New Zelda games teased in Aonuma Letterbox message

He hopes you're looking forward to new Zelda games

Eiji Aonuma has teased fans by sending out a Nintendo Letter Box message with the message: "I hope you're looking forward to new Zelda games."

We know that the Legend Of Zelda producer is working on Zelda Wii U but could he be working on a Zelda 3DS game at the same time?

Writing in the pages of Hyrule Historia last year, Aonuma suggested that his team were already hard at work on a new Zelda game when he wrote "we've already set sail in a new voyage."

So what is he working on? What do you want to play first? A new Zelda Wii U game or an original Zelda 3DS game? Or a Majora's Mask 3DS remake to follow on from Ocarina Of Time 3D?

    I really do wish we got those. It's annoying that the US keeps getting awesome stuff we don't... I want that stationary! D=

    How about all the above?

    "Set sail"? Great, another Wind Waker-esque game is next in line, then... -.-;;

    the article misspelled 'suggested', it put 'wuggested'. sorry but i just had to point that out! anyway, any zelda announcement is a good announcement! hopefully its news on wiiu zelda and a 3DS zelda too!

    The Majora's Mask remake'll more than likely be handled by Grezzo. I can't see Nintendo using all their own resources on a remake. The fact Aonuma mentioned "New Legend of Zelda games" makes me think it's an entirely original entry. Heck, it's right there in the image!

    Lovely stationary. Beautiful stationary.

    I absolutely LOVED Wind Waker. I'm hoping for a brand new game for the 3DS and a superb Wii U launch game too. I'll have to save some more money for the Wii U but so be it :mrgreen:

    A Phantom Hourglass/Wind Waker sequel? Sweet.

    Now let's just hope we don't have to do the same dungeon over and over....

    Aw. I want cool LetterBox messages!
    But at least there's a new Zelda coming!

    Edit: I just got the message seconds ago. :)

    "I really do wish we got those. It's annoying that the US keeps getting awesome stuff we don't... I want that stationary! D="
    We've gotten a fair bit of stationary free. Also, during the UK Nintendo Direct it said we'd be getting a Zelda letter via Letterbox soon so I presume it's this, with the stationary.

    @rayboi People keep writing stationary when they mean stationery, sorry but I just had to point that out! :wink:

    I'm guessing it'll be a 3DS game, since Nintendo likes to use the handheld titles, which are quicker and cheaper to make, to plug the gaps between console outings. (Also, they probably have a better grasp of 3DS hardware, whereas the WiiU hasn't been finalized yet from what I hear.)

    Majora's Mask is fine as it is-it doesn't need a remake; the graphics and controls are still great now...Just leave it alone.

  13. shadowlugia101 Wednesday 22nd Feb 2012 at 16:00

    set sail eh? judging from that we could be looking at wind waker 2 or phantom hourglass 2

  14. concernedcamel Wednesday 22nd Feb 2012 at 16:15

    If there making a majoras mask remake they should also add some more back story to whatever the fudge that game was about and maybe share light on if link ever found navi at the end, only then will they get my 40 pounds :)

    My dream game would be a conclusion to the Hero Of Time story. He was my favourite Link and we never really found out his fate. It sounds like he's hinting at a Wind Waker type game but this is Nintendo we're talking about - take waht they say with a pinch of salt

  16. Magmortar963 Wednesday 22nd Feb 2012 at 16:36

    I've recently been playing Spirit Tracks, so a sequel to that will do, please!

  17. spacemen13 Wednesday 22nd Feb 2012 at 19:12

    Well they said there going to stick to motion controls so it will most likely be on Wii which is awesome!

  18. lightning900 Wednesday 22nd Feb 2012 at 20:21

    My guess is it's going to be:
    >2D - the 2D art work in the message and Miyamoto: "That's something that might be interesting to do"
    >Set at sea - Aunoma: "we've already set sail in a new voyage."
    >On 3DS - Miyamoto: "taking those 2D graphics and recreating them in 3D"
    >Not Majora's Mask - Miyamoto: "it didn't seem right to launch a remake one after another"
    >Not a Spirit Tracks sequel - Aunoma: 'don't think that it is a direct sequel to the Zelda titles released on DS"

  20. ARWING64 Wednesday 22nd Feb 2012 at 21:25

    Brand new game please; then Majora's Mask. No more remakes for a bit please!

  21. fisher2007 Wednesday 22nd Feb 2012 at 22:27

    I got that cool LetterBox zelda message today. 8)

  22. MML3Savior Wednesday 22nd Feb 2012 at 22:53

    Didn't get the note. :(

  23. MikeIt0rNot69 Wednesday 22nd Feb 2012 at 23:05

    Well Majora's Mask would be great in 3D but I think they should make a special Zelda game meant just for the 3DS. They should make the game with spectacular 3D visuals.

  24. Tazer_Silverscar Thursday 23rd Feb 2012 at 12:01

    Took it long enough. I got mine last night.

  25. zaine02 Thursday 23rd Feb 2012 at 20:24

    send me message and add me to ds i have the paper and a few more :D

  26. Mattyboymr Friday 24th Feb 2012 at 12:08

    Just got mine but it was dated as the 22nd :P

  27. Porkcrapper Monday 5th Mar 2012 at 16:51

    i would love another windwaker-esque game, or even a 3d remake of windwaker! it is so underrated, and it's a shame...
