To say the least, The Great Fairy in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time looks anything but subdued. She comes shooting out of the fountain, with a loud laugh, and with some… interesting attire.

The Great Fairy’s look was certainly intentional. According to Yoshiki Haruhana, a character designer on the original game, revealed in the latest Iwata Asks that he was trying to draw a unique fairy so that she wouldn’t be boring.

Aonuma: The Great Fairy is one character you never forget.

Iwata: The Great Fairy is extremely flamboyant!

Aonuma: The first time I saw her, rather than smile, I drew back! (laughs)

Everyone: (laughs)

Personally, I’m more interested in Wii Play: Motion, Nintendo’s other June release, over Mystery Case Files. It’s kind of strange to see Mystery Case Files returning, but I guess some of the more casual gamers might pick the title up.

Just as a note, I hope this isn’t the last we’ve heard of Wii U in 2010. Hopefully Iwata says something at Nintendo’s Fall conference, if there is one.

Matt Ryan from Nintendo Canada on why it seemed Nintendo focused more on hardware than games…

“While Wii U hardware was a BIG focus this year for Nintendo we also have many software titles that were emphasized at the press conference and at the show. First of all, we are celebrating The Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary and that is bringing many Zelda titles to our systems. The newest offering being The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for Wii. Also, for Nintendo 3DS we have Super Mario, Mario Kart and Kid Icarus: Uprising coming this holiday. So we had a nice balance of hardware and software but we are quite aware that the Wii U announcement really excited fans the most in our booth.”

Ryan on if there is any worry that Nintendo will displace their current consumer base with a new console…

“Not at all. We anticipate that Wii U will make all types of gamers happy! Wii expanded the video game market and brought many new people into gaming, we expect Wii U to not only to continue this trend but to take it even further with what the new console has to offer.”

Reggie didn’t show anything on the Wii U other than the controller (and the console!), but I think Jimmy was happy just holding it in his hands. And those lucky audience members all received a copy of Ocarina of Time 3D.

This is for the three of you out there who still aren’t convinced that it’s not worth picking up Ocarina of Time 3D. Man, Link’s model… it looks so nice!
