Zelda looks to be going online [Update: It's Fake]

chautemoc | June 29, 2008 | News | Wii

The ESRB has recently rated a title called 'Zelda Universe', which is listed as an online. Shigeru Miyamoto recently stated the current Zelda team consists of up to 100 individuals..so, a Zelda MMO, perhaps? Who's down?

One can only assume that it will be a Wii game that takes advantage of the system's always-online status. Obviously there are no details to confirm this and everything surrounding the mysterious entry is only speculation..

Uhm, the article source states that the game isn't going to be released and it was an online flash game 8 years ago. So no, I don't think there will be a Zelda MMO and I don't think this is a game that will be released at all. ESRB must be updating their archives or something.

I though Zelda Universe was the name of the official site...

It's a joke. Look at the source.

As much as that would be awesome.

I feel you are misguided.

I really don't think this could work, but as mentioned, doesn't have any solid source.

Hylian, Zora, Goron, Fairy, Kokiri, Twili, Tokay, Subrosian, Rito, Minish, Sheikah, Gerudo, Deku, etc...Need I say more? Hyrule's more diverse than you think.

Nintendo will probably never take online seriously. I mean look at them now. At this rate when they finally make an Zelda MMORPG we will be playing Duke Nukem Forever.

Suprisingly this looks cool.

I also have a huge feeling this will be a little bit like Four Sides.

I'm quite a big Zelda fan, but I don't think that a Zelda game would suit being online to be honest.. at least not as a main focus.

Hyrule is a great world, and it might fit well during the war with Gannon prior to the Ocarina of Time, but it wouldn´t be a Zelda game in the sense we know it.

I couldn't imagine running around with my friends dressed up like an elf, going into dungeons, and doing quests for people. Well, atleast I couldn't imagine doing it anywhere other than real life.

@ black doom, yeah I completely see what you're saying It would have to be a much different game. It would probably be like WoW, but more actiony and....probably a lot better.
