Redan under E3-mässan talade Nintendo om att det skulle bli tal om större frihet och en öppnare värld i det kommande Legend of Zelda som utannonserades till Wii U. I en intervju med spelets producent Eiji Aonuma trycker han just på detta och förklarar att det inte kommer vara lika styrt som tidigare:
"The impact of the player character on the environment that has been, and really, having the player experience the impact, is something that is consistent through all versions of the Zelda games, but I want to continue to have players experience that and even build upon that experience. In traditional Zelda games there is kind of an order in which you do things. You can't do 3 until you do 1 and 2 for example. But with the new Zelda game, I really want to open the opportunities up for the players to really make an impact on their environment and to give them a little more freedom to choose their path the story takes."
