Despite the speculation, Wes Ball reassured fans by responding, “Relax guys, I’m one of you. I’ve just learned from a wise man; when it comes to Zelda, best to say nothing as things just get misinterpreted.” This cryptic reply further added to the mystery surrounding Ball’s relationship with the iconic video game series.
