Skyward Sword might well be the swan song for the Nintendo Wii home console and one developers working on the series believes that the series has delivered success because it has never conformed to the limitations of any game genre.

Eiji Aonuma, who is a producer working on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, has told MCV that, “Zelda doesn’t fit into any gaming genre perfectly. Of course there are certain techniques and certain basics that are similar throughout the series, but really what we are striving to do with each new Zelda is offer a new world for people to enjoy and to experience.”

He added, “Over 25 years, while we’ve been working on the Zelda series and creating the games, we’ve always had a wealth of ideas, which I think is what has kept us going all these years.”

Nintendo has not announced a new Zelda game for the upcoming Wii U home console.
