Eiji Aonuma speaks about what he is most looking forward to with Zelda on the Wii U.

Nintendo may have shown off a Zelda demo during their unveiling of the Wii U console but they have already claimed that it may not be the final product. However, they will of course be working on a Zelda title for the Wii U and long-time producer Eiji Aonuma has spoken about what he is most looking forward to.

In an interview with Nintendo Power Mr. Aonuma spoke about how he is looking forward to working across two screens, similar to how they have done with the DS Zelda titles. However, he does note that the experience will be different from the DS as the screens are not close together:

"I really think [having two screens is] one of the most exciting features of the system. Unlike the Nintendo DS, there's distance between the television and you and your other screen. That really allows for some different interactions, some of which you saw [at E3]. For example, imagine having the contents of Link's satchel available to you on the screen of your controller, and using elements of the pouch to interact with gameplay on the television."

Eiji Aonuma then notes that with the upcoming Skyward Sword the Wii Remote and Nunchuck stand in for Link's sword and shield and this is what the gameplay was built around. With the Wii U the controller will obviously be different and he thinks they will incorporate a new weapon that the controller stands in for:

"With The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, we had the Nunchuck and Wii Remote sort of stand in for the sword and shield that Link carries. But in a game for the Wii U, I can definitely see something like the controller itself becoming the different items that Link is using, allowing you to interact with the game world and with the game items in a very different way."

Unless Nintendo surprise us we can't imagine a Zelda title for the Wii U will be released in the next few years but feel free to share your ideas about how the series could work on the Wii U using the comments section below.
