Aonuma Hints At An Open World ‘Twist’ For Next The Legend Of Zelda
Details have been sparse of late on the next entry in The Legend of Zelda franchise. It wasn’t that many months ago that fans were looking forward to playing it in 2015, though.
We still don’t know when The Legend of Zelda will arrive, if it will even be in 2016 or, for that matter, on the Wii U at all. However, series director Eiji Aonuma revealed a small nugget of information that might please some fans.
“I can’t go into details but I’m hoping to put a surprise, or kind of a twist, on my view of an open world game,” Aonuma told IGN. “I hope that you’ll look forward to it.”
We will indeed look forward to it, Mr. Aonuma. For our most recent look at The Legend of Zelda, wind back the clock to December of 2014.

Our Take
The mantra I keep hearing is that people want a Skyrim-like adventure in Hyrule. While I’d certainly want more of a Nintendo touch on that approach, I’d be willing to sink 100 or more hours into an open world Zelda game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
