A new Zelda game has been announced for the Nintendo 3DS.

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.

Good as long as it doesnt play like the NDS Zelda games - I really hated the touch screen controls, 3D and depth I can understand and it looks interesting ;)

I just watched the trailer on the eshop and it looks like it use standard button controls. In the trailer there is an "A" action icon on the lower right portion of the screen. Its hard to see, but lights up when Link melds into the walls. Also Link needs to charge up to perform a spin attack akin to LTTP pointing even further to "B" being the sword button.



I'm an advocate for motion controls, Nintendo, and Kicking freaking Toad to the Moon!
