Fans of The Legend of Zelda franchise will be pleased to hear that they will be able to expect more information on the upcoming The Legend of Zelda Wii U game at next year’s E3 2014 event.

During an interview with Mashable, Aonuma was asked whether or not he could reveal new information about the upcoming Zelda game for the Wii U to which he gave a concealed, yet concise answer to.

\”I\’ll say more at E3 2014.\” he said

Of course this should come as much of a surprise to anyone as Miyamoto did reveal in the past that the team did consider revealing Zelda Wii U at E3 2013

While Aonuma was not able to reveal any specifics, he did, however, mention that the team is working to incorporate the open world vibe similar to that of Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker.

\”I think the most open-world Zelda we\’ve had so far has been Wind Waker, just because you were able to sail the ocean and go all over the islands. When creating a game, we look at what is the core, kernel gameplay. You try to construct the game around that, and making that core mechanic the easiest to access,\” Aonuma told Mashable. \”For Skyward Sword, that kind of narrowed, focused world helped us with that, but at the same time it meant you didn\’t have that wide-open world to explore. We\’ve heard the complaint about lack of openness from a lot of fans. As we\’re deciding what the core gameplay mechanic was, we have that open-world desire at the forefront of our minds, and we\’re trying to figure out how to incorporate that as well.\”

In the past, Eiji Aonuma discussed discontent with making another Zelda game with the same formula, remarking that he wants to change it up. He also revealed in the past the the upcoming Zelda Wii U game will feature neither ultra realistic nor cartoon looking visuals which cause on to believe that the game will look a little something like what we saw at E3 2011, albeit much improved.
