When Nintendo delayed The Legend of Zelda for Wii U indefinitely earlier this year, some worried the project had shifted to the company's upcoming console, currently codenamed NX.

But now, Nintendo has confirmed that the game will still be released on Wii U.

"We're here to talk about Star Fox but Zelda is still coming to Wii U," Miyamoto told IGN today at E3 2015. "So don't worry about that."

Of course, it's possible that the new Zelda could be released for Wii U and NX. This has not been confirmed, but Nintendo previously released Twilight Princess for both Gamecube and Wii.

Miyamoto also explained that Zelda for Wii U wasn't shown at E3 today because Nintendo only wanted to talk about games coming in the immediate future.

"We have some really great Zelda footage and, at some point we will be showing that off, but not today," Miyamoto said.

During Nintendo's E3 briefing today, the company made a string of announcements, including Star Fox Zero for Wii U. Check out our roundup for everything you need to know.
