Nintendo’s Vitality Sensor has been met with doubt by many gamers, yet the list of hypothetical applications continue to expand. Although no software is currently confirmed for it’s use, Miyamoto has suggested the possibility of incorporating the hardware to the next installment of the Zelda series.

â€œWhenever we are going to use any new device it is possible to expand the appeal to those who are new to the videogaming world. At the same time, however, it is also fun to think of ways in which we might apply that new technology to existing forms of gameplay â€“ just like the way we are working on the new Legend Of Zelda together with Wii Motion Plus. As you become more scared, the enemies become even tougher. So maybe you might like to ask me to incorporate the Vitality Sensor into Zelda so that as you become more scared, the enemies become even tougher.â€ â€“ Shigeru Miyamoto

Interesting, yet even more so when one speculates other uses in the Zelda series. Perhaps as the player gets stressed, Link’s archery accuracy becomes askew. Link’s animation might also change with the player’s emotions. What are some other ways that this device could improve the Zelda series?
