Shigeru Miyamoto only recently made a remark that E3 is no longer a place to introduce new games for the core gamer. Additionally, it has been discovered that the legendary video game mastermind provided a response about making franchises such as Zelda and Mario more accessible. Unfortunately, it looks like those who have been hoping that the next Zelda would ramp up the difficulty won't find the next Zelda game to be any tougher. If anything, the next Zelda title could be even less hardcore than we're accustomed to. "Frankly, some of the so-called 'franchise games' are quite difficult for nongamers to play, so making accessible games for these players is key. With Zelda, we have to consider how to make it accessible for new gamers to pick up and play and enjoy just as hardcore gamers have. For example, we've got the Touch Generations series. Now, we're not necessarily going to make our "franchise" games in that way but we'll take what we know and have learned - the philosophy behind those games - and incorporate it into franchise games. That's a philosophy that's very strong at Nintendo."

Wow, if the new Zelda is easier than TP (which was a cake walk), I see no reason to get it. Good job Nintendo, you are even taking the hardcore franchises and dumbing them down. Can we expect Mario Hold Right to Win next?

Making it easier to play can range from having an improved,easier-to-use control scheme to fixing up some clunky gameplay elements.Just as long as it isn't accessible to the point where the game itself is simplified (Phantom Hourglass),and I'll be fine.

Agreed. Only part of WW that was harder than TP was the Triforce fetch quest, and that wasn't hard, just hard to endure. To echo others, more accessible =/= easier. It can mean more intuitive or more accessable, which don't necessarily make the game easier, it just lessens the learning curve. For example, I think the waggle to attack and the pointer cursor for shooting made Twilight Princess on the Wii more accessable than on the GCN, and I also thought that made it more fun.

Really, I think it's wishful thinking to say that Nintendo doesn't mean 'easier' when they say 'more accessible'. This is a big blow to Zelda. I'll still buy it since I've never felt a dire need for challenging gameplay like others do, but still, I expect a lot of disappointed fans and reviewers.

That would be an awfully large waste of money and attempted publicity to try to get out of a guess star that isn't allowed to even properly speak, therefore never being distinguished in their respective role.

If the new zelda is easier it can basically become a borefest.

Zelda needs a revamp or atleast some difficulty options.

I wouldn't necessarily mind if it was easier as long as they still made it a good game. Okami was very easy, didn't stop me from enjoying that game.

It doesn't matter weather they showed it or not. They confirmed that it's still in development.

the lack of screenshots indicates it's probably still in Alpha or worse....I don't expect any new Zelda game untill the release of the Wii Advance

That's a Spaceworld demo only meant to show off the power of the GC,not a trailer used to hype a real game.
