Eiji Aonuma recently spoke to The Guardian, a British news publication, about the upcoming Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Wii and ‘revealed’ something rather interesting…
I have an eight-year-old son myself at home, and quite recently he started playing Phantom Hourglass for DS, because when the software first hit the market he was too young. When he started playing with the boat, I told him: ‘In the next Zelda, you are going to be able to ride on the train.’ He answered: ‘OK, Dad, first boat, and then train? Surely next time, Link is going to fly in the sky … ‘”
At this point Aonuma paused, grining saying: “I just don’t know. If many people make many speculations … some of them might be correct. Right now, I have to refrain from commenting on anything.
This seems like an interesting concept. It seems like he has just hinted towards this being the person-who’s-speculation-was-right’s speculation. (He must be well chuffed.) If anything, this is a definite reinvention of the series, one that may or may not be welcomed with open arms.
