New Zelda Video Game Information Leaked

[Wharp]

This is all the information i have gathered about the new zelda videogame; it is worth noting that prior leaks by 2chan have proved accurate, including every Kingdom Hearts game, Metal Gear 4, Resident Evil 4 and 5, and every Square Enix RPG. Zelda Informer also notes that 2chan broke details of The Wind Waker's story in 2003 roughly two months before release. However, at this point these are all unconfirmed details.
Here is some concept art: [http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn32/sportslegends/111AAA/zelda_new.jpg](http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn32/sportslegends/111AAA/zelda_new.jpg)

• The game will diverge from the established dungeon-field-dungeon gameplay style (confirmed by Aonuma)

• You can select whether you're right or left-handed, and Link will have the same handedness as you

• The basic mechanics and gameplay elements are done, and they're currently working on the story, dungeons and developing characters. Among them are an innkeeper in the town where Link lives and her young son, who looks up to him

• Steve(the mastersword girl) is not the master sword, and as of now there are no plans for Link to get the Master Sword in the game. Her name is Aderu (maybe Adelle, but I think might be Adella; Rough translation, can't be sure), and she's not your typical companion like Ezlo or Midna, in that she's rarely there with you. What you see in the piece of concept/promotional art isn't her real face (this isn't elaborated on)

• Link's main weapon is a sword with different unlockable abilities, which Aderu communicates with you through

• Horseback combat is back, with a more intelligent Epona that is better at avoiding obstacles

• The character models for Link, Epona, and the Gorons have all been modified and touched up, but they're the only ones, suggesting no Zelda or Ganon (or entirely new models for them, it is also possible they just weren't mentioned for whatever reason..)

• This Link is the Hero of Time (presumably grown up after MM, but he didn't say)

• There is time travel (again, he didn't delve into it)

• The game does NOT take place in Hyrule

The Hero of Time's return sounds to many like a sequel to 2000's "Majora's Mask", with time travel playing a helping hand in that storyline.

Is a leak this detailed possible? Perhaps. As The Wiire reported last week, we believe Nintendo may announce an official title, release date, screenshots and video footage in March at the upcoming Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Last year, the company used GDC to announce "The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks" for the DS; this year they may do the same for the new Wii Zelda title.

At the very least, these rumors give Zelda fans everywhere something to begin talking about. Get the discussion going in the comments below!

Nice info but that picture has been around for quite a while.  This game sounds pretty cool; I just hope it doesn't disappoint like Twilight Princess did…  Yes, I said it, Twilight Princess was disappointing, just my opinion.

I hope it's not settled in Termina… I hated Majora's Mask. Eager to see it. Maybee I'll dig out my Wii from the backyard.
