{{Quote|We must understand that our main job is to sell games. So personally I do not play as much as I want. I am currently very busy producing a new Zelda, a new Mario and a new Mario Kart on 3DS and a new Pikmin.|Miyamoto<ref>[[Interview:GameBlog.fr April 21st 2011]]</ref>}}

However, that quote was translated from Japanese to French to English, so it's difficult to discern how seriously it should be taken. It implies these are all going to be 3DS titles, but it could be just as easily taken to mean only the Mario Kart title is confirmed for the 3DS, and that's not even factoring in potential translation errors. Still, it does seem to suggest full confirmation that a new 3DS Zelda is being worked on by Miyamoto himself.

However, another interesting quote has surfaced, also from Miyamoto:

{{Quote|Are there any plans to adapt other older Nintendo games for the 3DS console?<br><br>Not really. We would like to create more new titles. For example, this year we are making Super Mario 3D, but it's not really a remake of [the Wii's Super Mario] Galaxy. [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past]] could be one of them. I think it would be good to see that world with a layered 3D effect.|Miyamoto<ref>[[Interview:Guardian_April_30th_2011]]</ref>}}

This quote implies that their exact plans for the project are not set in stone. At one point he implies that they want to make new titles, but then he suggests an A Link to the Past remake for the 3DS.

In recent interview by Edge, Miyamoto says that he'd rather make a new game starting from or using the same style as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

{{Quote|I think the answer would be the same if we're talking about just porting, but I think I'd be even more interested in creating something new maybe based on, or starting from, A Link To The Past. I think it's important to bring some really new software.|Miyamoto<ref>[[Interview:Edge April 12th 2012]]</ref>}}

At the [[25th Anniversary]] Symphony Concert in London, Aonuma told the Portuguese e-zine MyGames<ref>[[Interview:MyGames_March_11th_2011]]</ref> that he is currently working on a new Zelda title for the 3DS, and that it will be an original title, not a remake.  He didn't feel it was right to release two remakes so close together, but a ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' remake is still a possibility for the future.  He reiterated this sentiment in a November interview with GamesRadar:

All in all, exactly what the future for Zelda on the 3DS holds is a mystery. We can only speculate at this point.
