Shigeru Miyamoto on Spirit Tracks, as well as a bit on Zelda Wii's gameplay mechanics...
------
[Zelda ST] will be really fun. It's turning out to be rather challenging.
Many of our Japanese customers were introduced to the Zelda series with Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks could prove to be kind of hard for them, but I thought we'd show them what Zelda is really made of this time around. So it's turning into quite a unique title. I've managed to gather quite a few creative team members for Zelda: Spirit Tracks, so I'd like Zelda Wii to also enjoy creative development as much as possible.
On Zelda Wii...
About MotionPlus. We're implementing it so that players can feel like they themselves are holding the sword. In the previous Zelda (Twilight Princess) the targeting was based on the infrared pointer. This time however, we'll be using MotionPlus for a variety of more convenient targeting systems that will allow for more pleasant gameplay.
Izzi,s thoghts:
GOOD! it seems we are getting our challenging nintendo games back. I also heard (heard and read)that NEW super mario Bros will be challenging as well from people who played the game of coures i just want spirit tracks to have the zelda music not like PH who gave us boring music and even took away the zelda Chime if i remember.
OH and i would like to tell those people who keep on getting this the wrong way but Nintendo isnt trying to remake ocarina of time eveyone!!! they are trying to give you back that feeling of WOW we all got from playing OOT so they are not trying to surpase the game thay are trying to give you the same feeling thats why aounuma keeps on comparing all the new LOZ games to OOT. in my opinion that calls for a super ORIGINAL storyline!!! ,memorable characters please give us some humanoids this time and alot of them maybe some guys...you owe us girls nintendo after "sheik", Great music (memorable orcastrated plz),and just overall a wow experience!!!,i want a super complex storyline thogh i wanna see the Complex imaginative side of hyrule like hyrule going to war or something i would like to be link running around in a battlefield CYA-ing miself hehe
