Zelda for the Wii U on 2015, Multiplayer Possibilities Revealed?
Nintendo is currently developing a Zelda game for the Wii U and is only currently called "The Legend of Zelda for Wii U." The game was first announced to be in development early 2013 alongside a remake for "The Wind Waker." During the Electronic Entertainment Expo earlier this year, Nintendo released a trailer for the new Zelda game and announced a 2015 release date for the game.
Recently, the producer for the Zelda game for the Wii U, Eiji Aonuma has stated that the game will be "more than just a single-player experience." Obviously, he is hinting at the possibility of a multiplayer open-world Zelda game.
"When I was talking back about making Zelda more than just a single-player experience? That's something you will see in the future, maybe next year," he added.
Local multiplayer for the Wii U gamepad has already been confirmed for another Zelda game, "Hyrule Warriors" so the possibility of a multiplayer main Zelda title is not too farfetched.
Aonuma has also promised to shorten the notoriously long tutorials that plagued earlier Zelda titles in an interview during the E3 earlier this year.
"When we created Skyward Sword, I really felt the need to make sure that everyone playing the game understood it," Aonuma said. "But I also understand now, in hindsight, that when you go out and buy a game, you buy the game because you want to play it, and you don't want to have any obstacles in the way."
The game will feature a main character who looks a lot like Link but there are no confirmations yet on whether the game will really feature the hero. The game is also set to be an open-world game compared to earlier Zelda titles where the world was made up of different stitched up maps.
