Eiji Aonuma: Expect Surprises for Zelda Wii at E3 2010
Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has told ONM to expect surprises at next year’s E3 as Nintendo prepares to reveal an overhaul of the critically-acclaimed series.
When asked how different the new Zelda title will be when it arrives on Wii next year, Aonuma replied: “It is something we used to talk about with Mr Miyamoto, and he and I agree that if we are following the same structure again and again, we might not be able to give long time Zelda fans a fresh surprise.”
“So we have been trying something new in terms of the structure of the Wii version of the new Zelda game this time. I am really hopeful that people will be surprised with the changes we have implemented for this Wii version.”
Aonuma also confirmed that alongside full MotionPlus support, we’ll be able to see more of what his team have been working on at next year’s E3. “I hope that we can show you something at the E3 show next year and it is something we are hopeful will be surprising,” he added.
Alright guys and gals, start the speculation! What do you think would surprise us most for Zelda Wii? Is it just the Motion Control implementation? Or a big twist in the standard Zelda plots of the past? With Spirit Tracks, having Zelda as an ally throughout the game was a pretty big surprise, so I wonder what could be in store for Zelda Wii. I’m already excited though!

That would be a pretty big twist! I always thought it was cool in Ocarina of Time when you had to fight your reflection. So maybe they will have an ‘evil Link’ or something like that. Whatever they do, I hope it involves big changes to Hyrule. I would love to see some new landscapes introduced to the world. Maybe a new darkness falls on Hyrule and even Ganondorf is threatened?
Whatever they do, it’s going to be great! I need to go back and play some Twilight Princess :)
