By "probably", I mean definitely, but I can't confirm it either way. In early November, a guy on 2chan going by the name Master Tingle or Dr. Tingle (GameFAQs converts the Japanese text into a long string of numbers) posted with what he claimed was information on Zelda Wii. It went largely ignored, but one of his claims was confirmed by Aonuma in an interview with IGN three weeks after his post. The claims are as follows:


• The game will diverge from the established dungeon-field-dungeon gameplay style (confirmed by Aonuma)

• You can select whether you're right or left-handed, and Link will have the same handedness as you

• The basic mechanics and gameplay elements are done, and they're currently working on the story and developing characters. Among them are an innkeeper in the town where Link lives and her young son, who looks up to him

• Steve is not the master sword, and as of now there are no plans for Link to get the Master Sword in the game. Her name is Aderu (maybe Adelle; GameFAQs ate the Japanese again), and she's not your typical companion like Ezlo or Midna, in that she's rarely there with you. What you see in the piece of concept/promotional art isn't her real face (this isn't elaborated on)

• Link's main weapon is a sword with different unlockable abilities, which Aderu communicates with you through

• Horseback combat is back, with a more intelligent Epona that is better at avoiding obstacles

• The character models for Link, Epona, and the Gorons have all been modified and touched up, but they're the only ones, suggesting no Zelda or Ganon (or entirely new models for them)


This is where his claims get a little... sketchy.


• This Link is the Hero of Time (presumably grown up after MM, but he didn't say)

• There is time travel (again, he didn't delve into it)

• The game does NOT take place in Hyrule


Again, this is all almost definitely fake, but there are a few cool ideas... Like changing your handedness, and Link doing the same. Aonuma mentioning the difference in game flow is what makes this noteworthy, but the limited information on supposedly finished gameplay mechanics and detailed information on characters make this all sound like a poorly-thought-out lie. Whatever the case may be, it's still interesting, even if it's just an insight into the mind of a Japanese Zelda fan.

Anyway, it doesn't seem all that improbable, but it's probably fake

What? Tons of things leaked on 2chan have proven accurate. This, however... Yeah, probably some guy enjoying a spot 'o internet anonymity.
