How the Zelda Wii U reveal trailer broke the Internet

When Nintendo gave us a preview of the upcoming Wii U installment of its 30-year-old adventure series The Legend of Zelda at the Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show last week, it started a bit of a hubbub on the Internet. And the buzz intensified after producer Eiji Aonuma suggested that the character in the trailer might not have been series hero Link.

This seemed to give people plenty of reason to go over the trailer frame by frame. After all, if the person in the video isn’t Link, whom could it be?
