Nintendo director Eiji Aonuma spoke with IGN yesterday about the next Zelda. Details on the next Wii installment in the franchise have been few, although Aonuma shed a little light on Nintendo's plans for the game. Similar to how The Ocarina of Time acted as a launch pad for Majora's Mask, the Twilight Princess will be a "starting point" for the new Zelda.
"With Twilight Princess, we challenged ourself to create the most vast and realistic world the series had ever seen," he said. "But we don't feel that we were able to fully complete this objective. With that as a starting point for our improvements to the series in the future, we are of course working on a new game for Wii."
"For any game to be remembered for a long time, just like Ocarina of Time was, the game must give the strong impression that it has set a new starting point for future sequels to build upon," continued Aonuma. "We are working to further improve upon the experiences found in Twilight Princess so that our future games can realize these innovations."
