Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate and Lords of Shadow 2 producer David Cox has interest in working in a Zelda game.

In an interview with n1ntendo.nl, Cox mentioned that he’s “a massive fan of Zelda”. His game would be in the vein of Ocarina of Time, “because that’s the kind of Zelda-game I really, really like.”

Cox said:

I’m a massive fan of Zelda, so would I like to work on a Zelda-game…I’d love to work on a Zelda-game, that’d be amazing. How would I change it? I don’t really know. I mean, I think I would make it more like Ocarina of Time, because that’s the kind of Zelda-game I really, really like. You know, the wonder of exploring that whole world that felt like a cohesive whole…it all felt like it belonged together. So I think that would be something I’d love to do.

That’s quite a difficult question to answer, but if Iwata-san is listening: I’d love to work on Zelda.
