Link has used plenty of forms of transportation through his games, from horseback to boats to trains, but his feet have never really left the ground (unless you count magic owl teleportation or giant leaf hang gliding). That may change in the next Legend of Zelda as Eiji Aonuma hints at Link being able to take flight somehow. Where did the idea come from? Much like Miyamoto, Aaonuma is taking ideas from his life at home.
"I have an eight-year-old son myself at home," he said in a recent interview, "and quite recently he started playing The Phantom Hourglass for DS, because when the software first hit the market he was too young. When he started playing with the boat, I told him: 'In the next Zelda, you are going to be able to ride on the train.' He answered: 'OK, Dad, first boat, and then train? Surely next time, Link is going to fly in the sky ... '"
"I just don't know. If many people make many speculations ... some of them might be correct. Right now, I have to refrain from commenting on anything," he concluded, while grinning.
He then went on to spill a few more beans as he praised the Wii MotionPlus controls that are being implemented into the game. "I believe that we will be able to offer some great innovations in the new Legend of Zelda. Of course I have to refrain from giving any details, but we are contemplating altering the way the game progresses in comparison with all the past Legend of Zelda franchises," he said after detailing how well the MotionPlus works for the game.
Want. Now.

I don't.
Spread my wings and fly away.
Being a flying creature? Uhhhh not sure...
Putting wind to the cap? Ok what.
WiiMotionPlus support? Hell yes!!!
I can make up absolutely arbitrary stats to support my arguments, too! I played the game and HATED it. I agree with this review in every way. There are plenty of others here saying the same. So while it might give you a hardon to act all 'taste elitest' and assume that what you personally like is the pinnacle of excellence and everyone else is either just trolling, playing controversial for comments, or is just incapable of making decisions for themselves on what they do and don't like, there's something shocking I need to tell you. You might want to sit down for this... Your opinion is not truth! *GASP* Yeah, totally, weird I know. Your opinion is just opinion. But quite a lot of us actually feel - not just pretending for the sake of being all naughty and confrontational - that this game is the pile of shit that Jim called it out for.
Telling someone their opinion is WRONG on an issue of opinion just makes you look like a spoiled brat. Disagree by all means, but making it all "OMG SISTER I'M SO UP IN YOUR FACE RIGHT NOW NO YOU DI'N'T *FINGER SNAP*" is ridiculous.
P.S. HALO FUCKING SUCKS. AND COCKS.
WHAT.
@faultymoose
Wow. :P
Yes they're the people complaining that Wiimote is too unresponsive but are too cheap to pay for Motion+. In other words the people unlikely to buy the game anyways but just like to complain.
I wanna get in on that shit storm...
Also, cool. I hope he rides on a bird or flying dodongo or something. Link with wings or Link in a plane would be strange and not right.
So if I like chicken inside of my donkey...
that counts doesn't it?
"There are people who DON'T want Wii MotionPlus in a Zelda game?"
I'm one of those. I think MotionPlus is worthless, I've played Wii Sports Resort and was not impressed therefore I have absolutely no desire to purchase this peripheral. Now, I don't care if they include additional MotionPlus controls for Zelda but if it is required I will be mad and likely not purchase.
