The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 2 (ゼルダの伝説 神々のトライフォース2 Zeruda no Densetsu: Kamigami no Toraifōsu Tsū?, The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods 2) is an upcoming game in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series currently in development for the Nintendo 3DS. The game will be the second title in the series released on the 3DS, after The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and takes place in the same world as the SNES title The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Features
{spoiler} The game follows the top-down two-dimensional gameplay of various Zelda titles, especially A Link to the Past, though it is now presented with stereoscopic 3D graphics, and will also feature new dungeons. Exploration of dungeons will utilize the games 3D effects and feature Link jumping between levels to solve puzzles and advance. Early footage shows a few returning items from A Link to the Past, such as arrows for shooting enemies from a long distance and the mallet which allows Link to knock down pegs in the ground. The magic meter now refills on its own, a change from the original where it required potions to refill. Another new feature is the ability for Link to enter walls and become a drawing. When he does so, the camera shifts to a profile view and he is able to move along the walls to reach new areas. This ability causes the players magic meter to deplete with time. Links sword shoots projectiles when he is at full health as in the original game. Link also has an Arrow meter that goes down with use, and refills on its own.

Development
Development of a new Zelda title for the 3DS began in 2011. In 2012 Shigeru Miyamoto stated in an interview that he would like to remake A Link to the Past, but would rather create a new game inspired by it. Later, he said he was debating whether to make a sequel to A Link to the Past or a 3D remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. A Link to the Past 2 was officially unveiled on 17 April 2013 on Nintendo's online broadcast channel Nintendo Direct. The European and North American broadcasts did not provide the game's subtitle, only referring to it tentatively as The Legend of Zelda. A 3D trailer was released on the Nintendo eShop the same day.The game is confirmed to feature fully orchestrated music from the original. The idea of Link becoming flat like a picture came from the Phantom Ganon boss from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, where the antagonist hides inside paintings, and developers asked themselves why couldn't Link have the same ability.

Release Date
The Release Date is currently unknown.
