It'll be the Wii U's first fully fledged new Zelda title.
And series producer Eiji Aonuma reckons he's squeezing everything he can out of the machine to make it amazing.
He said: "A huge, seamlessly unfolding world is something that can't be achieved if the hardware isn't advanced enough.
"Ever since we made the very first generation of Legend of Zelda games though, we've had as large a world as can be realised with the hardware, so you could say it was inevitable that we've now done the same with the new Wii U title."
He believes the upcoming game is going to blow people's minds with its amazing graphics and "vast" world to explore.
LAUNCH: The Legend of Zelda for Wii U is scheduled to launch later this year [GAMES PRESS]
“What's changed now is that the hardware has progressed to the point that you can now explore this vast world seamlessly”Eiji Aonuma, series producer
"When I first showed off the new Zelda game on the Wii U, it
seemed everyone was very excited and started proclaiming that a Zelda
game had at last become open world," he told Game Reactor.
"Zelda games have always allowed you to roam and explore a huge world.
"What's
changed now is that the hardware has progressed to the point that you
can now explore this vast world seamlessly; the underpinning of the game
hasn't changed."
The Legend of Zelda for Wii U is scheduled to
launch later this year. We can expect to see a lot more on the game in
the coming months
