The next Zelda game

Get's a good mention in this interview.

Seemingly official artwork that popped up at zeldauniverse recently, with the same artstyle as in the artwork of Twilight Princess.

Oh my!

Looks like a female Zant.

Maybe, but to me it looks more like a Sage or a spirit of some sort and her overall design looks like the great fairies and fairy queen from Wind Waker.

But I'm more curious about how the game will play without a sword.

Alot of fans are actually speculating that the little girl is supposedly some sort of personification/manifestation of the Master Sword based on her physical features. I'm personally holdng my judgement until they actually unveil a little more, as long as that may take.

But, swords are what make Zelda....umm, Zelda.

Zelda needs a re-boot, IMO.

TP was awesome, but a re-imagined OOT can only go so far, if you ask me.

About as true as you can get, that statement. Judging from his comments over the last few years, Miyamoto is very much aware of Zelda's need for change, though.

The spirit looks like the Queen of all fairies from Wind Waker. Based on where his shield is...God, I hope they don't make Link right-handed. What I'm really looking for in a major console sequel tho is something to fill in some of the untold stories that people agree on regardless of what order you think the games go in. Specifically, the war before Ocarina of Time, The war with the first Link alluded to in Minish Cap, Ocarina, Tingle's Rupeeland, and Twilight Princess, and the incident leading to the flood.

The flood wouldn't be much fun as a Zelda game as it is specifically a period where Link is not there.

hmm... boats... trains... and now no sword... what is happening to my franchise?

To be honest, I loved Wind Waker. The sailing aspect was a clever twist on the whole adventure, and I liked using the boat claw to look for treasure and the Triforce.

Still, I had an epiphany:

What about Zelda meets the technological age? Sorta like Zelda meets FFVII. Imagine Link being able to use gadgets and planes and stuff?

Well, guys, I'm convinced that the Master Sword is still in the picture.

Yep.

Though I guess this means Midna won't be returning... aww.

Oh hell yeah, new Zelda. And with the traditional, nice art style!

(yeah, I still can't get over how much I despise the cel-style of the Wind Waker games)

Ugh. No >.<

Based on the picture, if this is a prequel, then there is a high possibility that Midna is returning. Just not in the roll that you want her to be in...

I doubt it's a prequel to TP, just look at Link, he looks taller than he did before.

The girl has some obvious similarities to the Master Sword, I mean, look at her shape, the jewel and the metalic looking part on the bottom of her dress.

No, this is a sequel to TP.

Different Link. And if it is the game I hope it is, that spirit will become the Master Sword as we know it by the end of the game and Midna and her tribe will be the villains.
