Legend of Zelda director Eiji Aonuma is taking extra steps to ensure that Link’s next adventure is a memorable one. Speaking to IGN, he revealed that the development team is using the improvements made in Twilight Princess as a starting point for the upcoming Wii-exclusive installment.

With Twilight Princess, we challenged ourself to create the most vast and realistic world the series had ever seen, but we don’t feel that 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.

Aonuma further explained that his end-goal is to leave a lasting impression with the next Zelda so it is remembered for years to come, just as Ocarina of Time has been. There’s still no concrete word on when we might see it in action, but rumors point to an E3 2010 appearance.
