More fuel to feed the flames of speculation...

While we've had vague hints from Satoru Iwata that The Legend of Zelda will hit Wii this year, there's still a wide expectation that we'll be waiting into 2011 - mainly due to a certain other two major Nintendo titles scheduled for 2010 launches.

Now though, Nintendo UK steps in to further cloud the issue, with a possible suggestion that the game will indeed see the light of day this year. The latest instalment the Nintendo Channel's cholesterol-increasingly cheesy Ninty News alludes to titles to get "fired up" about in 2010.

Of course, this could just mean that an official, full-blown announcement of Zelda is coming this year. President Iwata recently re-confirmed that the game will make an appearance at E3 this June.

We'll keep you updated on any new Zelda chatter as it rolls in.
