Next Console Zelda To Be "Completely Different" From Twilight Princess
Earlier today, the good folks at IGN got a chance to sit down with Shigeru Miyamoto, the famed creator of the Mario and Zelda franchises. Throughout the interview, he was asked several questions regarding the next console installment of The Legend of Zelda, one of which being whether or not the game would follow after the events of Twilight Princess. His answer...
"Well, the story setting for this Zelda is, of course, in a completely different era and Link is older than he was previously. More approaching adulthood."
"I can't go into details except to say that it's something completely different."
Not exactly the most pleasant news, admittedly, since it means that we will likely have to wait for another game in order to see our beloved imp again. However, it also means that we have a much longer period of time to influence Midna's return. Let's make the best of this extension, guys!
UPDATE: During a personal roundtable with Shigeru Miyamoto (which took place this past Tuesday), a piece of concept art for Zelda Wii was shown to a "select group" of people. Giving into popular demand, however, Nintendo has officially released the image.
Now, despite having read IGN's recent interview with Miyamoto (which, mind you, only hints at this being a different hero), I can't help but say that this Link, aside from looking much taller, resembles his Twilight Princess incarnation to the letter. If nothing else, the art direction and style seems like it'll be an improved version of that seen in Link's last console quest.
Streaming MP3 Player
As we get geared up for some real music marketing, I've taken the liberty of hosting our ten Zelda remixes right here on WMB and providing a flash MP3 player on our music page, so why not head on down and bask in the talent of our diligent musicians?
Majora's Mask Cutscenes
Cutscene collection status: Owned. Want Midna Back is now in possession of what appears to be every single cutscene from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The Twist?
They were all collected by one person. One of our more prestigious members, Kylethedarkn, took up the liberty of collecting over two hundred and twenty scenes from MM by his own accord. Kyle also acts as Want Midna Back's resident web designer now, since Yadda is often missing in action. He's put most of our site together, and keeps most everything outside of the forum in check, from the Gallery to our Affiliates links, the graphics of which Kyle also contributed greatly to.
Heck, I think he made all but one of them. If he weren't already such an emphatic member of our initiative who has received a special rank as our "Triforce of Courage" for his efforts, I know he'd certainly get one for his dedication to these cutscenes.
Oh, well. We'll just have to write him a crummy article or something instead. You can find Kyle's hard work in the Videos Gallery.
Enjoy.
Get Blue Spheres!
Our daughter site, Get Blue Spheres!, has moved! It's got its own little place on the internet now thanks to the ever-benevolent Kaleb Grace (the same benevolent fellow who gave WMB its head start).
For those who haven't had a look, GBS is a Sonic fansite with a focus on a re-release of the retro minigame Blue Sphere, which originally appeared on the Sega Genesis. The forum is still being worked on, but if you want to get in on the action before it officially reveals its face to the internet, you should definitely do so! It's run by our very own Odolwa, and with a little help from its members present and future, it should make just as big of a dent on the world wide web as the prestigious site you currently find yourself on.
Cheerio!

Welcome
Welcome to the official website of Want Midna Back, a movement of Midna fans dedicated to influencing the return of the greatest video game character ever to hit the widescreen. Our Community, made up of people from all positions, is growing quickly. Already we have finished one project, the Mass Email, and are working on several more including a YouTube video centered on the Twilight Princess and the cause of WMB, and Twilight's Gift, a compilation of Midna-related material sent straight to those who could make our dream a reality.
If you share this aspiration and would like to help, or simply want to chat in our forums, we invite you to take a look at what's in the works. Thank you, dear Midna fan, welcome, and long live the Twilight Princess.
See you later.
