Wii U Zelda game development “going well”

October 6th, 2013 by Marc Comments

Development on the upcoming Wii U Legend of Zelda game, due for release next year, is “going well”, according to series producer Eiji Aonuma.

Speaking to 4Gamer, in a new interview translated by Siliconera, Aonuma also said that ‘A Link Between Worlds’ would use the GamePad in “various ways” in a bid to shake up the series.

The producer was recently quoted as saying that he was “tired” of making Zelda games. However, he said during the interview that he had been misquoted.

“When I say I’m tired, I’m not talking about making Zelda, but rather, the same constituent that has been used to make Zelda up until now,” Aonuma said.

“While on the subject, in regard to how we’ve always done things the traditional way until now: ‘Why does it have to be traditional?’ That’s the question I’ve been asking myself.”

Aonuma will discuss the Legend of Zelda series during a New York Comic Con panel next week in New York City.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
