Zelda is multiplatform

[Marik]

Zelda will use unique functions of the very unique Wii controller, confirming that it's a Wii game. With Wii's possibilities, it can be used to shoot the bow & arrow, throw the boomerang, and other such actions like shoving the controller forward to punch with the shield. This adds another layer of depth into gameplay, while having the option of standard gameplay... With the GameCube version.

The version we have seen for the last few years will still be on store shelves on the same day the Wii version comes out, on the Wii's launch.

On Revo style gameplay:

"You can control the sword and shield with the unique setup of the Revolution controller, allowing the player to experience combat in Zelda like never before. When you play the game on GameCube, the fighting mechanics are based in a third-person perspective. However, on the Revolution, the battles shift into a first person mode, which allows the player to really feel like they are dueling a foe rather than playing a game. You should see some of the boss battles in this mode. Of course, you can use the controller to aim your bow, your hookshot or your boomerang, as well as some other items. The amount of force you use while handling the controller will also determine how far or fast your items go. There are also some puzzles specially developed on the Revolution version that will require the input from the Revolution's controller. These puzzles will be solved a different way on the GameCube."

On the game's delay: "With the original delay, we wanted to push back the game because we were having major trouble with the wolf mechanics. Many of my team members raised concerns with how unnatural the wolf moved....However, I assure you they are quite spectacular now, and you will personally get to see for yourself at E3."

On Ganandorf: "Ganondorf's role is much more active in this game. He's always been a secondary character until the end of most Zelda games. This time, Link and Ganondorf interact several times during the course of the game, and we get to learn more about the origins of Ganondorf. Fans will finally understand why he is so driven to obtain the Triforce and conquer Hyrule."

On the possibility of Zelda going online: "We're still considering an online Zelda, either for DS or Revolution, but I can't speak anymore about it at this time."

On the Zelda timeline: "Twilight Princess' story is not foretold in The Wind Waker, although I promise the ending will tie into it. As for Phantom Hourglass - as you may have guessed, it is a sequel to The Wind Waker."

On a possible Zelda anime: "We are opening our own animation studio, as you may have heard, and one of the tentative projects slated is a Zelda anime. Whether or not this ever becomes a reality is still yet to be seen. Only time will tell.

Nintendo will now do Twilight Princess as a multiplatform release. On the Wii's launch day, Nintendo will release it on BOTH the GameCube AND Wii. Each with exclusive controls.
