Zelda 3DS Confirmed

zelda 3ds

Although most of us have not even played Skyward Sword, with the game launching in a matter of weeks, Nintendo is apparently already making plans for a new Legend of Zelda game. Aonuma, the Legend of Zelda series producer, has recently confirmed that a new Zelda game is in production for the Nintendo 3DS.

Aonuma has stated that Zelda for the 3DS will be more closely related to the console Zelda games that the previous ones for the DS system.

“We are already preparing a new game, a game in the series for the Nintendo 3DS, but don’t think that it is a direct sequel to the Zelda titles released on DS. We are talking about a new game, but it takes much of what has been done on previous consoles.”

So there we have it. What kind of Zelda game would you like to see on the 3DS? A game like Link’s Awakening or a full on adventure like Ocarina of Time 3D? Let us know what you think in the comments.

    Hopefully this game will be have the graphics of Twilight Princess. The detail would look amazing on a Nintendo 3DS, and it'd give be something new for handheld Zelda games!

    • Zeldachick says:

      *be something new, not "give be". My bad.

      • noahglaser says:

        Do you think the 3DS could handle TP style graphics? If it could I think the game would be fairly short and not expansive. Does anybody else know what exactly the 3ds is capable of tech wise?

        • malik moss says:

          TP is a gamecube Game, Street fighter 4 is a PS3 and xbox 360 and its on the 3DS you do the math

          • noahglaser says:

            street fighter is also a basic arcade fighter game with minimal strain. it does not feature a gigantic world or anything

        • David Wevill says:

          I don't think Zeldachick meant use the exact same graphics, just the art style. It can have the same art style without having the same amount of power as Twilight Princess, I mean Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks used the same style as Wind Waker. Besides, I think you're kind of underestimating the capabilities of the 3DS, I mean considering games like Super Mario 3D Land and Kid Icarus Uprising, I believe the 3DS could handle Twilight Princess graphics or even make the graphics look better (not that the graphics in Twilight Princess were bad, I think they're quite good for the GameCube), as well as being a big adventure.

    How about Nintendo trying to innovate again, like they did with Skyward, instead of rehashing old graphic styles?

  3. Mike says:

    innovation would be good. and cant wait for majoras mask 3d

  4. Immortal Kurei says:

    I heard from another zelda fan site that there was a quote from Miyamoto about adapting The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past with a layered 3D effect as a possible Zelda 3DS game.

  5. Merfer says:

    Ocarina of Time 3D based.

  6. 7DS says:

    should have something around the lines of minish cap, that game was the best handheld one

    • noahglaser says:

      Why did you like TMC so much? In my opinion it was the handheld Zelda that started to lead to the decline in quality.

      Again in my opinion, the DS games were the worse handhelds, then tmc.

      The 2 Oracles I thought were the best and then Links Awakening close behind

  7. Noe camacho says:

    Nintendo if u gonna make a new Zelda game i will buy it if its like 3 or 4 months after Skyward Sword.I think u should make a re-make of Majoras Mask or a game that is about a big adventure like Ocarina of Time,Twilight Princess,or Majoras Mask! But please reply ok to see what u guys think.    

  8. Jordan says:

    I want to see a Zelda RPG

  9. QuinZ says:

    I can only hope they don't remake another Zelda game. I am really happy with how they are now, even though I did enjoy a 3D version of the Oceania of Time. But seeing something like a Link to the Past (my personal favorite zelda) remade would make me weep. I would however, love to see a /new/ zelda game, perferably something with toon link that wasn't super childish. I'm talking to you spirit tracks.

  10. Orange says:

    A new adventure for Ocarina of Time Link, no not Majora, but what happens after that. His journey to find Navi would be absolutely wonderful

  11. Pink_Link says:

    I think something with Wind Waker style graphics and gameplay, but a world akin to Ocarina of Time, would be awesome. Despite what other fans think, to me WW was one of the best in the series and to see something like it again would be a dream come true.

  12. Hylian_Saiyan says:

    I'm not too worried about the graphic style, it's the engine the game runs on and the Over-world the game (I hope) will have. I wanna see the OOT 3D engine used again, with a completely different version of Hyrule Field. Nothing quite comes close to the feeling of running on an open field during the day and encountering a strong enemy.

  13. Becku says:

    The 3DS is capable of the Wind waker at a very hard push.

  14. E2zD says:

    Paper Zelda would be awesome for the 3ds.

  15. NintendoInfoFlp says:

    Im happy whatever game it will be aslong as it is a zelda game and does not look like phantom hourglass or spirit tracks ughh…

  16. [...] = "000000"; google_color_url = "000000"; google_ui_features = "rc:10"; We already know that a Zelda 3DS title is in the works, but a recent rumor is suggesting that in fact, there may be 2 Zelda titles being worked on.This [...]
