This new game looks to the earliest entries in the Zelda series for inspiration.

Hörberg Productions, the one-man developer behind 3DS eShop platformer Gunman Clive, has begun work on another game for Nintendo's handheld, said to be heavily influenced by early titles in the Legend of Zelda franchise.

Although this untitled project is only in the preliminary development stages at the moment, designer Bertil Hörberg stated that it will played from a top-down perspective and feature 3D visuals, with an art style distinct from the Zelda titles that have inspired the game design.

In an interview with Siliconera, Hölberg said that he accepted the inevitable comparisons to the upcoming 3DS Zelda game, tentatively named A Link To The Past 2, but did not feel that his own project would have to be a competitor to Nintendo's first-party software.

"I think most players realize that my resources are rather more limited and I wouldn't presume to be in direct competition with Nintendo. I just hope people will be up for a bit more old-school action adventure gameplay regardless," said Hörberg.

I'm definitely interested to see what Hörberg can show us next. Gunman Clive was a fun game, and I appreciated it's stripped down approach to the mechanics and concepts of 2D action games. Hopefully he can pull off something similar with the Zelda formulae.

I'm also looking forward to it.
BY the way, if anyone is considering getting a Wii U Target is selling the basic version for $240

You're probably going to want to buy an external hard drive, but I bought a deluxe and within a month I bought an external hard drive so it wouldn't have made any difference to me.

I'm more excited for this than the One.
