More Zelda Wii Rumors

Another day, another rumor. Might be the new trend sport, to come up with a list of information about Zelda Wii. Well, it's part of the fun, but something tells this will go on until E3 2010 or at least until we know something more about the game. Someone over at GoNintendo posted a list of rumors from the Italian gaming site Spaziogames. Here's what it says:

  1. The development of the game began in Febraury 2006
  2. The development team is the largest ever used by Nintendo for the realization of a game
  3. The game will implement many ideas never met in a video game ever
  4. The use of the Wii Motion Plus will be a imprenscindibile component for the dynamics of the game
  5. The new Link will be much more mature, but the dark atmospheres of Twilight Princess will be left
  6. The Master Sword will play a key role in the history of the origin of the Legend, there is a reason if it not appear in the artwork
  7. At now is the only game that uses 100% of Wii hardware, at the same time the current power of Wii is not enough to achieve that result
  8. The appearance of Link will be renovated but not be completely unprecedented
  9. The plot will be the most articulate ever devised for an episode of Zelda
  10. may be the last chapter of the saga


Well, the last point probably means that it's the last game in the time/storyline and not the last Zelda game. Because with such a comment the whole thing would be easily dismissed as a fake, Nintendo won't end one of their biggest core franchises just like that. The rest of the list is pretty much, what everyone expects from the game. "The game uses MotionPlus." - "No, really?!" Anyone could compile such a list. Just let's take another look at it:

  1. Well, Nintendo once stated that the development started about a year before the release of Twilight Princess.
  2. I like that one. My theory still is, that Retro Studios is also working on Zelda Wii together with Nintendo EAD3. Which would be one awesome team.
  3. Vague statement. Without an example this means nothing.
  4. "No, really?!"
  5. Someone saw the artwork.
  6. Someone saw the girl on the artwork.
  7. Yeah, after the news, that the Zelda Wii team feels pressured from the graphics of Monster Hunter Tri, everyone expects the best looking Wii game now. Whether or not it will be is left to be seen.
  8. Someone saw the artwork.
  9. Again a very vague statement. "The story is going to be epic." Woah. But why the most articulated? What does that even mean? Like the articulation is awesome, but the story itself sucks.
  10. Some cool timeline placement statement to make the whole thing look more credible. Not.


See? It's nothing. Nothing that we didn't know or expect already. And what makes the whole thing fake to begin with is the fact that the these news nowhere appear on the said Italian site. Various sources confirm that. It's basically just an example, how everyone can easily come up with such a list.
