Since Eiji Aonuma told us to expect surprises at E3, we've heard very little about the forthcoming Legend Of Zelda Wii adventure. However, claims have emerged this morning that following are leaked details on the much-anticipated Wii sequel. It's probably a load of shite, but here you go anyway...The rumours - originally posted on usually reliable Japanese message board, 2chan (via Zelda Informer) - appear to confirm what Aonuma said about changing the structure of Zelda.
It claims that the next Zelda will vary from the 'dungeon-field-dungeon' gameplay we've been used to.
Apparently, the gameplay and basic components are complete and Nintendo are currently working on the story and character, one of which is reported to be an innkeeper in Link's home village. He has a son who looks up to Link.
Contrary to many internet rumours, we're also told that the girl featured in the officially-released art is not the Master Sword. Not only that, the Master Sword will not be in the game.
As for her name, the website isn't so sure. It could be Adelle, Adella, or Aderu. She is not said to be with you throughout the game like Ezlo and Midna.
Enough about the girl. What about Link? It's claimed that Link's sword will have several unlockable abilities and the mysterious girl will communicate with you through this sword.
You will be able to select whether you are left or right handed and this will be reflected on screen
The rumours also suggest that Epona will be back - there will be horseback combat and Epona will avoid obstacles automatically.
As for the story, the idea of this version of Link also being The Hero of Time has apparently been highly considered, and may already be implemented.
Finally, we're told that time travel will play a part in the game, though the actual location of the game isn't revealed.
It all sounds fair enough to us but Nintendo games very rarely leak before their official unviel. So it goes without saying that you should take this information with a pinch of salt.
