Aonuma tells the UK’s Official Nintendo Magazine that the Zelda team has been trying “something new in terms of the structure” of the next entry in The Legend of Zelda, which Shigeru Miyamoto teased at this year’s E3 in the form of new concept art.
The next Zelda game after The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks appears to be aimed at mixing up the now-familiar 3D formula. Aonuma tells ONM that he agrees with Miyamoto that “if we are following the same structure again and again, we might not be able to give long time Zelda fans a fresh surprise”.
The still unnamed Zelda title will take advantage of the Wii MotionPlus peripheral and more than likely will offer a new role for Link’s trusty Master Sword, as hinted at by the Wii game’s concept art.

To better his performance you have to exercise and get fit. The finished title is simply Legend of Zelda Wii (as market research has shown that the word Wii in the title automatically increases sales by 10,000%). Reggie Fils-Aime is VERY excited.
