Les images ont démontré un petit bonhomme avec une allure à la Link... dans wind wake.r.. de plus le jeu a un visuel plutot ressemblant, avec des paysages "cel-shaded" et des personnages similaires...

'Nintendo officials have taken notice. Citing concerns that Wiki could possibly violate trademarks, a Nintendo spokesman today announced that the company was taking "natural steps" to protect its intellectual properties, and that it would "seek appropriate measures at the appropriate time."

Despite the apparent similarities, Webzen representatives claim the protagonist in Wiki lacks any kind of fixed appearance, and that players can mold their virtual avatars however they wish. In other words, the screen shots of Wiki displaying a very Link-like character are purely coincidental, and can change depending on the tastes of the individual playing the game.
"The number of variables are in the tens of thousands," said Webzen representative Choi Hyun-woo in an interview with Korean newspaper JoongAng Daily, "We are still in the middle of developing the game, which will begin closed testing services in December."
We'll bring you further updates as the story develops. "
