    IGN said:

    Speaking to IGN about the anticipated title, director Eiji Aonuma said, "With Twilight Princess, we challenged ourself to create the most vast and realistic world the series had ever seen, but we don't feel that we were able to fully complete this objective. With that as a starting point for our improvements to the series in the future, we are of course working on a new game for Wii."

    Might the forthcoming Zelda title, which is purportedly set to be unveiled at next year's E3, be the Wii equivalent of Majora's Mask?

    Says Aonuma: "For any game to be remembered for a long time, just like Ocarina of Time was, the game must give the strong impression that it has set a new starting point for future sequels to build upon. We are working to further improve upon the experiences found in Twilight Princess so that our future games can realize these innovations."

    We don't know what any of this really means, but somehow we're excited anyway.

    Seems like the Zelda reboot will learn more from Twilight Princess than we thought.

    Excellent! I am always bad at posting things first. I am usually like the fifth guy to post a news story late.

    The idea of a "Majora's Mask" for the Wii pleases me.

    I hope it's as good as Majora's Mask was. Still my favorite Zelda narrative.

    I do hope it'll be interesting like Majora's Mask. If it's the same formulae once again it will be a dissapointment for sure.

    Well, if they're improving on twilight princess then there's a lot to do. That said i'm seriously pumped for some new Zelda.

    It can't be a bad Zelda game being better than OoT.

    Personally, I hope it's not like any Zelda game we've seen before.  I hope they make a game with such amazing quality and renovations that it rivals what they did with OoT.
