At the Shigeru Miyamoto roundtable tonight, it was revealed that an all-new entry in the Zelda series is in development. One piece of concept art was shown displaying Link and what was possibly a Zora.
The brains at EAD are still working on many new ideas for the new Zelda, but they hope to include Wii MotionPlus support. In fact, depending on how well Wii Sports Resort sells they may make MotionPlus mandatory. Miyamoto also asked the attendees to think about the new Zelda when playing archery and kendo in Wii Sports Resort.
Unfortunately, the game will not arrive until next year at the earliest.

bah ! I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe October show or something
Just because a massive epic trailer was NOT shown for Zelda it doesn't mean the game is vaporware. If its creator says that development is underway and ideas were explained and show then it exists.

I still think someone sneaked a shot of it in there. It's gotta leak some time. I think by weeks end it will be out in the wild.

Miyamoto and company are working hard on the new Legend of Zelda, and it might be Wii MotionPlus compatible.
Word for word from E3 08. They couldn't part with just a little more information?

If so, what is meant by "older and more mature?" When I hear "older and more mature" I think, I don't know, 40s - 60s. What are we comparing "older and more mature" to? The last Zelda game, where he was 17? That could mean Link in his late 20s, early 30s. But if we're simply applying "older and more mature" to the range of ages Link has ever been (10 to 17) then that means Link is going to be 17 again. Which makes this not news, at all.

I think it may just refer to how the art style presents him. Typical Japanese Anime style always confuses me anyway. A thirty year old looks fifteen.
I think Matt at IGN said he looked early twenties.

He grew a mustache I'll bet.
Aw, sketchy 30s-something Link would be sweet.

Why does Link have to be a man? Adult Link could just as easily refer to a Female Link!Or a special power where Link can change sexes.

I think we already have a character that's Mario in green...But not a tonic. Plus he doesn't wield a sword and shield.
Zelda needs to be playable outside of Smash Brothers. They could call the game Zelda's Revenge.

Alright, blurry awesomeness! That does look pretty similar to TP, though maybe it'll be brighter (which I judge solely from that fire-y stuff in the background). And uh-oh, looks like Link's a righty again...
lol, having seen the art I'm sorry to report that what you see in the background isn't fire. It was actually much less bright, but for whatever reason came out as such due to the extremely low res photo.

I hope the inclusion of Wii MotionPlus means that they'll include a home-run contest, golf, and tennis in the game. It wouldn't be a Wii MotionPlus game without them.
Well, it wouldn't truly be a modern Zelda game without a collection of sometimes silly and arbitrary mini-games that we have to go through to get heart pieces.

Only the director of Nintendo World Report would interrupt his honeymoon to troll the forums.
LOL It was a rainy day at the beach.
All I'm saying is that I hope they do something with Wii MotionPlus that extends beyond the obvious stick-swinging mechanic. I'm hopeful as a result of the variety in Wii Sports Resort, but I hope they can translate that to the Zelda universe in a cool way.
EDIT: And archery and fishing don't count. ;)

There are many, many ways to throw a frisbee.
If we are suppose to take our hints from Resort, I would guess this next Zelda will be alot slower than what we're use to.

But there's only a few ways to properly throw a boomerang...
but we're getting off topic. Until this Zelda title is close to being released, I won't be taking a ride on the hype train. Even though I enjoyed TP, that wait and all the speculation was awful. Never again.

I still don't see how a rainy day is an excuse to come here on your honeymoon. Does she know about these little visits? Besides, there are plenty of activities to play on your honeymoon when it is raining, like card games. Play a card game with her ;)
As for sans-sword M+ possibilities in Zelda, here are a few:
Horseback riding
controlling your shield precisely in defense mode to reflect light and projectiles
using it to control your balance on a narrow ledge
a dart game in the bar
hurling that ball & chain weapon from Twilight Princess
and especially polo. You have a horse, I want to see you ride the horse and hit balls with your sword or a club.

Yes, but a square is always a rectangle, not the other way around.
In Resort and Woods, I'm going to try all sorts of different styles.
So I wonder....if they don't want to announce Zelda till 10 but could have announced it this year, could it be ready to go in 10? Could we possibly see Galaxy and Zelda in one year?

As I told you yesterday, there were absolutely no pictures allowed during the event. We are respecting Nintendo/Mr. Miyamoto's request, and will follow along with the guidelines.
Thank you to all that sent word our way. I was happy to see that most of you were upset to see the image leaked, and the rules broken. You're a good bunch of people, you are!

There's no sword in his hands.
Now I know that this has already been noticed.
However, look again at the girl next to him, upside down.
Her head/cape kind of looks like the bottom of the master sword while her skin is an odd gray-like color. Kind of like the blade. Also notice the jewel on her chest around the same area the master sword has one on the holder.
Is it possible the master sword plays a more significant role (as the King [boat] in Wind Waker), also noting that in the last few games the master sword has been referred to as a more "living" object in the series. Maybe it's just me but eh, what do you think?

Maybe it's just me. But I've noticed that everyone thinks that the female character in the picture could be a form of a "Zora" or even Zelda herself.
