Nintendo Dismisses October Zelda Launch

Nintendo is dismissing rumours of an October launch for the newest Legend of Zelda title as nothing more than hearsay. From the GamesIndustry.biz story: "We haven't announced any potential release dates for the new Legend of Zelda title. Everything published to date is entirely speculation and we hope to announce more about the game at E3 in May."

4 years?

The Zelda shown at SpaceWorld years ago was a tech demo that showcased progress on a previous, unrelated Zelda game. Look at the character model; it's very different from that of Zelda 2K5. It is the project that was put on the back burner to make way for Wind Waker.

Work on this new Zelda was started after Wind Waker. Aonuma-sensei has stated that this is a new project.

So this title has been announced once (@ E32K4) and delayed never. That is the deal here, fellow Zelda fan.

Instead we get some POS cell-shaded kiddie game.

Have you even played it? It is anything but a POS. Honestly, I'm kind of disapointed they went with the new look. The cel-shaded look was unique, it added style to the game and it looked damn good.

Plenty of other games to fill the void

Don't worry, I'm sure there are plenty of other epic and exciting Gamecube games to fill the void between RE4 and when this new Zelda gets released. Please respond to this post with the names, like I said, I'm SURE they are out there. I'm just not sure what they are called.
