The main character in The Legend of Zelda Wii U sure looks like longtime hero Link, but producer Eiji Aonuma is teasing that this may not be the case.

“No one explicitly said that that was Link," Aonuma told GamesBeat , leading to speculation that the blue-tuniced champion from the trailer isn't our familiar hero.The main candidate that seems to be cropping up is Zelda, with some suggesting that the character looks like her alter-ego Sheik minus a scarf and cap. Of course, this doesn't mean Link isn't the star of the upcoming game, and Aonuma could just be being vague for the time-being.With Zelda not sure until next year it may be a while before we know for sure. In the meantime, check out the trailer and let us know your thoughts and be sure to keep abreast of everything we know for sure
