Keth Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) The first details of the game were released during today's Nintendo Direct broadcast. It is set in the same world as the 1991 SNES classic A Link To The Past, and is not just a 3D remake of that game. Hyrule has a similar look and feel, but the new Legend of Zelda game (it doesn't yet have a subtitle) will heavily incorporate the handheld's 3D screen to its gameplay, especially the notion of depth and height. Footage shown during the Nintendo broadcast depicted Link being hurled up in the air towards the player, avoiding obstacles. Interestingly, Link also has the ability to transform into a crude 2D drawing. When Link activates this ability the perspective of the game changes, switch to a side-on view as Link walks along walls like moving graffiti. Link also benefits from other perks while inhabiting this form – he can now slip through narrow gaps and between the iron bars of a jail cell. No official date or subtitle was announced for the new 3DS Zelda title but it will be released in time for the 2013 holiday season. A special trailer will be made available on the Nintendo eShop, showcasing the game in all its three-dimensional livery.

Thrizzle Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'll take it. I prefer this to a remake of one of the 3D Zelda games, but an HD remake of one of the isometric ones would definitely be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 i was wary of the still images - kinda looked like the bland NSMB take on zelda art - but it does look better in motion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Oh man that dungeon looks annoying as hell. Kinda bugs me they didn't put in any full screen video time. Like mix it up a bit. The game itself looks like it's gonna be good. Is Link to the Past 2 the official name they're going with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
