New Zelda Game Won't Be "That Radically Different"

According to an article in the August issue of Nintendo Power, the next Wii Zelda game won't be a dramatic departure from past games.

"I don't think it's going to be that radically different," said Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto in the article.

The Zelda game in question was first teased in June at the E3 2009 expo, which showed artwork of a Twilight Princess-style Link standing alongside a new, unfamiliar character that some speculate is the embodiment of the Master Sword. Very little is currently known about the game, but Miyamoto's statement coupled with the teaser artwork implies that the new title might use the same game engine as Twilight Princess.

An analogous step would be the one between Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, in which the core engine and game style was not all that radically different, but still presented a fresh game in the Zelda universe.
