Zelda - Wind Waker Sequel Confirmed

Thanks to Shacknews for pointing to the Computer and Video Games site, which has an interview with Eiji Aonuma, the project director of Zelda:The Wind Waker for Gamecube. Among the subjects discussed are a Wind Waker sequel, of which Aonuma says: "..as I did between Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, I will use the same engine and the same graphics of Wind Waker for its sequel. However, I do plan on powering everything up a bit." He suggests the sequel should be playable for E3 2004, and also discusses other subjects, including the choice of cel-shading and puzzle design for the original Wind Waker.

Just finished Wind Waker. by d3kk · 2003-05-25 18:12 · Score: 2, Interesting

I actually just finished the game a few days ago, and I couldn't help but think the game was a little too short. There was a huge number of side-quests and places to explore, but it seems Nintendo concentrated a little too much on that instead of the main quest. It just didn't seem like it had much story compared to OOT. Only five dungeons? Come on.

Hopefully this sequel will be a little more like OOT instead of concentrating so much on open-endedness. Side-quests are great, but when the main storyline is much shorter because of it, I don't think it's such a great thing. I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up though if it's going to be anything like Majora's Mask was, which was sort of a flop.
