   It's all too well know that the first Zelda game for the Wii is pretty much a porting of the GameCube version, which was delayed on purpose by Nintendo so they would save the best for the Wii launch. But, technically speaking, Twilight Princess isn't a 100% Wii game. So, for the sake of argument, wouldn't it make sense for Nintendo to start working on another Zelda game, specifically built for their new console?

   Well, for the sake of argument, Game Informer believes it would make perfect sense. And it actually did so one year ago, when Nintendo already began working on the next Legend of Zelda:
"Our sources", writes the magazine, "tell us that the next instalment in this series has been deep in development for around a year. It's highly unlikely that Nintendo would release two Zelda games a year apart, but don't be surprised if this game comes up sooner than you think."    The question is, just how soon is "sooner than we think"? The magazine leads us to believe that Q4 2007 is still too early, however 2008 is a likely possibility... Oh and speaking of late 2007, that's when the next Zelda game will be released on the Nintendo DS, according to the same issue. Unfortunately, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is being delayed from early 2007, all the way to October 2007.

   I bet this is a lousy news for Warren Spector, as he is a huge Zelda fan it seems. "There are times when Zelda (pick one of 'em - ANY of 'em) is as close to perfection as I need to get. (...) I never feel as heroic, as much a part of something epic and important, as I do when I'm pretending to be Link", says the father of Deus Ex, in an upcoming CVG interview. But if we look at the big picture, Link fans couldn't be happier: a great Zelda game was just released for the Wii, the GameCube version is coming out this week, next year there will be a DS Zelda, and in 2008 yet another one for the Wii. Not too shabby...
