One of the most anticipated titles for the Wii U has not even been announced yet. That title would be the rumored Wii U Zelda.
Little information has been revealed as of late, but Zelda Informer has offered up a few hints and rumors of what the new game would offer. According to the website, the game will be revealed at the 2013 E3 and its release date will likely be in early 2014. Zelda informer also asserts that there may be an eShop demo for the title in late 2013.
The rumors also indicate that the game will feature a different art style from that of the HD tech demo showcased back during the 2011 E3 press conference. That style was similar to the 2006 title "Twilight Princess," but it seems that Nintendo is interested in sticking to the more impressionistic style of "Skyward Sword." Additionally, the article indicates that Nintendo of Japan prefers the motion controls of "Skyward Sword" to the game pad, but will likely develop the title for the pad.
The major news that Zelda Informer reveals is that Nintendo may delve deeper into the romance between Link and Zelda."
Nintendo of Japan was surprised at how well-received the romance was between Link and Zelda in "Skyward Sword and intends to flesh it out further for Zelda U. Because this dynamic was favored more in the West than by Japanese audiences, Nintendo of America is looking to popular American romance stories. Names likeTwilight and 50 Shades of Grey have popped up in conversation, but the extent to which they will inspire the next Zelda is unknown," says the article.
The final piece of information is one that has long been brought up every time a new Zelda is released: voice acting. Many critics have bemoaned the lack of voice acting in the Zelda games and it seems that Nintendo is weighing those options and figuring out whether it is finally time for Link to speak.
Wii U Daily mentioned back in September that the title was going to be the biggest Zelda ever and that it would likely release in 2014.
