Our absolute favorite thing about the Zelda series is how much it saves us on strategy guides. See, you can pretty much follow the walkthrough for Link to the Past to beat every installment in the franchise released thereafter. (Get the sword! Get the shield! Beat the Forest Temple! Get the power bracelet! Beat the Fire Temple!) However, in a recent interview with Official Nintendo Magazine, series producer Eiji Aonuma revealed that we can expect some big changes from the franchise's next iteration -- changes which he hopes will be revealed during next year's E3 showcase.
Aonuma explained that, in order to try and keep the series fresh, he and Shigeru Miyamoto "have been trying something new in terms of the structure of the Wii version of the new Zelda game this time." You know what that means. They're going to put the Fire Temple before the Forest Temple. We're kidding, of course -- that's just crazy talk.

Sony is not a gaming development oriented company and neither is microsoft, but they are producing far more often with compelling results!

I love me some Nintendo.....
....But recently I have just felt it is best to not get my hopes up that way they can not shatter them and then if they do follow through I will be totally surprised and happy and still have a special place in my heart for them.
Sidenote: I would bet this anouncement will be in between Reggie talking up the hardcore concepts of the next Nintendogs (dog-fight edition) and Cammie yapping about her kids newest shenanigans.

Well, at least giving us a 10-month heads up will give the whiners a chance to properly construct their complaints for either situation.
If it's a brand new structure, they can have something ready to complain it's too different.
If it's not a new structure, they can have something ready to complain it's more of the same.
Win/Win. See. Nintendo really does care!

Once upon a time I cared about a Wii Zelda. But the 4th year into it's product cycle and still nothing more than a ported Gamecube game is pathetic.
Thankfully there's games like Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls, Dragon Age, and Modern Warfare 2, and countless others to make me forget Wii ever existed.
