In an our-long interview with Dutch videogame journalists, Nintendo game designers Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma confirmed that a whole new Zelda game for Game Boy Advance is already well underway.
The interview, conducted by Jurjen Tiersma and Niels 't Hooft mainly focussed on the different aspects of Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for GameCube, which will be launched in Europe on May 3 and hit the US on March 25, 2003. On a side-note, Miyamoto told that the new GBA adventure would once again be developed by Capcom, under supervision of Nintendo's Japanese EAD team. Capcom also helmed the development on the last two Game Boy Color Zelda titles, Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages and the GBA port and enhancement of the SNES hit, A Link to the Past. Development of this as of yet untitled new game started as early as 2001, but was temporary put on hold to secure resources for development of The Four Swords, the multiplayer component of the GBA version of A Link to the Past.

A whole new Zelda on Nintendo's 32-bit handheld means good news for mobile gamers with an urge for truly new content. Not counting the multiplayer-only The Four Swords, the GBA has yet to see its first original installment in Nintendo's flagship Mario and Zelda series. Though not confirmed by Nintendo, the new Zelda GBA game will most likely make its public debut at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, May 2003.

Mr. Miyamoto concluded the interview with a promise to Nintendo fans waiting for more title announcements for both GBA and GameCube: "We have many new games for you at E3!"

More quotes and information from the interview will appear in Dutch videogame magazine Power Unlimited and Dutch TV-show Game Kings.

I'm definitely going to watch Game Kings tomorrow night

I'll tell you if there's any new details on the show.

Capcom better not screw up, or else:

Have you played Oracle of Ages and/or Seasons? Those were also by Capcom and they're equally good as (if not, better than) Link's Awakening.

^Exactly. I love the OOS/OOA games.

the name is "The Triforce Gods"

^ if that's true, I like the name!

Good news! E3 sounds like it's gonna be awesome.

I loved Oracle of Seasons. Capcom did a good job with A Link to the Past, also. I'm expecting good things this time around!

02-25-2003, 01:08 PM

Me too. And keep in mind that EAD (the Nintendo team behind the other Zelda games) will be supervising.

Ditto McCloaker · 02-27-2003, 08:56 PM

Then Capcom's got a good EAD on it's shoulders.

*slaps knee*

AAAAH HA HA HA HAAAA! I made a FUNNY!

I heard something like that as well, but it was on the Extended Play message boards, and I don't trust those idiots.

Actually, Triforce of the Gods is the English translation of the Japanese name of ALttP.

Why would they make this up?

I know the Oracle games, and they rule. I hope they don't accidently mess this up. We NEED a new Zelda.

03-01-2003, 10:19 PM

I have no reason to be worried. In fact I'm more worried about Wind Waker than this. Capcom had three chances to impress me, and they succeeded each time. I've no doubts they'll do a great job.

That's cool that he confirmed this. I will be buying this game.

Well, as said before in this topic; that's false.

Triforce of the Gods is the title translation of the Japanase Title of ALttP.

Oh, and my source is Nintendo Database .
