Emily Rogers – who most recently revealed that a new Paper Mario was heading to Wii U prior to the announcement of Color Splash – has come forward with a new set of rumors about Zelda Wii U.

Today’s speculation consists of three parts. Rogers further backs up claims that the new Zelda will be on both Wii U and NX. Additionally, the game may allow players to choose between a male or female character, and most characters are voiced – aside from Link.

Here’s the full roundup of Rogers’ tweets:

Like with all rumors, these bits should be taken with a grain of salt. It shouldn’t be too much longer until we hear about the new Zelda in an official capacity again, as E3 is coming up quick.

Warner Bros. developer Monolith Productions has done very little with Nintendo hardware in the past. But a new job listing is sparking speculation that the studio – which made the acclaimed Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – could have something to offer in the future… maybe on NX?

This line from a Quality Assurance Manager posting is what gamers are talking about in particular:

Knowledge of certification standards for Microsoft (TCR compliance), Sony (TRC compliance), or Nintendo (Lot Check).

Of course, there’s no specific mention of NX there. Having the word “or” is also important, as it could mean a person with experience publishing games on major platforms is simply needed. I suppose only time will tell if something ever comes from this!
