A Link Between Worlds:
- Find dungeons.
- Explore dungeons at your own pace.
- Items no longer found in dungeons. Purchasable from in-game store with rupees.
- Purchase or rent. Former gives you the item permanently for a high price, latter gives you the item with a temporary amount of uses for a lower cost.
- Buy items in any order.
- Take items to dungeons and experiment.

 

Wait a moment, that sounds awful. You mean I can be in the middle of a boss fight and the item needed to defeat the boss can just stop working because I used it too many times?

No, i believe it means that after you rent an item for a long time, you will be able to purchase at a lower price, instead of the initial high price.

20 times to use the fire rod. In the middle of a boss, it ends, you are dead.

:(

This is not a fire rod, it is a pin to put on the map.

Yes. I was wrong. Wonder whats the thing above it and the bell button.

OP Updated. The link to the pics and artwork page have a big spoiler Kefka-Ganny artwork.

The mechanics definitely look weird, with all the rent or buy items. It will be interesting seeing how this turns out.

Wait, does Link actually have parents in this game?? lol. Maybe you consider this a spoiler.

It says you can do it in any order... after a certain point. So I expect that there will be two sets of dungeons, like in most Zeldas, and the first set will have to be done in a certain order, then the second group in whatever order you like.

Really interested to see the full effect of this change, how well will it actually pan out, such as how the difficulty of the game will be effected. Someone could be doing a dungeon with less hearts or items as someone else. I wonder what sort of system will be in place for when you actually get to keep the items.

You can play the original to find out. Taking on Dungeon 7 first, like a badass? Oh yeah...

My only concern is that the story will have to be watered down to allow this flexibility, and I'll miss having all my items with me.

..."Story?"...?

Anyways, it sounds like you can get all the items up front if you're willing to grind for them. So realistically, you can have all the items sooner than before!

Rental options certainly change the dynamic from what i was imagining.

I like how dynamic they're making overworld controls, too. That was one of my bigger gripes with Link to the Past (simple things that, in the real world or in 3D Zeldas, Link could just scrabble over or climb on, become insurmountable obstacles. No longer)

The waist-high fence: bane of every adventure hero.

The waist-high rubble: savior of the modern shooter hero!



3d World looks better after its new trailer and this looks to be going in an interesting direction, Possibly in one of the directions that the Wii U Zelda could be heading in
