The Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Draws From Super NES Inspiration
June 11, 2013
Earlier this year it was announced that a proper sequel to 1992's The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was on the way to the 3DS, and now Nintendo has shown more of the new game and announced its title. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (see what they did there?) harkens back to the old style of Zelda games with a familiar overworld, but includes some new gimmicks. Link can now become a living drawing of sorts to shimmy across 2D surfaces such as walls to bypass obstacles and take advantage of alternate routes unavailable to him as a 3D flesh and blood person. It's a cute effect that will surely play a large part of the new adventure. A Link Between Worlds is due out this November in what is becoming a very busy gaming season. Budget your time and your money appropriately.
