According to our insider source who wishes to remain anonymous, Nintendo is working hard to get a trailer made on a working build of the next Wii Zelda game. According to our source, the trailer will launch in October at an upcoming conference [Nintendo Business media summit?] and it will show shed some light onto the mystery of why Link didn’t have a sword.
As much as we can speculate to what is in the trailer, I hope to see that there is atleast a mention of Wii Motion Plus in the next Zelda game. What do you guys think about that?
Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.
Two words: Can't Wait.
YAYYYYY! Hopefully it's something awesome like the Wind Waker reveal trailer.
Ha ha, news about a trailer. Actually, I only semi-scoff, because, actually, I'm very interested in seeing what this game has in store for us. I can't imagine where this one is headed and I look forward to some surprises.
I hope there is wii motion plus to because after a while i actually got tired of the same old sword swings i want to do my own instead of horizontal why not be able to chop off different body part or sweep down and trip them then a downward stab to the eye. Shigeru is the only one that knows.I wonder how many items could benefit,hopefully new items. I actually thought that the motion plus couldn't replicate everything i did but I was surprised I thought there where limits in Frisbee golf but you can turn the frisbee upside down so I don't know hopefully you can't poke your eye out,don't run with the sword out,if there is one.
I was playing MM this weekend, and left the sword to be reforged. I was able to clear the Zora's egg quest without it, but it made the fight against the thieves a little more challenging (which became easier once I decided to use the Goron's mask, duh). There may be interesting gameplay mechanics if link has no access to a sword.
Ugh. Pre-hyping a trailer? That's so Gears of War or something. Very un-Nintendo–I wonder if they've officially lost their way with the Zelda franchise?
i'm giddy with speculation and truly can't wait.
@ Jack – Nintendo's not hyping the trailer. In fact, Nintendo hasn't said a word about the trailer, only infendo's informant has said anything. The informant could be lying, could be mistaken, or could have nothing to do with Nintendo's intentions.
Nintendo is not the one pre-hyping a trailer. We are.
Ahhh! I have that figurine, I have the full set in fact, I take great pleasure in swapping Zelda's and Link's heads…. Yes I'm weird…
Good about the trailer though, I'm not fussed by what it reviels. We know it will be in the same style as Twilight Princess and mainly more of the same with some new gameplay elements/new story.
I loved Twilight Princess, even the waggle sword moves were cool, a nice alternative to button presses. As long as the sensor bar aiming is still there I'm happy. Wii motion plus could be really cool but I fear it will make the game too tiring to play. Zelda is the kind of game I like to sit down and relax with most of the time I don't want to have to think about which way I'm swiping my wiimote so I can best get a combo. WM+ would be a good addition, but I can't see me liking it for full time zelda controls.
A new trailer out in October for the newest Zelda game huh? I personally hope it's good. I wanna see how WiiMotion Plus works out for that game. Should be good if Aonuma & Miyamoto are working on it.
What has me even more interested is the Nintendo Business Media Summit. Hopefully the DSi VC comes out into the opening from Iwata-san. This, I feel is an issue that's LOONG OVERDUE and needs to be solved ASAP!
Good news that they are in a place in development where they can, at the least, show off a teaser trailer.
Zelda hype is Zelda hype, good no matter what way you look at it.
Tom: Exactly what I were going to say to Jack! 😀
I creamed myself just at the thought of a new Zelda trailer.
BRING IT ON!!!
Urk… I just have a gut feeling that this "source" is wrong. I hope he's not, though.
I love LoZ, I can't wait.
I would love to see some polished recreation of Resort's archery and swordplay integrated into this (though I thought they were pretty much bob on first time round) – would certainly make battles more intense if you were relying solely on your sword swinging/arrow flinging abilities!
Either way I'm looking forward to seeing this – assuming it comes. I remember the Twilight Princess trailer showing at E3 about 4/5 years ago and was ridiculously excited. Just hope Nintendo doesn't wait another 4 years to release the game once they've shown the trailer!
Nintendo has lost it's way with Zelda, Jack (at least on the Wii)!
I know I can't be the only one who isn't all that excited about the upcoming Twilight Princess Rehash (which itself was a rehash of Ocarina of Time). I wish Eiji Aonuma would stop trying to recreate Ocarina of Time (and that Nintendo execs would stop pressuring him to). There can never be another Ocarina of Time as long Nintendo tries to copy Ocarina of Time's formula. They should instead try to recreate the conditions under which they made Ocarina of Time. Spend three years making the new Zelda if you have to, just don't waste all your time and effort trying to make Ocarina of Time 2.0, because that just isn't going to fly with Zelda fans.
It's Zelda we want to see out of the trailer…having WMP in the game will be an added bonus. But I gurantee you won't see any solid proof of its implementation in the trailer when it does release. That's kinda of a silly wish to want out of a Zelda trailer.
Will it come out in October? Hmm…the optimistic side in me says, "yes of course!". The realistic side of me says,…"probably not."
Nintendo excels at keeping a tight closed lid on such information. People's jobs are at stake if they leak anything. Big N is arguably the best at maintaining that kind of order. So I'd take this info with a grain of salt fellas. "Rumor"..indeed.
I love all the Zelda games but it seems most of us want to see a new formula. BTW OoT did not start that formula. I get a bit sick of everyone saying that. The original Zelda did. Ocarina copied A Link to the Past and that one copied the original. It's the same everytime, although good as well. What if they used the NES Zelda 2 story and made it 3D for a change. You would have many foreign towns, castles instead of dungeons, and a totally new narrative. It's not any more a remake than anything else I've heard. Treat it like it's totally new and see what happens. It's better than the mastersword formula for the hundredth time.
Nintendo mntioned this on they're Twitter.
YES! A new game! I hope that it takes place in ordon village again!
I Can't Wait for the trailer i really want to know he don't have the Mastersword and i Really want to know whats the title called I REALLY WAN'T THIS GAME

Serious Vidya News Right Hurr!
It feels good to know a game will be good! 🙂
Please Nintendo release a new trailer for Zelda, then take as much time as you want to make sure the game is in top shape. I just need actual confirmation that the game is in the works now and not on plotting mode :]
You are fucking crap you announced something that never hapenned you suck !
miyamoto doing Keynote at a Digital Contents Expo at the end of the month…..
that might be the chance we see somthing. fingers crossed.
got that info from n-europe.com
apprantly he will just be talking about his life, what a great way to show it with a new zelda trailer =)
I think that zelda wii is going to be the best game ever for nintendo
@ Will
I can't help but laugh. Great picture.
Well the Miyamoto Keynote came and went and it seems like we aren't getting the trailer. TBH, your source was probably telling the truth but when the October conference was cancelled, the trailer was probably shelved until GDC/E3. Really sucks too. 🙁
Whatever, I'm sure we'll get something soon. I hope.
So…were´s the f***ing trailer??!!
"and it will show shed some light onto the mystery of why Link didn't have a sword."
I am sick and tired of people acting like this is some big mystery.
HIS SWORD IS STANDING RIGHT THERE ON THE POSTER!
Look at her head, look at the pendant on her chest! Look at the fact that her stockings look like wrapped fabric like you would find around, I don't know, THE HANDLE OF A SWORD!?
Your world has been turned upside down. Deal with it.
@rowrow
But he isn't "holding" a sword so therefore he doesn't "have" a sword
🙂
Your comment just got turned upside down. Deal with it.
