Zelda Wii U is more of a throwback to the original game than you think

Nintendo knows how to play on your nostalgia.

On Friday, the publisher helped bring The Game Awards in Las Vegas to a close with new video from The Legend of Zelda for Wii U that included an Easter egg that is a throwback to the original Zelda. This new is due out next year, which is nearly three decades after its first release on the Nintendo Entertainment System. And while the series is changing thanks to powerful technology and high-definition graphics, executive producer Eiji Aonuma is also taking the Zelda back to its roots.
