Last Zelda Game As You Know It

Eurogamer is reporting on a radio interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, in which Nintendo's legendary designer claims that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess "will be, without a doubt, the last Zelda game as you know it in its present form."

"Our goal was to make the best Zelda game ever. The most rich, satisfying and [melancholic]. ... I worked on it personally, moreso than Wind Waker. I haven't invested as much into any game as I have this one."

Unsurprisingly, he did not reveal what this meant specifically, but if nothing else it implies that the Revolution version of Zelda, which has been basically confirmed, will not necessarily be built on the winning gameplay formula used since 1998's Ocarina of Time. Miyamoto also indicated that changes are in store for Mario as well, possibly with the addition of a new sidekick as well as new gameplay concepts. As far as Revolution goes, he noted that Nintendo is "working on some very impressive games which push interactivity to the max."

Or it could once again redefine a genre. They've done that more than they've failed.
