in other words.

That's more a rumor than a fact...

Twilight Princess was the most succesful Zelda game in Japan since Ocarina of Time. It's hardly a flop, considering how the series has never been big around there.

I seriously hope they make a whole new engine for the next console Zelda, and leave the Ocarina of Time gameplay behind. It was fine when they made it, but it's feeling stiff in 2007, and they've used it in like four games already. So far it's been great, but the franchise is in danger of stagnating if they don't add something seriously new to the formula.



Words Of Wisdom on 28 October 2007

I know it would never happy but it would be really awesome to have a Legend of Zelda game that focused on Zelda.  Seeing Zelda in Smash Bros. Melee showed that she had some pretty nice power.  Combine that with the fact that she does have the Triforce of Wisdom...

I don't think it would be a real Legend of Zelda game if it didn't star Link, but having the alternative to play as Zelda would be pretty awesome.
