We all know....or should know that the current Zelda on the Wii...Zelda Twilight Princess is a Gamecube game....
Now its an awsome game...but it is a Gamecube game so it hardly uses the Wii Power (doesnt even maximize the Gamecubes power though its up there).... When could we expect another Zelda game specifically designed for the Wii....?
Perhaps sooner than wii think (:o )
The new issue of Game Informer (#165) reportedly alleges that the next Wii installment of The Legend of Zelda has been "deep in development for around a year." Admittedly, this rumor comes as little surprise, since consistent first-party support is crucial for Wii's success.
We needn't remind you that Twilight Princess is a GameCube game with tacked on Wii functionality. While no doubt a key asset to the Wii launch, Twilight Princess is not a showcase for the new platform. Rest assured Nintendo has been working on 'that' particular Zelda entry since the moment the Wii concept was birthed. That's not to say we expect a true Wii Zelda before 2008. Remember, Metroid and Mario are holding it down in '07.

So its not soon enough on the horizon to start looking forward to it...but its comforting to think that a Wii Zelda will eventualy come to the system...
