Nintendo Talks Side Content in Zelda Wii U

Nintendo has given some small bits of insight into the format that The Legend of Zelda Wii U will take regarding side quests.

Speaking with YouTube user iJustine, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto explained that the game’s large world will be filled with side content outside of the series’ trademark dungeons.

“There may even be times where you forget what your goal is because you’re doing other things on the side,” Miyamoto explained. “There may be times where you go into one big, long dungeon or there may be times where you’re headed to a dungeon, and you’re doing other things along the side.”

While the Wii U iteration of Zelda will have a vast world, it won’t be the same type of open world that has become commonplace in games like Infamous, Grand Theft Auto, and The Elder Scrolls.

Nintendo has stated that the game is coming to Wii U in 2015, and that the game has improved much since its reveal at last year’s E3.
