So I've heard...

[JDog]

I heard there was a new zelda game in the making for the Wii, I can't remember where, but I remember reading that someone said something about that, I know I did, at least I think I did, if so, can someone look into this for me and let me know?

[Hi no Seijin]

Yes, there will be a Zelda for the Wii (supposing you don't count TP).  However, it's very unlikely that Nintendo has released any more information other than the fact that there will be a Zelda game for the Wii.

[DW]

There was that future Zelda that was an April Fools.

But yes, they are DEFINATELY having it continue on the Wii. It would be stupid not to.

[alex]

it will be like forever until its released :[[[ i hate waiting...

[DW]

Yeah, the bigger games like this take longer to make than the 2D...so much more artwork because of the 3D environments...oh well...

[JDog]

yea, take SSBB, it was suppose to be released this month I think, but now its being released in febuarary(spelled wrong) but yea, the new one will probably come out fall of next year, maybe the year after it, never know with Zelda.

[Hi no Seijin]

I would correct you, but then JQ would be all like, "ZOMG!  HNS is correcting Jdog!  He must be bashing on him! =O"

Seriously, though, Brawl was initially announced to have been released on December 3, 2007, but that was indeed pushed back to February 10, 2008.

But as for a new (major) Zelda game for Fall 2008, I doubt that.  That might be when they start announcing a new Zelda game, but that's not when they're going to release it.  In case you haven't been paying attention, that's not how Nintendo works.

Minor Zelda titles tend to be released in the spring/summer, while Major titles tend to be released around christmas.

Let's see...

Link's Awakening - 8/1993

Ocarina of time - 10/23/1998

Majora's Mask - 10/26/2000

Oracles were released in NA 5/14/2001

Windwaker - 3/24/2003

FSA - 6/7/2004

Minish Cap - 1/10/2005

Twilight Princess - November/December 2006

Phantom Hourglass - 10/1/2007

As we can see, Five of the games here were released in late fall/winter, while the rest had their time in spring/early summer.

Major and Minor are ternary phrases, but 3 of the 4 3-D games were released during fall, 4 of 5 if we include Phantom Hourglass.

It's a safe bet that the next Zelda won't be released in NA until At least Summer 2009,  probably fall 2009 though.

All of the above dates are for the NA releases.

OOOOOH yea, thats what i was, I wasn't sure though, but I thought I read October 1st somewhere, but ok, anyways...
yea, most likely summer of 09 maybe fall of 08 but I doubt it.

Late 2009/early 2010 I think. At least, the next 3D game, but I'm not expecting a 2D game soon either (please, oh please, don't let PH kill the 2D TLOZs).

[Hi no Seijin]

To Jdog, October 1 was the Phantom Hourglass release date.

[MagmarFire]

(please, oh please, don't let PH kill the 2D TLOZs).

I share your sentiment. I SO don't want my GBA to officially be obsolete. :-[

[Hi no Seijin]

The GBA won't be obsolete as long as you still play GBC games and below.  It also seems that Disney keeps on releasing games for the GBA for some strange reason that certainly isn't related to money mongering. ::)

[JDog]

Back on topic*
I do hope the new Zelda game though is going to be awesome, and if it is awesome, more awesome than Twilight princess and Ocarina of Time put together, that would be one amazing game.

[DW]

Yeah, it would be something like Link to the Past...
