Wow! After 21 years, The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past is getting an official sequel! I can't wait to play it on my Nintendo 3DS!

We were discussing this in the Earthbound thread. I'm pretty excited for it myself, and I'm glad that I recently bought a 3DS XL.

I am beyond amped!  LttP is my favorite game evar! (tied with SMW)

I just ask myself why all the good shit comes to the 3DS?

Did they already abandon the WiiU?

Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion 2, LttP 2???

IKR?! 

I keep hoping that the Wuu will get 3DS support, since it seems entirely possible given the controller.

Did any of you turn on your 3DS and go to the Nintendo Shop and download the 3D trailer! OMFG!

I don't like the camera angle. I'll be buying it, but I hope they change it from directly over head, to more of a 45 degree angle.

Not likely since one of Reggie's key points was that the top-down view is what they're trying to sort of re-invent.

[Dravenae]

That's fair enough, but its a bit overkill the way it looks now. I don't know, but to me it looks like theirs a big difference from this new over head angle compared to the old angle (A Link to The Past, Links Awakening etc).

Yeah the point of view is way too close.

Actually now you said that, I think if they took it back a bit, the angle they went with wouldn't be as drastic. The angle and point of view at the moment, I'd imagine, would leave me feeling pretty frustrated. Resident Evil Revelations has the same problem. Obviously there 2 entirely different games, but it certainly feels as though your trying to get a piece of Jills ass. Basically an inch or two away from sodomizing poor old Link! More needs to be on screen in my opinion.

damn as much as this excites me it pisses me off. Nintendo has been nothing but ports and remakes etc and not much original content anymore

[Dravenae]

Pretty sure its a sequel to A Link to the Past, does that not count as an original piece of work? To be honest, I look at Nintendo as the guys trying to break away from the recent trend of FPS wank that has been spewed from other game developers that really only develop games for both Sony and Microsoft, since Halo. If your referring to the Nintendo Wii U's launch titles, then hold your horses mate. The console is only 6-7 months old. If your referring to the 3DS, then honestly you haven't been looking hard enough. Sony and Microsoft has licensed their fair share of games that are either direct ports or remakes.

Back to original post, after a while of watching some more game footage, I'm looking forward to this game even more now. I still don't like the camera angle or how close the view point is to Link, but I'm getting excited!

[madrocsz]

its original, but they are riding the coattails of previous success... dont get me wrong i love zelda and will love the new game im sure but I would love to see some new IP's some more 3rd party attention and even rehashing some old first party titles or even some decent new ones
