In a recent interview Eiji Aonuma told Famitsu that Zelda Wii should be playable before the end of this year. However he would not give a positive statement on a 2010 release date. So what could this mean? Will its just be an E3 demo? Or will the game be playable for the rest of [...]

During an Iwata Asks session, both Satoru Iwata and Takashi Tezuka had some very interesting things to say about The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Here are some of the highlights:
“We weren’t particularly planning to make a Zelda game for the Game Boy, but we thought we’d try it out to see how it would [...]

The other day, we reported that Ninty News host, Ian Lee, stated Zelda Wii would be released in 2010. You can view the original posting here. As it turns out, Mr. Lee was recently interviewed and verified that his reporting was accurate. In addition to this, he stated that Nintendo corrects him whenever he makes [...]

They could have been assuming like the rest of us, but if Ninty News has insider information, Zelda Wii could very well be confirmed for a 2010 release. In the video below, at 1:09, the host mentions Zelda Wii as one of the games coming out this year.

As far as I can see, [...]

Throw your hands in the air and party like it’s 1999… okay I feel embarrassed now. If you haven’t heard already, Nintendo has fully committed to showing Zelda Wii, or at least a trailer of it at this years E3. Although they had previously said that they hoped to showcase Link’s latest adventure, that was [...]

Ever wonder why the original Legend of Zelda had a second quest? Neither did I, but apparently some did. As it turns out, the second quest was created to compensate for a mistake made during the development cycle of the original game. If you want to read more, follow the link.
It’s not normal that this [...]

2Chan, once again has provided the internet with some information which may or may not be true. None of the following information has been confirmed but we would like to note that 2chan has a fairly accurate track record of providing game information before it has been confirmed.
Anyways, here is some of the information that [...]

It’s always good to keep ahead of this stuff. GameStop knows that better than anybody. That’s why they’ve begun allowing pre-orders for Zelda Wii. This comes amidst the news that the latest entry to the series will be shipping this year. Although I’d advice our readers to be weary of delays, such as the ones [...]

Eiji Aonuma has been very talkative lately. This time, he sat down for an interview with Edge. The most interesting part of what little interview was shown pertained to the direction of Zelda Wii. Apparently, Twilight Princess was based on a concept that wasn’t followed through with. It appears now that Mr. Aonuma plans to [...]

MotionPlus is in, and it’s really accurate with your body movements.
Zelda Wii follows a new formula unlike previous entries- expect surprises.

December 7th has finally arrived. For all you Zelda gamers I highly suggest getting out to your local EB Games or local electronic retailer to purchase your copy of this epic Zelda DS adventure. I will be picking up my copy later on today and then when get started on some site content for everybody.

A user at Livestream by the name of Shay Dwight is doing a live playthrough of Spirit Tracks. If you want to get a head start on this game before it’s released, I would suggest checking out his video right now.

Are you suffering from Spirit Tracks overload? Do you long for the days when we covered other stories on this site? Well, you’re in luck!

Our friends over at GoNintendo and GameDaily have created a list of 20 songs from The Legend of Zelda series they like best. The list was split evenly between both sites. [...]

Jeremy Parish of 1UP has written a review of Spirit Track. Here are some of the highlights:
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!

“the game’s villain looks like the demon spawn of Lucky the Leprechaun, but the plot — which involves the resurrection of an ancient evil using Princess Zelda’s
body as its vessel — is pretty solid as far as [...]

Nintendo is launching their latest Hyrule adventure in style. Today, we again have a new trailer for Spirit Tracks. Our friends over at GoNintendo have posted posted it on YouTube. You can find the trailer here.
Most of the trailer is reused footage, but there are a few new scenes towards the end.

The video can be found here. But I must warn you, it can be very painful to watch. If you like corny humor though, you should find it to be quite entertaining.
The part worth watching starts at around 4:40 into the video and continues to the end. Overall, there isn’t much new here. I would [...]

To my friends who are afraid of Zelda going Star Wars, I give you this:
“Regarding use of other forms in technology in the future, as long it adds to the overall game experience and is something we feel the player would enjoy, we wouldn’t be afraid to implement it. As a matter of fact, we [...]

Mr. Aonuma has been fairly talkative recently. In an interview with Eurogamer, he said the following concerning his working relationship with Shigeru Miyamoto:
“When we were creating Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, the department we were working in, called Entertainment, Analysis and Development (EAD), was rather a small team. So with something as big as [...]

Eiji Aonuma is at it again. This time he’s talking about difficulty and what gamers want.
“One of our lead planners for the game is a programmer, so he has a different, more scientific or mathematical approach, so to say, to creating puzzles. Development team members, including [senior Nintendo developer] Mr. [Takashi] Tezuka and myself, actually [...]

“The Difference between the two platforms (Wii and DS) is big. The experience with Spirit Tracks, trying to enhance an already ‘near-perfect control’, is what pushed us on learning how to rack our brains. With Wii it is the same, we want to make the most of its controls. We want the player to control [...]

Eiji Aonuma recently revealed some interesting information about Spirit Tracks during one of his gloat fests. It reads:
“Recently I have been spending my lunch with other game directors playing over local connection battle in Spirit Tracks. It is very good to do that in order to facilitate better communications between us. I have been partnering [...]

Check out the trailer in all its glory here.
We have a thread dedicated to this very subject. If you’re not a member yet, you can join here. It’s easy and only takes a few minutes.

In a recent IGN interview, Eiji Aonuma confirmed that Zelda Wii is taking the series in a brand new direction. Here are the two highlights:
“We’re taking advantage of MotionPlus. It’s become very natural – the movement of your arms is precisely reflected in the gameplay. Thanks to the technological advancements, we hope the gameplay can [...]

“You will have to wait until next year when we can elaborate on this and many other things. But what I can tell you is that yes I have read some of the speculation, and some of it is right! That is all I can say at the moment.” – Eiji Aonuma
Why you gotta be [...]

To put this in greater context, Phantom Hourglass received a 95% score from ONM when it was released. Thus, a score of 91% is pretty good for Spirit Tracks, considering a lot of the material is obviously recycled from the previous game.

Reggie: “We believe that to tease fans over an extended period of time really doesn’t do the gamer just service. So, we have always been mindful of: When’s the launch date? When’s the right time to share information? How do we break information? In particular, with this game, given the Zelda dynamic — which you [...]

Below are the questions and answers to some questions posed by ONM and GoNintendo readers. If you’re in a hurry, I’ve highlighted the most important information for your convenience.
Do they explain why Hyrule is no longer flooded?
Well, they explain why the game is set on land, yes.
Compared to Phantom Hourglass, which makes better use of [...]

Mad props to GoNintendo for posting this on YouTube. Some good news I can tell you right off the bat, is that it appears each dungeon will feature a different tune. This is a huge improvement over Phantom Hourglass, which featured the same repetitive dungeon music playing over and over, and over, and over, and… [...]

We can’t be 100% certain, but we’re pretty sure the elderly man from this Spirit Tracks Famitsū scan is in fact Niko from The Wind Waker.

For Niko fans, this is great news. As to what role he’ll play in Spirit Tracks, we can only imagine it will have something to do with obstacle courses. We [...]

For a few weeks now, we have been speculating that the Spirit Tracks release date was going to be sometime in early December. However nothing was confirmed. Today, Nintendo has finally confirmed our idea and we were right. The Phantom Hourglass sequel is set to be released in North American on December 7th.
To go along [...]

I was not going to say anything about this when I first saw it, but since it has shown up on several other sites now I guess I may as well join the rumour. Apparently Nintendo may be showing a new Legend of Zelda trailer at  Nintendo’s Business Media in October. There are also reports [...]

We may have a release date for the upcoming Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks Zelda game. Though nothing is confirmed, Amazon.co.uk has the game coming out for sale on December 9, 2009. Once again this is not a confirmed date, but Amazon has a good history of being right on the spot when it comes [...]
