Yup. We're getting a new Zelda game set in the same game world as Link to the Past. An actual sequel to the best Zelda game of all time. [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oaS9yBGbmU[/yt]
Well the 2d overview left me scratching my head at first as it seemed a step back, but they sold it to me right up until... you can also transform into a drawing on the wall.
Hands down the best fucking news I've heard in a while! Unless Disney buys it and cancels it, it'll be a gem. A Link To The Past was never bested by any other game in the series. (Although I haven't played Skyward Sword). Gotta get a 3DS now!
I don't LOVE the art direction, from this brief glimpse. But i'll probably LOVE the game when it comes out.
Think they'll make a wii version? Also, I wonder when the big LOTR-like Zelda movie will be made? It's gotta happen sooner or later!
While this is good news....I must admit I had a hard time keeping a straight face when he said "...a new original story." I mean come on. If it were different, it wouldn't be Zelda.
Nintendo isn't making games for the Wii anymore. I would guess a Wii U version is unlikely as well, since they are releasing Wind Waker HD for the Wii U later this year.
I'm just glad they're finally ditching the shitty stylus controls. Buttons and a D-pad -- that's all you need.
Do the XL versions of the various DS models lend themselves any better to non-stylus controls? I tried a few GBA games on my DS Lite and had to go back to my GBA after a while, the rectangular form just wasn't comfortable enough.
