Even though I always enjoy this time of year, the amount of rumors published on gaming websites skyrockets to astronomical levels as a result of E3. There have already been a number of Zelda Wii-related rumors over the last few months, but I’ve been extremely hesitant to post them since Nintendo tends to keep secrets quiet. Since E3 is on the horizon, though, we might as well have a bit of fun, right? The “details” about Zelda Wii below have been labeled as “confirmed” by Zelda Informer, but I’m not believing anything until Tuesday!

– The game will just be called “The Legend of Zelda”
– Takes place several hundred years before Ocarina of Time, how the Master Sword was created
– Character’s name from the art is Zordiana
– Hookshot returning, has new abilities, has the grappling ability from Wind Waker, doesn’t use MotionPlus
– Somtimes “draw” a symbol on a door with your sword to open it
– Bow controls similar to that of Wii Sports Resort
– Two difficulty levels, though Miyamoto was against it, Normal and Hero modes, tougher enemies and no “Super Guide” in Hero mode
– On-stage demo at E3, playable, is an ice “dungeon”, you won’t notice when you’re in a dungeon as it’ll be a smooth transition, there will be dungeons with no bosses and vise versa

Thanks to Damir H for the tip!

Retro Studios has already worked on a major Nintendo franchise in Metroid and now rumor has it that the company has moved on to Donkey Kong. That’s all IGN – who initially reported the story – seems to know, but we’re just a few days away from finding out if the nebulous speculation is spot on.

Although Retro Studios released a title last year, it was only a remake of the Prime titles bundled into one package. Alongside it, many had logically assumed that they were working on a bigger, original project as well. Last year, Michael Kelbaugh said “I think you’ll be very excited when you find out what we’re working on.” Does the prospect of a Retro Studios-made title excite you?

Update: Added slips from Metroid: Other M, Xenoblade, and another one from The Last Story, courtesy of Inside-Games.

Interestingly, this slip is included in every copy of Xenoblade along with another promo for Metroid: Other M. Hopefully this means the game isn’t too far away from a release!
