As long as they keep the basics of what I love about Zelda, I'll buy it.

NOOOOOOOO!

NOO!

NO!NO!NO!NO!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope its something like the Super Guide. Spirit Tracks was the hardest game in a long time, and thats not saying a whole lot. When i hear easier to play, i literally shiver. Zelda is my favorite franchise, and im confident all the changes will be for the better. but i still shiver when i hear "easier to play"...........

btw, i cant wait for E3, if only for new screenshots. every Zelda story that breaks has that same piece of concept art. lol

Link's loses a heart on his health bar everytime I hear something. First, I have to swing my arms like an idiot and now, It's easier?. I hope a great many things were not changed.

I don't believe this is a bad thing.  Accessable and Easier to play I think may have to be interchangeable here.  With the recent news about Mario Galaxy 2 being quite difficult.  I have a feeling that it may be the same way with Zelda.  Make the challege harder, but make the playability a bit more simplistic.  I like the idea..but I hope that it comes across this way and not so much a dumbed down Zelda.  But well never know.  It might be like the Metroid-Other M...that only uses the Wiimote...its more simplistic, but i'm sure offers a new challenge in the game.

Ya know?

i think of this zelda wii 2 game as new simple mario bros wii. Simple side scrolling concept but hard gameplay. Hopefully this game wont be too easy in dungeons or in sword play. easy and zelda dont mix.....................  

Please o please dont mess up my favorite series. I will lose all reason to buy another nintendo again if this happens.

The only time I felt a Zelda game was unnecessarily hard was the Water Temple in OoT. Besides that calling Zelda hard would be a lie. My favourite 3D Zelda after Oot, Wind Waker, wasn't really challenging but a great experience none the less. So if you're going to make a Zelda easier than Twilight Princess and Wind Waker I wonder how that will sit with Nintendo's old fans. I get this trying to appeal to that new audience Nintendo has bought it but how much of the new audience even knows what Zelda is?

Looking at the Half Full perspective...

Maybe it just means gameplay wise, and not puzzle or challenge wise *Shivers*

I just hope they don't mess it up, which I'm sure they won't.

Uh...I wouldn't exactly call Zelda an inaccessible game in the first place.

Another thought....remember back to the original zelda?  How many buttons were there?  D Pad, select, start, A and B.  5....Simple yet areas and bosses of the game were difficult...soo not complex...simplified...accessible...but not everyone beat the game.  I think that is the meaning behind Miyamoto's "easier to play" attitude.

yea. hopefully they mean gameplay and control wise like they did with the Mario Galaxy games. i can live with that.

well obviously, this could either be a good thing or a bad thing but I can't wait non the less! and since I cant wait, I am going to travel forward in time to see the big E3 reaveal

no games are easy.

@vincent calling the zelda games easy is a lie. You think the very first zelda is easy, or the second one, those are some of the hardest games i have ever played

Its simple sounds like they are going to target the younger generation in order to get them into gaming.

I'm not a Zelda fan, but I hope this will make the game better. @deltadawgs- Think before you type. Very offending, somebody MOD this. gameinformer isn't a website for your own depraved pleasures.

@linktriforce.....u gotta admit though. the 3D games are nowhere near the difficulty of the old games. i replayed the original, and its still tough. but when i replay the 3D games, while still amazing games, they arent as hard as the 2D games. i dont think it has to do with the dungeons though. puzzles are pretty much on par. and yea, the water temple. first time around, it took me forever. now, i own that temple. lol
