This is a Action-Adventure game. The game follows the top-down two-dimensional gameplay of various Zelda titles, especially A Link to the Past, though it is now presented with stereoscopic 3D graphics, and will also feature new dungeons. Exploration of dungeons will utilize the games 3D effects and feature Link jumping between levels to solve puzzles and advance. Early footage shows a few returning items from A Link to the Past, such as arrows for shooting enemies from a long distance and the mallet which allows Link to knock down pegs in the ground. The magic meter now refills on its own, a change from the original where it required potions to refill. Another new feature is the ability for Link to enter walls and become a drawing. When he does so, the camera shifts to a profile view and he is able to move along the walls to reach new areas. This ability causes the players magic meter to deplete with time. Links sword shoots projectiles when he is at full health as in the original game. Link also has an Arrow meter that goes down with use, and refills on its own.
Release: TBA for the 3DS
