Some original Zelda love coming to the 3DS this holiday season.

The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past 2, an original title for the Nintendo 3DS, is making it’s way to the Nintendo's handheld in winter 2013 in the West and in 2014 in Japan. The game features a top-down view in 3D environments, looking similar to the Wind Waker remake screen shots from earlier in the year. The Legend of Zelda also features a unique ability that allows Link to portray himself on a wall to resemble a painting. This allows players to reach many different areas and opens a variety of options for puzzles.
This looks amazing ! What's left for E3?
Wait, North America gets it before Japan? Weird. That would be like Japan getting Halo 5 before America.

ejamer, im glad the pro-MM fanboys at Zelda Informer were wrong in worshipping that unknown Spanish retailer. Besides MM not being a good game IMO, there was no chance of 2 Zelda remakes in a 3 month period. Plus, Aounuma said the 3DS would get a new Zelda game before they even considered any more remakes for it.

The title (Link to the Past 2) lacks creativity, but I still came Besides Zelda II, the games have never been numbered.
I was hoping a new 2D Zelda would use sprites, but I'm not upset. This is awesome news.
I'm so surprised at all the negativity coming from this board post-Direct. I thought you guys would be more excited.

Aside from the dungeons I'm seeing photo comparisons of this game and Alttp and the over world is almost exactly the same. Not sure how I feel about that so far.Nintendo stated in the Direct that the game is set in the same world as ALTTP. No surpises, then.

I'm sure they'll do what they want Story be Darned.Aside from the dungeons I'm seeing photo comparisons of this game and Alttp and the over world is almost exactly the same.

I interpreted "same world" to mean Hyrule in general and the same timeline and such as LttP, not like literally the same level structure. But then how do you even make a new Zelda game with the same overworld layout? The world is all connected. Do they close up the old dungeons and have secret passages to new ones as if they were really in the SNES game but we lacked the right equipment or knowledge or whatever to access them (actually that sounds kind of cool)?

Exactly. This same polygonal art style is being used in the new Yoshi's Island (and the New Super Mario series uses it, too). I'm absolutely looking forward to this game, but I do not understand Nintendo's inability to come up with crazy, unique art styles. I would have killed for this game to have deeply 2-D graphical, hand-drawn approach like Rayman Origins/Legends, but alas...oh well.Wait, North America gets it before Japan? Weird. That would be like Japan getting Halo 5 before America.Not really. Zelda has slowly but surely been shifting to a series that is more believed in the West.
The general art style is a little to clayie for me and the Camera seems a little overly zoomed. Still looks interesting but the Camera thing could stop me from getting it.
"except the Paper Link. I am not a big fan of that mechanic. "Also in this game:
Fun fact: there's an extremely similar, if briefly used, mechanic in Season 3 of Telltale's Sam & Max games.
Also, yes. That camera needs to zoom out just a little bit more to satisfy my tastes - and to equal aLttP in representation.I can be wrong (never played LttP) but i think scale of the world and Link on a screen is closer to Link's Awakening.

It was pretty obvious based on the ND footage alone, but now you can rest your weary hearts.
