Linkle Could Appear in Future Zelda Games

According to Aonuma, its a possibility for Linkle to appear in future Zelda titles outside of Hyrule Warriors. When asked what implications Linkle could have in the series, he replied:

“I'm sure we will keep her in mind when thinking about future titles... It may feel a little different from other titles in the franchise, but she doesn’t feel out of place at all in the world of the Zelda games."

What do you think of this possibility? Would you like to see Linkle in a future Zelda game or even star in her own title?

Next Zelda to Bring a Unique Experience Beyond Expectations

As we all know, Nintendo has been working on the upcoming Legend of Zelda Wii U title for quite some time now. News has been scarce on the subject. We do have this new detail on it however. The series' producer Eiji Aonuma has stated that Nintendo aims not just to satisfy fans with the new Zelda, but to create something unique that goes beyond what people expect.

These words are found on the signed certificate of authenticity included in the new Prima Guides Zelda box set:

“It has been 25 years since The Legend of Zelda was introduced to the world, and it is still going strong. This was made possible by the fans who love the series. In the next installment, it is my desire to create a unique experience that is beyond your expectations. We are privileged to have your unwavering support.” 

Although we don't know much about the upcoming title, it's nice to receive this bit of news. It's rumored that we won't be seeing it until 2015. Until then we at least have Super Mario 3D Land which was recently released, and many other great upcoming titles for Wii U.

Game Informer Gives A Link Between Worlds a Perfect Score of 10

Game Informer has just reviewed the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and has given it a score of 10/10. Being the follow-up title to A Link to the Past, high expectations are very common for A Link Between Worlds. Game Informer listed the following about the game:

• Game Informer was impressed with the rental system and how it makes death a scary prospect.

• Heart piece puzzles are clever.

• Loved how drawing mechanic causes you to look at the game from a whole different perspective.

• The game has some of the best dungeons and boss battles Link has ever experienced.

• Some bosses are old, most are new.

• The dungeons can be done in any order and there is no hand holding.

• All items are available from the outset, leaving you free to explore at your convenience.

• While the world map layout is highly similar to A Link to the Past, there are still a lot of tweaks and it’s not a simple copy and paste job.

“I want to let the experience roll around in my brain for a while before I decide where it ranks among the best entries in the franchise, but I can say with confidence that it should be spoken in the same breath as A Link to the Past. In every way, A Link Between Worlds is exactly what you want out of a Zelda game.”
