Zelda late

After the obvious rush job that was Wind Waker it should be seen as positive, but news that the new Zelda game has been delayed until 2006 is still a blow. Twilight Princess was a highlight of E3 and looked set to be the biggest game this Christmas. Not now. But if the extra development time means Twilight Princess can get to within touching distance of the mighty Ocarina of Time then the delay will be worth it. Nintendo said: "Our development team has decided to take extra time to add some incredible new elements to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. As a result, the game will now launch in 2006 globally. We recognise there may be some disappointed fans; however we firmly believe this additional time will result in a more enjoyable gaming experience."
