Talking with IGN recently, Eiji Aonuma discussed how he believes that, although Twilight Princess didn’t live up to the public’s expectations, the next title in the series on the Wii will, thanks to lessons learned in the previous.

“With Twilight, we challenged ourselves to create the most vast and realistic world the series had ever seen,” said Aonuma, “but we don’t feel we were able to fully complete this objective. With that as a starting point for our improvements to the series in the future, we are of course working on a new game for Wii.

“For any game to be remembered for a long time, just like Ocarina of Time was, the game must give the strong impression that it has set a new starting point for future sequels to build upon. We are working to further improve upon the experiences found in Twilight Princess so that our future games can realize these innovations.”

Personally, I thought Twilight Princess was an amazing game, so anything that comes out of the lessons from that title can only be a good thing. This can’t come soon enough!
