The zelda game coming for the 3DS is going to be released in holiday 2013 on the 3DS eshop. it is going to be a sequel of a link to the past. this game will use the same world and art style as the classic A Link to the Past, but it will be a wholly new game on the 3DS. it will have a new feature- link's ability to turn himself into a drawing and move along walls in a 2D style of movement.

Development
Miyamoto did imply in an interview with French website GameBlog.fr that he is working on a new Zelda game, which is likely a 3DS title:
"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."
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.
On February 22, 2012, new hint was given by The Legend of Zelda producer, Eiji Aonuma. He has sent out a swapnote message on the Nintendo 3DS, telling people that he hopes they're looking forward to the next Zelda game which is likely to come out on the Nintendo 3DS.
Use of 3D in Zelda
On the subject of an original title on the 3DS, Aonuma gave GameInformer a response that could indicate that development is already underway:
"Of course we've thought about it. I'll give you one hint, but maybe you won't understand it. It will be a game in which having 3D will mean something."
A Link to the Past Remake
However, another interesting quote has surfaced, also from Miyamoto:
"Are there any plans to adapt other older Nintendo games for the 3DS console?
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: Link to the Past could be one of them. I think it would be good to see that world with a layered 3D effect."
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.
New Game Based on A Link to the Past
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.
"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."
Majora's Mask 3D
- Main article: Operation Moonfall
At the 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert in London, Aonuma told the Portuguese e-zine MyGames[5] 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 Majora's Mask remake is still a possibility for the future. He reiterated this sentiment in a November interview with GamesRadar:
"I did hear that there's a website here that was launched in North America by some people that are hoping we'll release a 3D version of Majora's Mask. Of course I'm very flattered to hear that so many people are asking for that game, so I hope that at some point in the future hopefully, maybe, we'll be able to do something with it."
All in all, exactly what the future for Zelda on the 3DS holds is a mystery. We can only speculate at this point.
