People, this game is lots of fun to play. Also, it features a City which has a Desert Built inside it...

I don't really expect anything like this to ever get made. This is Nintendo we're talking about. But, dammit, I want that robo-rhino!

Nintendo: "We're preparing something new and fresh for the new Zelda, learning from the complaints that Twilight Princess was too samey, which we'll tell you about at E3 2010. All we can say right now is that it will use the Wii MotionPlus and the Master Sword is important somehow."
Every Kotaku Commenter: "I'm going to completely disregard what they said and make snide jokes about how the game will only be vaguely stylistically different and write the game off before we have more than two pieces of info about it!"
...I mean, to be fair, it's not just Kotaku commenters, it's the whole darn Internet. It's amazing, the capability some people have to completely ignore what's said directly to their faces.
Sigh, whatever. I'll let myself get hyped up for this game, and there's nothing any of you can do to stop me. You hear me?! NOTHING!!

If you don't know what that is, it's a pretty complicated "interview" with Aonuma (it seemed too complex just to be a joke and I'm kinda wishing it's true) about the new one that would take place between the future storyline of OoT and Wind Waker.
Link is gone from this world and Ganon re-emerges from his prison, a boy who THINKS he's Link (like... he's a psycho who worships him or something) tries to fight back. Throughout the game, the entire world is flooding, so by the end of the game, Hyrule will start to resemble the Great Sea.
I think it would be pretty interesting if pulled off right

And thanks to the new mandatory update, you'll get to hear an endless tinny "Hey! Listen!" during other completely unrelated games!
But wait! There's more! A previously dormant hidden battery and second speaker (both military-grade indestructible) inside your Wiimote will allow you to enjoy "Hey! Listen!" AT ALL TIMES.
"What if I'm not anywhere near my Wiimote?", you ask, lip trembling with fear. Well, that's the beauty of The Legend of Zelda: Navii! (The extra "i" indicates that it's a Wii product!) Our Nintendo Agents have implanted a similar battery and speaker inside your ears while you slept! You'll be able to enjoy our product EVERYWHERE YOU GO. We've wired it to your internal organs, so that the fun only stops when your heart does!
Don't worry about price, either. We're giving this experience away for FRII! (Again, the "i"s are because of the Wii. It's a pun. Awesome, right? We know... Ahem. Sorry. WII know.) Even if you've never touched a single game in your life, we've gone ahead and chipped you anyway! Feel that lump in your ear? That's your ticket to endless joy!
We will activate the Zelda experience on January 11th. We highly recommend making peace with your loved ones in the meantime, as studies have shown a 20% head explosion rate upon activation. The streets may rain with blood and skull fragments, but you'll be having too much fun to care!
The Legend of Zelda: Navii. January 11th, 2010. The ultimate gaming experience awaits!

The joke was about Nintendo's overzealous attitude, not about Navi.
But cheers anyway. I've never been accused of being long-winded, and now I can add that to my bio when "ShaggE: The Life and Times of A Kotaku Kommenter" comes out at finer bookstores worldwide.

I moderately enjoyed Twilight Princess, but Nintendo is starting to hit the "Recycle" button when it comes to game development.

1) Game will be similiar settings and themes to previous titles, hardcore will scream that Nintendo is going to the well one more time and not giving them what they want.
2) Game will be different from previous Zeldas with either a fresh settings and themes, hardcore will scream that Nintendo has ruined Zelda when all they want is classic Zelda gameplay.

i.e. After Wind Waker fans were clamoring for a return to OoT's more serious style, which was exactly, to the letter, what Twilight Princess was and everyone now bitches that its too similar to previous games.
People seem to forget that the games they love were created by the developers, not by the fans, so I don't see why the devlopers should have to bend over backwards to please the fans.
