A Link To The Past 2 Announced

Posted on April 17, 2013 by Rae Michelle Richards

Nintendo will return to the setting of A Link To The Past with the announcement of a brand new Zelda title for the 3DS. The Legend of Zelda: Kamigami no Triforce 2 was announced during the Nintendo held this morning and will be available this Fall in the west and early 2014 in Asia.

The game is not a direct sequel to the SNES classic, but rather a new game set in the same universe. In addition to the new dungeons, a “wall drawing” mechanic has been added, allowing link to overcome distances and obstacles by becoming a drawing on dungeon walls. As you can see from the screenshots the game aims to maintain the look and feel of A Link To The Past while rendering everything in real time 3D.
