New details have reportedly been revealed regarding the cancelled Zelda Sheik game from developer Retro Studios.
In a new report from IGN, it’s been revealed that the spin-off Zelda title was in various stages of development for three years but was eventually cancelled. An anonymous source close to the project said that the title could never be called “a ‘traditional Zelda‘” game due to its gameplay style.
Back in 2020, early concept art was shared online which suggested that Ocarina Of Time‘s Sheik would be the main playable protagonist and would focus on the character’s dark timeline.
Ex-Retro Studio programmer Paul Tozour said, “I see people, you know, commenting on that concept art on the internet… and being like, ‘Oh my god, Retro was working on a Zelda game, that would have been so awesome,’ and like, I understand that feeling, but what they have to understand is it was not actually a game.
