Akira Himekawa recently announced that they’d be producing another full length Legend of Zelda manga, however, they did not reveal off of what game the manga would be based. Well, Brian Gabriel of Hammerspace has deducted that the likeliest candidate is Twilight Princess. Himekawa had released scrapped concept art for a Twilight Princess comic some years ago, and looking at the silhouette of Link in the recent announcement picture, it’s clear that the design was pulled straight from the Twilight…

For anyone who has played a 3D Zelda game it is a familiar sight: as you watch Link run around you see his shield on his back, and his sword hilt sticking out on one side. If you have to haul a sword around on long trips it is a good way to carry one, but is it the best way to use it on the battlefield? A number of inventive people have managed to rip the models from various…

A video comparing the intros of Majora’s Mask on the N64 and Majora’s Mask 3D has been uploaded to Youtube by user Master0fHyrule. The video shows scenes from the title sequences and the games’ introductions– taking us around Clock Town and then into the Forest for that fateful altercation with Skull Kid.

A Link Between Worlds, as the proclaimed sequel of A Link to the Past, reuses a lot of elements in order to evoke a sense of nostalgia in Zelda fans who played through the 1992 classic. The newest Zelda installment on the 3DS even borrows the entire overworld from A Link to the Past, albeit in both polygonal and stereoscopic 3D this time around. Did Nintendo made the right decision to lift huge chunks of content from A Link Between…

We know that A Link Between Worlds is very similar to A Link to the Past in a lot of ways. The overworld is nearly identical, and a lot of the enemies and bosses are the same. Even the art styles and music are very similar. But just how close are these two games? The Bit Block did a video comparison of many screens from the two games, and it’s quite stunning. Hit the jump to see!
