That trailer for the new Legend of Zelda for the Wii U sure looked great, didn’t it? But what was up with Link? He wasn’t wearing his iconic green tunic or hat. Why did Link look so weird?

“No one explicitly said that that was Link.”

That’s what Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma told me when I asked him about Link’s, or whoever it is’, new appearance during an interview at Nintendo’s E3 booth. He said this with a smile and a laugh. Could the bow-wielding hero we just saw not be Link, the star of every game in the series history?

Earlier in the interview, Aonuma told me that he was always looking for ways to shake up the series conventions. We saw this in the recent A Link Between Worlds for the 3DS, which let you explore dungeons in any order you wanted while renting items from a store. But a Zelda game without Link as the main hero? That would be a huge blow to tradition.

So, who is that? The outfit actually looks like the same one Link wore in the beginning of The Wind Waker. Aonuma himself smiled when I brought up this connection. Could this new entry be tied to that universe? Of course, that doesn’t explain why this wouldn’t be Link. Maybe it’s a child of a Link we already played as, like the one from Wind Waker or Skyward Sword. Let the speculation begin.

Makes more sense as to why Link didn't look like Link.

i think it was link
who just hadnt received his hero uniform yet
OR what if its ZELDA

Looks like some guy is livestreaming the Nintendo round table for Smash Bros. Unless he's trolling cause I know this is supposed to be press only.

The trailer for ZELDA was lifted straight off of Princess Mononoke. I aint mad though, loving the miyazaki influence.

Also noticed a lot of Miyazaki influence in the art style of Ori and the Blind Forest

 

[shogun]

Just Link in different clothes.

 

[Gordonson]

I think it could a futuristic setting, with that boy being a descendant of Link.

Until yesterday I honestly didn't give much of a damn about Sunset Overdrive...now it's one of the games I'm looking forward to the most.

Well that video is just some guy posting his reactions not the actual roundtable.
