If there’s one thing Zelda fans know at this point, it is that a game in the series is in development for the Wii. However, according to speculation from IGN, Retro Studios was working on an entirely new Zelda title at one point. More than a year ago, the company apparently was doing the next Zelda or something big with it. Though, for one reason or another, they stopped development on the title. The rumor was circulating the internet for a bit, but IGN was confident in their sources to the point where it was almost posted on the site. In the latest Nintendo Voice Chat podcast, the IGN Nintendo Team did state that Retro Studios is, again, no longer busy with the rumored game.
