Brace yourselves Zelda fans because it seems that Zelda 3DS will reveal a “shock surprise” that will stun gamers who pick up the title. Eiji Aonuma has confirmed, in an interview with Edge magazine, that a “big surprise” is awaiting players in the opening moments of gameplay and has revealed that, in this sequel to A Link to the Past, the characters from the original have been given greater development. Mr. Aonuma says the team have done this so you may see what has happened to the characters since the events which occurred in the SNES classic. Mr. Aonuma also mentioned that by creating new gameplay mechanics, such as Link turning into a painting, they were able to structure a proper story together.

You can read what Mr. Aonuma had to say by reading his comments after the jump!

Here’s the quote which Mr. Aonuma stated in his interview with Edge magazine:

“This new title will feature lots of things that are new to the series; right at the start of the game, there’s a big surprise that will shock players. We started out with the new play mechanics, such as Link being able to become a painting and walk along the walls, and then figured out from there how to build a story around them. Rather than forcing elements of the original story into this one, we’ve instead focused on bringing back the characters, so you can see what happened to them after the events of the first game.”

I’m really looking forward to experiencing this new Zelda title for 3DS. The way Mr. Aonuma has been discussing the title has rejuvenated my excitement to play the game at the end of the year and I can’t wait to see what this “big surprise” actually is! Hopefully, expectations won’t be too high as many fans could end up being disappointed at the capacity of hype this surprise may bring.

Are you excited to play Zelda 3DS? Can you guess what this “big surprise” could actually be? Do you like the way Nintendo is planning to focus on characters from A Link to the Past for Zelda 3DS?
