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.”

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!
