If you haven't bought Wii Motion Plus yet, you will have to before playing the upcoming Legend of Zelda Wii.

In an interview with Famitsu, Nintendo's Eiji Aonuma revealed that Motion Plus will be needed to play the next Zelda game. Aonuma also said that he hopes the game will be playable at this year's E3.

"After actually making it compatible," explains producer Eiji Aonuma, "it just feels so natural. Link's sword and the controller that you're holding become one." Players will use Motion Plus to freely swing Link's sword, and it's been hinted that the way in which you fight enemies will be integral to some of the game's puzzles.

Elsewhere, Aonuma has stated that he hopes to have the new game playable at E3. The team will be working hard to get playable code ready as soon as possible. He also reveals that the game's basics are more or less ready, stating that "the core areas have come into clear view."
