According to IGN’s Matt Casamassina after the Nintendo press conference he managed to get a sit down with Shigeru Miyamoto to ask an important question ‘Will there be a new Zelda game anytime soon?’ Apparently there will be (eventually) as Miyamoto confirmed that not only is there one title in the works but two! To see what Miyamoto said hit the jump.
“The Zelda team in particular always works on Zelda titles. The core members of the Zelda team have for a very long time now been focused on Zelda games, and continue to focus on Zelda games, so they are hard at work and working away,”
He then went on to talk about his other Zelda team…
“And then, of course, we have the DS Zelda team as well, so even there we’re having some switching of people in and out where the DS team is mixing in with the Wii team and working on the Wii version.”
Miyamoto also went onto say that there will be some “fundamental changes” something that has been said before around the time of Links Crossbow training. So who knows what we will be seeing in the future, but it’s good to know some titles will be on the way even if it might be a year or three away.
There freakin’ better be!
First-Person Zelda: Link’s Master Sword training!!! (Maybe…BigGoron Sword training.)
I still like the idea of a 2-D Zelda game on Wii discussed on this site some time ago. Rather than a 16-bit version, however, it would be great to see it filled with hand-drawn or ever watercolour painted graphics with fluid animation. With 2-D graphics, the game could be huge in size, but also more accessible to more players.

Wind Waker Wii please! With 1:1 support!
I will destroy all that oppose this game mentally. :]
@ El Hajjish:
You jerk. Now you’ve got me drooling.
Yeah, I KNEW I remembered Shiggy saying that Twilight Princess was the last Zelda “as we know it” and that the next one would be fundamentally different. That article last week suggested that it would go back to 2-D. But now that we have 1:1 motion control, I think that’s an extremely like candidate for the change. Sure TP used motion control for sword fighting in the Wii version, but it’s not really motion control if you really think about it. When I first heard that you could swing the Wiimote to swing your sword, what I was think about was basically this 1:1 shtick. But TP is basically just a little shimmy and shake, not motion sensing. It may as well have been a button push.
And yes, Bii, yes. Wind Waker with 1:1 please!
Sorry Sensai,
I couldn’t resist. I’ve been thinking about this game ever since that article!
i can has screenshotz?
Drahken says what we are all hoping for: true swordfighting action. Well, with a little creative liscencing for the spin attack. I don’t wanna make myself dizzy, after all.
i lot of people on various message boards/comments sections are eager to see more Zelda games, but i’ve also read many messages from people who don’t think another one is needed in the near future.
I like the idea of a 1:1 Zelda Wii game but could be pleasantly suprised if the portable Zelda guys were working on an original IP, just for the sake of something different.
don’t worry Nintendo, if you do create some new IP games and then spend the next 20 years re-hashing them, I really won’t hold it against you!
make a first person zelda using motion plus for sword fighting. and make the sequel to 4 swords for the DS. it was originally planned for the DS way back, but phantom hourglass came out instead. i don’t know what the state of 4 swords is now for the DS.

hahahaha
Miyamoto sure loves to toy with our hearts and minds…
Vague hints, cryptic answers, you’re driving us crazy, Nintendo!
Zelda isn’t about a sword fighting mechanic. Oh, to be sure, a Zelda game without actual real-time combat, with item switching, wouldn’t be a Zelda game, but there’s also the core of the levels, which is room-sized and dungeon-sized puzzle solving.
I’m glad they decided to throw us drooling, whimpering dogs a Zelda bone.
