Focusing on the Wii U and 3DS
By Valerie Hilgenfeldt
When the conference began shortly after 9:00AM yesterday, June 7th, late arrivals were still shuffling into the Nokia Theater, and Shigeru Miyamoto was speaking through a translator about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and – surprise, surprise – the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda in general.
