New Zelda Game In Development

According to the latest issue of GameInformer, Nintendo has been working on the next Zelda game for a year now. The magazine reports,

“Our sources tell us that the next installment in this series has been deep in development for around a year. It’s highly unlikely that Nintendo would release two Zelda games a year apart, but don’t be surprised if this game comes up sooner than you think.”

Zelda: Twilight Princess was received well when it launched with the Wii last month, and has sold over 450,000 copies in one week in the US. While Twilight Princess is a success, it was a port from the GameCube version which came out only a few days ago. Nintendo will most likely use the full power of the Wii to make the next Zelda game look even better, and hopefully add more streamlined Wiimote controls.
