Nintendo has not been satisfied with the sales of the Wii U home console, and it's unlikely that the new Legend of Zelda title for the platform will rectify the situation. However, it seems that the company is currently satisfied with the progress of the development process and aims to create something special when it comes to gameplay.



Eiji Aonuma, the leading producer, working on the title, tells the Japanese magazine Famitsu, quoted by Gamespot, that he is aiming to create a title that has the same impact Ocarina of Time had on the fan base when it arrived in the late '90s.
He adds, "When we did Skyward Sword for the Wii, at the end stages of development, I was in charge of the characters' dialogue and the in-game text. And, now as well, it's like it was then. I had to work on text today, too. But, the game has really taken shape, and things have gotten easier. That means things are progressing well."
Aonuma also says that the experience of playing the new Legend of Zelda is like going from Japanese to Western style food, but he does not elaborate on the comparison.
The game was first revealed in 2013, when the Wii U seemed like it might still be a solid platform for Nintendo, and it was initially set to arrive late last year but was pushed back to make sure that it offers the expected quality.
The Legend of Zelda might also be offered on the new NX There are rumors saying that the delay for the game is not linked to quality and gameplay tweaks, but to the fact that Nintendo wants to have it ready for its new hardware platform, in order to offer a big boost in sales when it arrives.
The new Legend of Zelda is the first title in the series to use high-definition graphics and a semi-open world structure, which is a major innovation for a franchise that has long relied on carefully structured dungeons that need to be dealt with in a clear order.
The Nintendo NX does not currently have an official launch window, a price or a set of hardware specs.
Rumors are saying that manufacturing tests are already being conducted at Foxconn facilities and that, as soon as production starts, Nintendo will make it official announcement, with the aim being to deliver the new hardware before the end of the year.
Coupled with The Legend of Zelda, the NX could reach its goal of selling 10 to 12 million units before the end of the current fiscal year.
