Many Nintendo fans wondered why Zelda was absent from their E3 press conference after having such a strong presence last year. As it turns out, there just wasn’t anything new to show. As followers of the industry know, Nintendo has an impeccable record of releasing quality software, Wii Music notwithstanding. When handling an important franchise like The Legend of Zelda, which just celebrated a very special 25th anniversary last year, it’s imperative that you only show people the best you have. Entertainment Weekly caught up with Zelda mastermind Shigeru Miyamoto and asked him how The Legend of Zelda is handling the transition to Wii U.
You can read the full interview by following this link, but the short version is that Nintendo is still adapting their development to the newest generation of gamers, and experimenting with different aspects of Zelda to bring the new game to the widest possible audience, ranging from those who only just started gaming on the Wii to those who haven’t missed a single Legend since the series debuted. In other terms, they’re still trying to find the hook.
The Wii U isn’t due until later this year, and the wait for The Legend of Zelda Wii U will likely be even longer. Until then, there’s at least the footage shown during last year’s Wii U sizzle reel.

The footage above can make the wait for a new Zelda unbearable, but if anyone can make a wait worth it, Nintendo can.
Interesting point of view.
Well, not my first Zelda game. I have Zelda 2: the adventures of link for the nes, but I never Play it only because it’s too hard >:( so, I’m getting a 3ds today and I’m planning on getting ocarina of time as well, is it the right choice? I’m assuming it is.
Louis has gotten past the 6 stage battle with zant, and is now trying to get to zelda. But the problem is that once we get into the castle we can’t find the way to get to her. How do we find zelda in the castle?

I want to play Zelda really bad, but 1) don’t know anything about it, and 2) don’t know the plot or anything. So, could someone just give me a run down of what happened and the newest game?
what time and date will it be in ireland and uk when the nintendo e3 press conference is on in L.A
the reason i’m asking is because i’m going on holiday’s on wed 8th june and i want to see the nintnedo e3 press conference oh and where can i watch it online thanks
Just as the Air Force and possibly other branches do, does the USCG offer E3 for having 60+ (approximately) college credits?
I can’t find the answer on the Coast Guard’s website.
What surprise announcements do you think E3 2012 will have? Which announcements are you hoping for?
I know as a E3 i get paid about 1700-1900.
Because i have a shit load of college units and decided to join the Air Force, how much more would i get paid if i got married, anyone know? I can’t find a chart lol.
I got tickets for E3 at mellon arena and it says it’s limited view. What is obstructing it? is it no big deal or a huge pole?
E3 stopped being a public event back in 2007. I was wondering how much tickets were for E3 2006.
so i leave in less the 2 weeks to fort jackson, and i enlisted over a year ago and have been to my unit every month for drill since i enlisted so i know the pay is one difference between an E1 and a E3. i did 4 years of afjrotc to receive my rank. but is pay the only difference in basic. because my command sgt major had mentioned more rank more responsibility, so what exactly will i be doing different in basic from an E1?
Next year me and some buddies are going to LA. We want to get tickets for e3 but it seems they are no where on the internet? Where can I find tickets, are they even available?
I was watching the E3 09 trailer for motorstorm: artic edge for the PSP, and i really liked the song that was playing in it. It kept on saying something like “bring it on home” throughout it. Anyone know the name of the song?
Did anyone here attend the 2012 E3 convention? If so, how much did it cost on ticket; hotel cost etc.
I’m planning on going to the E3 2013 in June; but they won’t reveal prices for attendance until December. I would just like to know approx. how much I need to save up until then (taken from how much it cost in 2012 and I’ll add some in case the costs increase).
