Det kommer kanske inte som någon större överraskning men i det senaste numret av Game Informer står det att spelet redan har varit under utveckling i ett år. Tidningen hade bland annat detta att säga:

Our sources tell us that the next instalment in this series has been deep in development for around a year. It's highly unlikely that Nintendo would release two Zelda games a year apart, but don't be surprised if this game comes up sooner than you think.
