I think 3D games should be for Consoles only, Consoles are where the big budget games go. i think that ALL handheld Zelda games should keep the overhead view. i didnt play OoT3D but im guessing it was just a small version of the 64 game! which means it was nothing new, just a way to say "hey look, we got a handheld that looks and runs just as well if not better than the N64 Console" thats cool and all, i just feel the handhelds are a perfect way to keep the overhead view alive and relevant, i dont mind playing em on hand helds, as long as they dont cut the concept all together!
putting a top down game on a console say the Wii U, would just be a huge waste of development budget. when they could be using that budget to make us a bad *** Zelda game that we have been waiting for since WW or TP!

^That's not just it, people have been complaining how the new handheld game is overhear and it should be just because the 3DS is capable of 3D gaming. SO what does this mean? 3D games on the console AND handheld? This leaves nothing for the 2D games, do these REALLY want 2D to disappear forever? This sounds mean.

Yes. They had a nice run, but it's time to move on. We need more 3D titles for Zelda.

Nope. We need both.

Well, we haven't had a 2D game since MC. They may never come again, and I find it unlikely another will ever.

What are you talking about? We had two and they're hyping up a third right now.
Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks were both 2.5D. Err, they were 3D but played with the overhead style.

DKCR actually has full 3D setpieces. That's why things are able to come at you from the background in real-time.

Oh, right, but MOST of the gameplay is in 2D.

Every level is full 3D, just like every area in ALBW.

I never said they're not, all I said is the game's gameplay is mostly in 2D.

Donkey Kong Country Returns = Side Scroller gameplay
A Link Between Worlds = Top down view gameplay
2D or 3D = irrelevant to gameplay
Now everybody, STFU, and thank you.

It's actually very relevant. There are certain things you can do with 3D that you can't with 2D, such as with DKCR having Donkey go into the background and have things come at him from the background in real-time -- real-time being the key term. It also is what allows for transition between floors in the ALBW demo to be seamless, and what allows for things like Tektites being able to jump from the ground up on top of a small cliff that normally only Link would be capable of jumping down from, not to mention the "become a drawing" mechanic switching to a traditional 3D camera angle.
