The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Template:Future game Template:Game Zelda Wii is a game currently in development. It will be exclusively for the Nintendo Wii. It is an entirely different game than Twilight Princess. Unlike Twilight Princess, Zelda Wii will be made specifically with the Wii in mind .

It has been stated by Shigeru Miyamoto that Twilight Princess will be "without a doubt, the last Zelda game as you know it in its present form." It is not exactly clear on what he means on this point.

When Eiji Aonuma was asked in an interview if Twilight Princess would be the Nintendo Wii's only Zelda Game he replied, "I can't say, but I guess for now, maybe, yeah [laughs]. Not to say that it's going to be the final game. There's still a lot of potential with the Wii so there's still a possibility that there could be another Zelda for it. We do have some ideas in the works, but I can't say for sure because none of them have been approved and we're still very much in the planning process, so I hope you look forward to whatever comes out."

In a private meeting at the 2007 Electronic Entertainment Expo Eiji Aonuma began to give details about the Zelda Game, Phantom Hourglass. He then began speaking about the upcoming game, Zelda Wii. In his excitement he began to reveal more details about the game, but was withheld from revealing too much information by Shigeru Miyamoto. He indicated that he would like to have a whole new control system for the game, and that it was possible that one-to-one swordplay (first person perspective sword combat) could be implemented. He also said that he would like to make the game to appeal both to the casual and the hardcore gamer.

Zelda Wii is not the only new Zelda game that is currently in development, as Spirit Tracks is also..

At a round-table at the E3 2009 Convention, Shigeru Miyamoto announced that Zelda Wii will be announced at E3 in 2010. Artwork shown at the round-table has been leaked, depicting a swordless, but right-handed Link and another mysterious female figure, bearing resemblance to The Fairy Queen and The Master Sword.

According to an interview with Miyamoto, Zelda Wii's version of Link will be older than those of past Links and the game will follow a story progression different from Twilight Princess. In the interview Miyamoto put an emphasis on Link's lack of sword in the artwork and finding a way to please both new and veteran gamers.
