Mr Iwata spoke to Asahi Shimbun stating that the next Zelda game will be released in 2010 and will be shown at E3 2010. As mentioned in November, “So far, the basic flow of the Zelda games is you’re exploring a field, you go to a dungeon, you conquer it and return to the field. We’re looking at altering that traditional flow. That’s all I can share, and I can’t say more until E3 next year.”

Nintendo Kills Zelda Fan Film
Unlike George Lucas, Nintendo feels that fan made films of The Legend of Zelda should not be allowed. They have asked the makers of “Hero of Time” to cease distribution of their film starting Jan 1st. Fortunately for fans and the makers of the film, the film is still available via torrent for all to enjoy! A link to the torrent is available somewhere over here. I haven’t seen it yet, but I will soon!
What do you think of the idea of Zelda playing along with Link? Will it open up a great new chapter in the Zelda series or will it just not be the same?
Official Press release:
LINK AND ZELDA JOIN FORCES IN THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: SPIRIT TRACKS
Newest Entry in Renowned Video Game Series Features Historic Team-Up for Timeless Duo
REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 6, 2009 – It was among the most heinous incidents in video game history: In 1986, Princess Zelda™ was kidnapped from the land of Hyrule, setting off an intrepid rescue adventure for young hero Link™. Unfortunately for Zelda, this offense has been repeated more than a dozen times since, leaving her largely out of sight while Link traversed dark dungeons and confronted monstrous enemies alone in order to save her.
This time, in the new Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ adventure The Legend of Zelda™: Spirit Tracks, that all changes.
For the first time in the 23-year history of The Legend of Zelda series, Princess Zelda is leaving the villainous clutches of the underworld behind and joining the adventure with Link. In The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, the spirit of Zelda accompanies Link on his quest to save Hyrule. Directly impacting game play like never before, Zelda’s spirit can take control of hulking suits of armor known as Phantoms, allowing the player to direct both Link and these new allies as they battle enemies, solve puzzles and uncover secrets. Zelda also rides alongside Link on his customizable train, offering wisdom that will help players find new areas, storylines and items. The team of Link and Zelda presents countless new storyline details for fans to enjoy, including a closer look at Princess Zelda herself, one of the most iconic video game characters of all-time.
“More than two decades into its rich history, The Legend of Zelda has introduced another historic first for players as Link and Zelda unite to save Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Combining these unprecedented new story and game-play elements with the series’ innovative touch-screen interface on Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi, the game is sure to surprise and delight new and longtime fans.”
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks launches in North America on Dec. 7. For more information, visit www.Zelda.com/SpiritTracks.

Zelda Calculator for Nintendo DSi
Sadly, this is the only bit of Zelda news we have so far this year. Are we desperate for news or what?
Iwata: Not many people would go to the store, spend several thousand yen on software for a calculator or road map, and then stick the cartridge in their DS. But suppose we offered a Zelda Calculator, an Animal Crossing Clock, route maps of various major cities, or only the simple mode of Tetris as low-cost downloads? I’m sure the new demand can be made. source
Crab Helmet over at Zelda Universe has written a fantastic article which goes over recent speculations over the new Zelda game’s number and types of items and weapons. Often speculators express a want for a large number of new items in the new Zelda. Crab however makes an excellent point that the more recent Zelda games have been over saturated with too many items which are only used once or twice throughout the game. Crab recalls the first and second Zelda games which only had very few items and weapons. In these games the player was able to use these items extensively throughout the game in order to discover new secrets. I have to agree with Crab in that I do not believe that the next Zelda game needs a gigantic selection of weapons and items. Why don’t you read Crab Helmet’s opinion and let us know here what you think the number of items in the next Zelda should be!

Zelda Clock Rumor Update
The rumor about the Tri-Force clock image from Marvelous Entertainment has turned out to be false. Fumitsu magazine has revealed that the promo graphic actually represents a new PSP game entitled “Hero30″. Looks like we’ll be waiting a bit longer for the next Zelda rumors to appear!
