more motion plus please, though I am really fine with Zelda as is.

That's almost as good as the thread that revealed some of GAF's ideal Samus: battered and covered in dirt. I found the thread, but I'm not going to link to it because it's inexplicably filled with pornography.

Let me use this while laying in bed and you have a deal.

Legitimate complaints about overbearing hand-holding hint messages aside, don't worry Aonuma: no matter how much you change it, and equal portion of players will say it's just like every previous Zelda and boring, and an equal portion will say it's nothing like Zelda and has ruined the series forever.
I swear, Link could become a Koala bear in a space suit golfing on the moon, or it could be a 1:1 remake of A Link to the Past, overhead view, in 3D, and the percentage split of opinions wouldn't change either way.

Every time I find a new ingredient after starting the game up again... Dammit. :/
I hope they keep experimenting with different artstyles going into an HD format. I think that's one of the things I've come to appreciate (and expect) from Zelda now. Skyward Sword is quite gorgeous to me.
And they were right

A) Excuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess!
B) I'm so hungry I could eat an Octorock!
C) I need a weapon.

By the time this game comes out I'll most likely be married and have kids. And I doubt I;ll be doing any gaming. No point in anticipating this.
It's not like there aren't games out there with a silent main protagonist and full voice acting and orchestration otherwise, Skyrim, for example. I never felt like it significantly broke the immersion.
I'd play that.

Does anyone know yet if Miyamoto is actually going to be heading the project?
OH GOD, PLEASE!

I am missing the sarcasm because skyward sword is nothing like OOT. No more giant fields with meaningless enemies. Its all goodness. My favorite Zelda since A Link to the Past

Would you rather a producer say "fuck it, we're just going to make the same game again" i.e. crackdown 2....

Indeed. I'm sure Wii U Zelda will have a few new things added in, but won't shake up the formula very much, just like Skyward Sword. That's not a bad thing, but I'll bet it won't be the revolution that a few might be hoping for.

In all seriousness, I'd like to see a joint effort between EA Tokyo and the most recent Zelda team take the best of both and make them work on a Zelda title together. That would introduced challenge, new gameplay additions, while still sticking to the best zelda core that I personally think Skyward Sword does very well.
With Aonuma back on as director.

Oh there's no way we WONT get a new 4 swords on that thing
Yes. It's a good formula.
You wan't Miyamoto to model some 3D characters? Auto-cad some 3D dungeons? The guy is a board of director and then a general manager. Just unrealistic for him to directly produce or direct a game when there are younger people who understand the technology much better than him.

Why are you lumping voice acting with inane things like gore and boobs?
Probably going to hit the 3DS first.
I wouldn't group voice acting with ridiculous demands like gore or nudity. Seriously, if they continue in the direction of Skyward Sword in terms of cinematics, they'll have to eventually incorporate voice work for the major characters.

Aonuma here is a little tip, make it happen.
The best thing about this painting is Link having his sword in his left hand.

Heh, there's an area almost identical to this picture in SS.

I'm with you on this one. Koizumi deserves a shot. I also think SS showed a troubling lack of creativity in places, and a break from fifteen years of Zelda-making would only do good things for Aonuma when he decided to come back to the series.
Voice acting wouldn't change anything. It would be an added feature which will piss and please people (if done well, I will be very, VERY pleased though).
Gore and boobs though, those will change everything, EVERYTHING!!
The point of 4 Swords is kinda lost on WiiU since it can only support 2 upads max. An online 4 Swords would be great, though, and could still use the screen for displaying interiors.
the 4 wii motes will be the players. the pad will be the DM
