In an interview with The Guardian Eiji Aonuma, the famed director behind the Legend of Zelda franchise hints that Link might get to fly in the next Zelda instalment.

He doesn’t want to spoilt the “pleasant surprise” he’s got cooking, but he was willing to reveal this little tidbit:

“I have an eight-year-old son myself at home, and quite recently he started playing The Phantom Hourglass for DS, because when the software first hit the market he was too young. When he started playing with the boat, I told him: ‘In the next Zelda, you are going to be able to ride on the train.’ He answered: ‘OK, Dad, first boat, and then train? Surely next time, Link is going to fly in the sky … ‘”

To which Aonuma answered: “I just don’t know. If many people make many speculations … some of them might be correct. Right now, I have to refrain from commenting on anything.”
