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.

This week’s GameStop deals are as follows:
Yesterday, Activision confirmed a release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops II’s Revolution DLC on the PlayStation 3 and PC. That leaves Wii U as the only console with uncertainty surrounding downloadable content.
Even some of the closer folks at Activision are unsure as to what the Black Ops II DLC situation is like on Wii U – including social media manager Dan Amrich.
When asked about the Revolution DLC for Wii U, Amrich tweeted:
I have not heard any info, one way or the other, concerning Wii U DLC. I’ve asked, no answer yet. RT @jman4371: But what about Wii U?!
