We've got enough Zelda for 2013 anyway.

Don’t expect anything more on the new Zelda Wii U title this year, series producer Eiji Aonuma has revealed we will be waiting until E3 next year to get some new information on the game.

Speaking to Mashable at the New York Comic Con he’s simply told the interviewer that ‘I’ll say more at E3 2014.’ in regards to the new Zelda title.

However that’s not all he had to say about the new game. When asked about the lack of openness in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword compared to past games and whether or not this new title would be more open. Here’s what he had to say.

“I think the most open-world Zelda we’ve had so far has been Wind Waker, just because you were able to sail the ocean and go all over the islands. When creating a game, we look at what is the core, kernel gameplay. You try to construct the game around that, and making that core mechanic the easiest to access.”

“For Skyward Sword, that kind of narrowed, focused world helped us with that, but at the same time it meant you didn’t have that wide-open world to explore. We’ve heard the complaint about lack of openness from a lot of fans. As we’re deciding what the core gameplay mechanic was, we have that open-world desire at the forefront of our minds, and we’re trying to figure out how to incorporate that as well.”

Would a more open Zelda be something you’d like to see?
