New Link, New Villian for The Legend of Zelda Wii U

New Link, New Villian for The Legend of Zelda Wii U on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

The official listing for the new Legend of Zelda game for Wii U suggests that Link will face a brand new enemy.

Not much is known about the Wii U game, except that it'll aim to shake up the series conventions as much as possible. A short snippet of the game shown at E3 highlights a striking new art aesthetic and promises a more open-world approach to exploration.

Nothing yet is known about the storyline or timeline placement, but according to the official Japanese website, series protagonist Link will go up against a "new nemesis" in a world "spread indefinitely without boundaries."

Do you think it'll be a completely new villain, or will Ganon once again be involved in some capacity?

Anyone wager Ganon hijacks the story in the end?

How about Ganon is the nemesis from the start, but then HE gets hijacked by a stronger bad guy?

Edit: I bet the Nintendo.co.uk is just talking about the 'Octobot' enemy from the reveal trailer.

Methinks, yes!

Would be great to see him and Link working together though, then Ganon turning on him later on.

Like Monkey Island 4, sort of.

how about the new enemy is so strong it takes the tri force to beat it , zelda, link and ganon all playable...

sounds like something platinum games would come up with.  i like it, and would love to see that, but dunno if nintendo alone would do that.

I like the open world aspect & miss it from the first 2 Zelda games. I wouldn't mind SOME sort of nod to Ganon in the story but it's good to see Nintendo wanting to keep things fresh for fans both new & Jaded like myself.

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422

So this has been confirmed to be a crappy translation and FAKE.

No idea, but it is possible & Nintendo has outsourced the position of villain in other Zelda games, Vatii, both Oracle games ext.
