The Zelda bigwig admits that some online fans have figured out the role of the mystery character revealed in Zelda Wii artwork.
Eiji Aonuma has confirmed that certain internet speculators have figured out the story behind the character portrayed with Link in the Zelda Wii artwork revealed at this year's E3, but he won't reveal what that story is just yet.
In an interview with Offical Nintendo Magazine UK, Aonuma stated, "You will have to wait until next year when we can elaborate on this and many other things." He did admit that some fans were on the ball, however. "But what I can tell you is that yes I have read some of the speculation, and some of it is right! That is all I can say at the moment."
Recent comments plucked from the same interview hint at a Zelda Wii unveiling at E3 2010. Until then, Aonuma will keep this secret to himself.
