Nintendo already announced that there a new Zelda game in production for the Wii, but what do you think it will be like and will it fit in with the rest of the series?

Most likely a completely new imagining of the franchise. Since we have all grown accustomed to the Zelda formula, Nintendo will have to make some drastic changes, but not too different, in order to keep the fans happy. It will definitely be built around the Wii capabilities, and will more likely than not be the most awesome game ever made.

This is the game to surely outdue and re-invent the Zelda franchise. Like OoT before it. I'd consider it the Mario Galaxy of Zelda. Since Mario Galaxy, from the looks, will redefine the genre set by Mario 64, that outdid the Mario's in the 8 and 16 bit system.

I hope its one that follows on with the way Ocarina of Time and the Twilight Prinescess have been. Although Windwaker was cool, i really don't like the way they made it so mangaesque and cutesy. It was a well cool game and although i like manga, i don't think its the right style for Zelda to be using.

I'm still pulling for a game between TP and WW that better introduces as to how the water covering in WW comes into existence. I even have a little theory/speculation as to why this kinda sorta has to happen.

Considering that WW brought about the Split timeline theory, that becuase OoT Link never returned Hyrule was Flooded, but it still wasnt flooded in TP, which puts that whole theory on its head.

Thats because Link did return to Hyrule and lived the rest of his life there as a legend among people and the flood didn't happen until about 700 years
after TP.

I dont think Link did return. Becuase in TP, it is revealed that Ganondorf did return after the events of OoT, but it wasnt Link who took care of him, it was the Sages. You'd expect that if Link DID return, he would've taken care of Ganondorf once again on his own.

Yeah but Ganondorf didn't return until after Link had died.

But there is no explanation that did return to hyrule. Or else he would've had a large impact on hylian society. And thus would've ended up passing on his skills. But there are thoeries that the Hero's Spirit that teaches TP link his Teachniques is the long dead OoT Link. And if you listen to what he says after the last skill, he says that he accepted his life as a hero, but could never pass on his techniques. Then he refers to TP Link as "his child" meaning he accepts him as his successor. If you look at the Armor the Hero's Spirit wears, they are not Common to anything of Hyrule. So one is to assume that he spent the rest of his life fighting evil elsewhere in the world. But being caught up in the action, he never passed on his skills. If he were to return to Hyrule, the area would've been at peice, and Link would have no time to brush up on his skills and thus having the techniques he passes on in TP.
