Aonuma’s son believes flight is the next for Link in the next Zelda, more MotionPlus talk
November 26th, 2009 Posted in General Nintendo, News, Posted by Valay, Wii“I have an eight-year-old son myself at home, and quite recently he started playing The Phantom Hourglass for DS, because when the software first hit the market he was too young. When he started playing with the boat, I told him: ‘In the next Zelda, you are going to be able to ride on the train.’ He answered: ‘OK, Dad, first boat, and then train? Surely next time, Link is going to fly in the sky … ‘. [Grins] I just don’t know. If many people make many speculations … some of them might be correct. Right now, I have to refrain from commenting on anything.” – Eiji Aonuma
“With this attachment, your minute hand movements are more precisely reflected … You can feel it so naturally and so intuitively. It’s not just an improvement over the movement of Link himself: the realisation of your more minute movements on the screen will expand the entire gameplay. I believe that we will be able to offer some great innovations in the new Legend of Zelda. Of course I have to refrain from giving any details, but we are contemplating altering the way the game progresses in comparison with all the past Legend of Zelda franchises…but I have to stop talking here.” – Eiji Aonuma
Obviously, the big piece of news here is that Eiji Aonuma sort of hints at the possibility of flight being used as a method of transportation in Zelda, through his son’s words. However, I don’t know how much we should read in to it. Aonuma grinned, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll see Epona flying in the sky in Zelda Wii or anything…Although, that could be neat. We’ll just have to wait and see. All I know is that I’m really pumped to see what the game looks like.

Well, that’s one weird piece of information.
Flight in Zelda, huh? I’d never even thought about that.

…Epona pegasus perhaps?
But it dosen’t necesarily mean anything.

If flight is in the next DS game, that could add some significant story to Occa tribe and the sky people and everything. Many games have had elements of different sky tribes, so it would be cool to maybe explore how they’ve progressed after WW, or so many years after OoT

Link in a blimp or hot air balloon would be most likely. Sounds like their style you know.

The chance of a blimp like air ship is very likelii(if they choose to fly at all). Blimps are slow, vulnerable and innefficient; the perfect Zelda game transport. At the rate that the Zelda franchise is currently moving at, we should see Liink cruisiing in a sliik, 1928 Ford Model T.
