With details of the next Zelda game to hit the Wii being rather scarce, we’re a little bit sceptical about some of the recent rumours of the new game.
Mind you, we shouldn’t be, because the rumours come from popular Japanese message board site, 2chan and it turns out that most of their rumours turn out to be true. They were the first people to uncover the stories for Metal Gear Solid 4, Resident Evil 4 & 5, The Wind Waker and every single Kingdom Hearts game. Not to shabby, if you ask us.
So, you could say that this is trusted information, but what could we (possibly) be expecting in the new Zelda game?
Well, something that was confirmed last year by the games producer, Eiji Aonuma is that the traditional gameplay of dungeon-field-dungeon will be changed, however we don’t know how drastic this change will be, but, according to 2chan, the gameplay mechanics are complete.

At the start of the game you’ll be able to choose which hand Links hold his sword, obviously to accommodate for all of those Lefties in the world. Also, the girl in the official art work isn’t the Master Sword. In fact, rumours suggest that the Master Sword won’t even be in the game. The girls name will possibly be Adelle, Adella, or Aderu; she won’t be your companion throughout the game like Navi or Midna, instead she will simply communicate with you through Link’s sword.
The rumours also say that Epona will return along with horseback combat from Twilight Princess. This time, Epona will be able to avoid obstacles automatically, so you can focus on the fighting.
But what about the story? Well, interestingly, we could be seeing the return of The Hero of Time from Ocarina of Time, which suggest that time travel could be returning. Not only that, but it sounds as if the game will not just take place in Hyrule but in other lands/regions.
Again, we want to stress that these are just rumours, not fact. It’s very rare for Nintendo games to have their information leaked before the game’s released. Although some of these theories do sound interesting, you should take them with a pinch of salt. We honestly can’t imagine a Zelda game with out the trusty Master Sword. Sorry but we just can’t see it happening.
