wind waker 2In a late-afternoon presentation at the Game Developers Conference 2004 entitled The Evolution of a Franchise: The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo's newest The Wind Waker director, Eiji Aonuma inadvertently confirmed a sequel to the recent GameCube release. Tentatively called The Wind Waker 2 in the Zelda history timeline presented, the new GameCube adventure is set for a 2XXX release.
It's far from any truly new information, but now we can be sure that Mr. Aonuma is indeed directing a new Zelda quest for GCN.
He noted we would hear more about it at E3, and even hinted that the Zelda franchise might see further evolutions on the forthcoming DS handheld system.
