New research into Retro Studios’ lost Legend Of Zelda project reveals its problematic development and overly simple gameplay loop 🎮

While the artist responsible shared some details on the game, such as it being an action role-player for the Nintendo Wii, new information has surfaced and explained why Retro’s pitch never saw the light of day.

Paul Tozour, who worked on it as a programmer, has described it as ‘an experiment gone wrong that happened to be set in the Zelda universe.’Tozour had few positives to share about the project, while speaking with YouTube channel Did You Know Gaming. He said the combat was like an even simpler version of Whac-A-Mole, where the player character stood in one place and defeated enemies by flicking the Wii remote.

At the time, Tozour expressed his concerns over the gameplay, but was told by a designer that super-simplified gameplay was ‘the wave of the future.’ That same designer cited the success of Link’s Crossbow Training as proof.
