We know factually that Retro Studios was working on a Sheik inspired Zelda game at some point between 2005 and 2008. In fact, we know a ton of details about this game thanks to the latest episode of Did You Know Gaming, where they interviewed two former Retro Studio developers who worked specifically on that title.

Another game inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics was also pitched to Nintendo, called Heroes of Hyrule. Not a whole lot is known about the game yet, as Did You Know Gaming has enough information to do a dedicated video they plan to publish in a few weeks. Until then, here are the details shared with us, via images and a story breakdown:
