Back in 2020, we shared a story about an axed Legend of Zelda project by the Metroid Prime team, Retro Studios.
It was supposedly an action/JRPG game that was going to star Sheik and would have been a story set within the “bad ending” of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – exploring the journey of the last Sheikah while Dark Gerudo were “giving their 100-year birth” to Ganon.
At the time, former Retro Studios artist, Sammy Hall, shared pre-production artwork of this supposedly cancelled project around the time of the Wii era. Now, in a bit of an update, last year’s gigaleak has pulled through with a new Nintendo document that seemingly reinforces the existence of this project. Here’s the translation, courtesy of Source Gaming editor-in-chief:
