1Up has written an article on their opinions of which game developers should tackle which upcoming games entitled “Where Do They Go From Here?”. In it, they mentioned they would like to see Supergiant Games, the creators of the hit game, Bastion, take a go at making a 2D Zelda title, despite the high budget Wii U Zelda game coming out within the next couple of years.

Over at gamerant.com, they’ve posted an article discussing how Skyward Sword was designed to make you care about Zelda (the girl) more, and debating whether such a move was necessary or not.
