Although, already confirmed to appear, Mr. Aonuma has newly stated in this interview that Link’s ability to turn into a painting happens to be linked in with the Dark World. Mr. Aonuma also mentioned that because the Light…

Good news everyone! A Link to the Past II will be running on 60 FPS, and the 3D is not required to do so! Hit the jump to hear more about it!      

Over at Amazon, you can now pre-order both the Wind Waker remake for the Wii U and Zelda 3DS. Both way before either has had an official release date attached. Zelda 3DS is price listed as  $39.99 USD, and the Wind Waker Wii U remake is listed as $59.99 USD. Both of these prices are what would be expected, and quite the normal for their consoles. Of course, these prices are likely mere guesses on Amazon’s part, but certainly educated…

Long-time Zelda director and producer Eiji Aonuma has made a giant claim in an interview with CNET by referring to Zelda 3DS as possibly the most “inventive” title in the series yet. Mr. Aonuma confirmed that this new handheld Zelda game would feel particularly different than its predecessors and mentions that it happens to be a far “different point of view”. Other details about Zelda 3DS were mentioned in the interview including the influence behind Link’s ability to turn into…

Zelda director, Eiji Aonuma, has confirmed in an interview with CNET that the Dark World previously experienced in A Link to the Past will indeed be making a reappearance for the game’s sequel, Zelda 3DS. Because Zelda 3DS will be placed in the same overworld as A Link to the Past, many fans wondered whether the Light and Dark worlds would make a long-awaited return. As a game-defining mechanism, this is exciting news and should come as a delight to…

First of all, let me reiterate (as I do in each of these editorials) there there is no such thing as “the worst Zelda”–just as there is no such thing as “the best Zelda”–for the very good reason that there’s no real way to evaluate these games in an unbiased way, thus one game might be Player A’s “best” while that same game might be Player B’s “worst”. Case in point: A Link to the Past. When I wrote the…

By now, we are all well aware that it’s finally been announced! After the release of Skyward Sword a year and a half ago, Zelda fans have finally been treated to the first look at our next Zelda title! Personally, I am ecstatic. While watching the live stream of the latest Nintendo Direct, I was just hoping that the minimal Zelda information we would receive would be a release date for the Oracle games in North America (which we got…

There is no doubt that the new Zelda game for the 3DS looks amazing, and with good reason, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions. One of which is the association with A Link to the Past. Its similarity with the 1992 classic has been publicly acknowledged by Nintendo itself, but whether it is to be an actual sequel to the game still remains to be seen.

By now you’ve all probably heard of the up-coming sequel to A Link to the Past, so I’ll keep this post short and sweet.  A new rumor has sparked from Twitter that apparently the much anticipated 3DS title might be running at a smooth 60 frames per second, whether it’s in 3D mode or not.  If you haven’t already noticed, this would be a major achievement for the high-tech handheld, especially if the frame rate is just as fast while…
