Aonuma discusses the future of The Legend of Zelda series.
In a recent interview with The Official Nintendo Magazine, Eiji Aonuma explained that he does not see future Zelda titles revisiting traditional button controls.
"I honestly think we cannot go back to button controls now, so I think that these controls will be used in future Zelda titles, too," the producer said, referring to the motion controls of Skyward Sword. The Wii U supports the Wii Remote, making motion controls a perfectly plausible scenario for a Zelda game on the system. Whether the Wii U's tablet controller will be utilized at all in the next Zelda game is currently unknown.
Additional Wii U information will be revealed next year at E3, and may shine more light on the future of The Legend of Zelda.
