E3: Legend of Zelda for Wii Details and Artwork

Though Nintendo chose not to reveal any specific details of the upcoming

Zelda game for the Wii to the public, a few individuals were given minimal

information behind closed doors.

In this closed door event one piece of official art work was shown. At

first it was going to remain a secret, but it has now been released for

public viewing.

And as Shigeru Miyamoto said in a post E3 interview, Link does indeed look

a lot older and more mature even when compared to the Link from Twilight

Princess. When asked if the game would follow Twilight Princess, Miyamoto

stated that there would not be a connection as of now and that the game

would be many years after the events of Twilight Princess.

Another notable feature of this image is that Link is not holding a sword

of any kind. Though this could mean nothing at all, a lot of people on the

web are already speculating about possible intentions of this.

Finally, Link is standing behind some kind of spirit that looks very

similar to some kind of Zora spirit or fairy. Details on the relationship

were not revealed but it is sure to be revealed in time.
