Liberation recently held an interview with Eiji Aonuma, who has been working on the Zelda series amd had a lot to say about where Link would be heading on the GameCube and the DS. Eiji Aonuma’s exact words can be found at Jeux-France, but for those who have trouble reading French the main points are:
There will definitely be Zelda game on the DS
The concept of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords was an experiment for possible DS games, and to see what double screens could produce.
However it would be “shameful” not to have a true Zelda along with a Four Swords-eqsue version, so is that possibly two DS Zelda games already?
The Legend of Zelda for the GameCube is finished, but Nintendo are remaining tightlipped about everything; title, theme, everything. (So no Gates of the Realm. None)
Link’s next adventure on the GameCube will be out in Japan at the end of the year, and “will be very, very beautiful.
