Back at E3, our team got to try many of the upcoming Nintendo titles, and A Link Between Worlds was the one we were most excited to get our hands on. Before getting into the details, I have to admit that I’m not a A Link to the Past fanatic, so to speak. I’ve only played the game once…
Just moments ago, we got our second look at the next installment to the Zelda series. What we initially knew as “A Link to the Past 2” now has an official title of A Link Between Worlds. Hit the jump to see a brand new trailer and official artwork!
There are a few more interesting tidbits from the Eiji Aonuma’s EDGE interview we mentioned yesterday, wherein he confirmed that A Link to the Past 2 will run at 60 fps. The Zelda director also teases “a big surprise” for players. The boss man has also expressed his desire to work on non-Zelda titles before…
In a recent interview with CNET, Eiji Aonuma discussed what is on every Zelda fan’s mind—A Link to the Past 2. According to Aonuma, this sequel feels “different” than any Zelda predecessor. While this statement was obviously vague in context, Aonuma stated that having a clean slate to work with on the 3DS provided inspiration for the title.…
With all the excitement of A Link to the Past 2 launching, Nintendo has decided to give us another surprise. In a Wii U Virtual Console video, A Link to the Past was showcased as a game to be launched in the near future. I can’t help but think that this is appropriate, as more…
There is certainly a lot to look forward to as a Zelda fan. With a remake, sequel and a brand new game, there’s something for everyone with The Wind Waker HD, A Link to the Past 2 and the untitled Wii U instalment. But how on Earth does Nintendo manage all three games simultaneously? Nintendo…
Japan had a recent Nintendo Direct broadcast focused on the Wii U Miiverse, with Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma addressing series fans. Most interestingly, he revealed that the concept of restructuring a 2D Zelda title into 3D has been something in the works at Nintendo since 2011. He also noted that development progress is going…
Nintendo Europe President Satoru Shibata already told us that the new Zelda 3DS title will be set within the same world as A Link to the Past, but it looks like he meant it literally to some extent. As you can see from the comparison image above (thanks to NeoGaf), at least some sections of the…
With the exciting announcement of A Link to the Past 2, everyone is eager to discuss what they think of the trailer and theories behind the game’s content.

A mere 24 hours after the huge A Link to the Past 2 announcement, multiple gaming journalism outlets were given access to a demo.

Considering a number of the portable entries in the Zelda series have been handled by Capcom, you may be wondering just who will be in charge of A Link to the Past 2. We can confirm that the game is in good hands indeed, as Polygon reports that Eiji Aonuma and his team at Nintendo…
As ridiculous as the title of this post may sound, Zelda fans already know the complexities of the timeline. The upcoming 3DS title may be set in the world of A Link to the Past, but knowing Nintendo, who knows when it will take place exactly? While we’re tentatively calling this game A Link to the…
Nintendo has just announced that a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is on its way for the Nintendo 3DS. The game will feature new dungeons and a new storyline, and Link will be able to transform into a moving wall drawing, which will switch the camera perspective and allow…
Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon released last week and man, what a game. I’ve been enjoying the heck out of it, and the fact that the team at Next Level Games were inspired by Zelda could go some way towards explaining its greatness. In an interview on IGN, gameplay engineer Brian Davis discussed how Toad’s role…
Some of Hyrule’s mysteries are veritable founts of secret knowledge, partial truths, and manifold quotes that, while they don’t entirely spell out Nintendo’s hidden secrets, at least point in the general direction of the creators’ thought processes.
