Aonuma will “say more” about Zelda Wii U at E3 2014, talks overworld openness
A few months ago, Eiji Aonuma stated that Nintendo was considering showing Zelda Wii U at this year’s E3. It now sounds like we’ll be waiting for next year’s expo for a look at the new title.
When Mashable asked if Aonuma could say anything about Zelda Wii U, Aonuma replied: “I’ll say more at E3 2014.”
Aonuma’s comment was part of a larger interview about A Link Between Worlds and the series in general. He shared some rather interesting comments when it comes to openness in Zelda’s overworlds:
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was originally one of the most controversial Zelda games, at least from a visual perspective.
