New Zelda 2 coming to Wii in 2008? Zelda Phantom Hourglass on DS delayed to October 15th 2007

11 December 2006

Game Informer magazine issue 165 states the next Zelda Wii has already been under development for about a year and while itâ€™s highly unlikely that Nintendo would release two Zelda games a year apart, they expect the second Zelda Wii will arrive sooner rather than later. End 2008?

As for the much anticipated cel-shaded The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for the Nintendo DS (which continues from the GameCube’s Zelda: Wind Waker). At GDC 2006, it was revealed and Iwata hinted it would be out by the end of this year. However, at E3 2006 it became apparent this wouldn’t be the case, and The Hylia confirmed a delay to 2007 after speaking with Nintendo at San Diego Comic Con in July.

Game Informer is reporting that Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has not just been pushed back to “early 2007″ as previously reported, but all the way to October 15th, 2007. If so, that means the first DS Zelda adventure will be out next Holiday season. We’ve also heard rumors the game is getting a major reworking since E3 2006 – as nothing new has been shown for the title since that time.

ganon is the man

a new zelda on wii would be awsome. If it had multiple lands besides hyrule than that would be more awsome
But everyone has said how they like the old main bad guys, but the only reason you know about them is because they created something new, if you ask me they should find some good features the old bosses have and create a new baddy, posibly the best one yet

Yeah hopefully the new wii zelda in development wont take that long to be developed, or laid back as previous games were often not released but a year later. But it would be cool and new things should be involved in it so hoipefully the bosses wont b as easy as in tp n i bit more exploration n for sakes change the dungeons around, yeah add new stuff like forts and castle to explore which would offer a new challenge to zelda veterans. add new and old characters would b also awsome. n one thing nintendo should do is allow link to pick up weapons such as a mace or axe from fallen enemies n fight with them bere they get damaged n link can toss em away. but hopefully nintendo will add all tat

to add to my last comment can the developers just keep ganon out of the story, yeah continue tp yeah but give the hard core fans an explanation to wat actualy hapened after oot was there 2 hyryles creted as a result of link being sent back to his chilhood, midna would b fine to b brought back but the should reintroduce the fairy companion, new combat should also b the new thing tat nintendo will bring out with the wii motion sensin swing vertically givin link the power to use heavy and powerful attacks while horizontally allowing link to attack fast and quick n stabing motion which is already in tp but combinin hem t o create awsome combos in combat

YEAH FOR THE PREVIOUS COMMENT I TOTALLY AGREE. THERE SHOULD BE MORE LANDS TO EXPLORE IN ZELDA NOT JUST HYRYLE. NEW INOVATIVE COMBAT SYSTEM SHOULD B INTROTUCED WHICH SHOULD NOT B 2 COMPLEX.
NEW ITEMS N NEW WEAPON WHICH CAN B THROWN AWAY AT ENEMIES OR U JUST WEAR THE DAMN THING OUT. NINTENDO ALWAYS COMES OUT WITH NEW SHIT FOR ALL ZELDA GAMES SO WE SHOULD BALL FOR ONE FUKIN GOOD SUPRISE TAT NINTENDO WILL SUPRIZE US WIF HOPEFULLY. ZELDA FUKIN ROCKS

Would be nice with bigger and more unknown lands but it cant be that hard to like continue the storyline of windwaker or something, “zelda” and link sets off on a ship to find a new world. that should be a perfect way to create an nice walkover of leaving hyrule since they flodded all that was left. Let them find a new land then let it go a few ages and then voila! continue on the windwakers storyline would make anything possible, since the king in windwaker took the triforce i guess the gods will give tehm back to the ordinary people so if they really want to i guess a new bad guy could steal one of the 3 triangles if people think ganon is getting boring.

Just letting some thoughts off my mind, but i think it would be a nice way to start a new storyline for zelda.

to the previous comment i like ur idea but for the next wii zelda i realy fink tat twilight princess should be continued. Yeah the idea of the triforce shard being stolen and taken to a distant land is awsome but i also dink tat it should b tp link not wind waker link. N yeah i knew bad guy everyone want a new one, some mysterious magician or socere perhaps who steals them n tries to reserect an ancient evil with it so link must find out the reasons n how to prevent it so yeah
S.A.C

n one other comment the sheikah tribe should b brought back into the game revealing themselves as the guardians of the triforce. N a new blad must b forged as the master sword has been shatered n must b reforged into a much more powerul blade to combat the unkown n ancient evil perhaps but tis is only an idea.

The new Zelda game should be set in hyrule and a different land. It should be in the time when everything began, like when the gods where just starting to make the worlds. Like for example just a idea here. Link is introuduced (which would be the first carnation of link) , zelda and ganondorf are also introduced. Link has to set out to stop ganon because he wants to steal the triforce and use it to stop the gods creating hyrule. Chaos spreads and Link cannont continue his journey so he must get help from a different region. ( Termina for example) This would be awesome because there would be 2 regions meaning twice as many temples , items and the like. He would go to these temples to get magic powers ( thus introducing the magic bar and possibly other bars=) )Link of course does not talk because the point of him not talking is so that we imagine what he would sound like. Capcom making this game might be a good idea , they might make it more RPG like. Not like paper mario though. new musical instrument? hmmmm. perhaps a flute? reed? not sure. Also since this is the beginning there would be more magic ( gods and the like) but as the time goes by ( oot time) magic starts to fade away. I unno just a idea.
