    May 19, 2005 - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is easily one of the most hotly anticipated games of the year. But the game's epic size has caused some industry pundits to speculate that it could be delayed to 2006 in one or more regions of the globe.

    Good news, though. When questioned on the subject, Nintendo's vice president of corporate affairs, Perrin Kaplan, put the rumors to rest. Asked if Zelda would launch in America, Europe and Japan this year, Kaplan simply said, "Yes."

    The game is expected in Q4 2005.

    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess stars hero Link in an all-new epic quest set to the backdrop of Hyrule. In the new game, Link can cross over to the Twilight Realm and change into a wolf. The game is darker, grittier and more realistic than any Zelda project before it.
