"Hall worked on the project between 2005 and 2008"

So no that still doesn't explain Retros recent 4 years of nothing.

Don't get over-excited. This is pre-production concept art. You can't cancel a game that was never greenlit.

Reading the article, it sounds like Nintendo took the bits of this concept they wanted for TP and SS and dumped the rest. Not that either of those is unbeatable or anything, but I'm not 100% convinced this grimdark "becoming the master sword" story would have been any better.

This project was dead by 2008 though, so it does nothing to answer the question of what the main body of Retro has been doing for the past five years. What the hell are they up to?

I think now it's safe to assume they're focusing on MP4. But I've been asking myself that for years. And the best answer that was given to me, was that beside not having a greenlit project to focus on, they were probably helping out with other projects inside Nintendo.

Reminds me of that western developer working on a final fantasy game

Fortress, by developer Grin, if I remember it correctly.

Nice artwork, but knowing Nintendo this is probably too weird and different for their visions of Zelda.

Tingle not ”weird” he is “special”.

Agreed.
