Three days ago, on June 2nd, Shigeru Miyamoto held a roundtable conference with selected members of the gaming press. During the conference, Miyamoto revealed the first sampling of the next Legend of Zelda game for Wii: a painting of a slightly older Link and a mysterious woman in a blue robe. The painting has since made its way onto the net via Nintendo's press site. You can see the full size image by clicking on the thumbnail above.

The popular theory going around is that the woman is a living personification of Link's Master Sword. If you'll notice, the actual Master Sword is no where to be seen in the painting. The theory makes sense if you think about it, but, of course, nothing has yet been confirmed.

Miyamoto is working hard to make sure the game hits store shelves next year but "it might take a little longer."
