From Games Are Fun:
This year??? Holy shit! And considering how short the development time for WW was (incuding making an impressive new engine), we could have another Zelda game by late 2004/early 2005! That is of course if he plans on using the same engine. Hmm... perhaps they could use the WW engine for the next Mario game and make a more realistic Zelda game to please all of those cry-baby fans. It would be perfect for Mario.
What I'd like to see is a new Mario platformer using the WW engine and a Majora's Mask-type side-story Zelda game using the WW engine but changing a lot of the gameplay, ala MM.
Miyamoto has commented in the past on how the next Mario and Zelda games will be very different from past games in the series, and I assume he was referring to changing the gameplay.
Speculate!
Quote:Miyamoto wants new Zelda...
Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's design guru who has been responsible for series like Mario and Zelda, stated in the newest issue of Famitsu that he hopes to produce a new game in the Zelda series this year, as well as original episodes in the Mario and Pikmin franchises. The latter two games were already discussed, though the hints of a new Zelda game aren't. This all seems to contradict Nintendo's previous message that 2003 would be a year of new ideas and characters, but is anyone going to argue against a new adventure starring Link?
