Comparing the Zelda 3DS Overworld to A Link to the Past: A Bit Too Close for Comfort

GenGAME writes: "Both Reggie (during Nintendo Direct) and Mr. Aonuma (on Miiverse) have said that the game features the same world as A Link to the Past, but with “a new story and new dungeons and puzzles.” However, neither of them has even remotely suggested that the overworld has changed significantly from the SNES game."

It's too bad that I really like the concept, but really don't like how Nintendo keeps insisting "same world, new dungeons/puzzles and story." Do we REALLY want to experience the same world? I think not. Maybe we want to see Hyrule in a different way - but that doesn't mean we want Hyrule to be more or less remade pixel-for-pixel.

Erimgard4025d ago

Well, I guess it depends on how much of the map is identical. Hopefully the map is much bigger.

legendoflex4025d ago

I'm HOPING the game substitutes new areas for the Dark World parts of LttP. I'd be fine with the first few dungeons in the old world, as long as there's something new to explore later on.

But with the NSMB track record, I'm not believing anything until I see it.

We will probably get to see whole new parts of the world never seen before.

Kennytaur4025d ago

It's like they couldn't decide whether to make a new game or a remake.

And it looks like CDI Link and Wind Waker Link had a baby.

kirbyu4025d ago

Why's this so shocking? They said it would be this way.

legendoflex4025d ago

Just because Super Mario Bros. 3 took place in the Mushroom World doesn't mean its world was a copy of Super Mario Bros. 1.

kirbyu4025d ago

No, Nintendo said this game would have the same overworld as LttP.

BullyMangler4025d ago

MontyQ4025d ago

I am a huge Zelda fan and love them all, but for me Ocarina Of Time is the greatest and my second all time favourite game after Final Fantasy VII.

LoveSpuds613d ago (Edited 613d ago )

You sir, have good taste in games :)

I also love all of the Zelda games but I adore Windwaker (Specifically the HD version on WiiU) most of all. It is a close run thing with Breath of the Wild though.

Special mention to Cadence of Hyrule too, what an awesome spin off title that was!

GaboonViper612d ago

Cheers Spuds, yep i love Windwaker too, beautiful artstyle, and i loved sailing and finding all the secrets out there.

blackbeld612d ago

Agreed. For me top 3 of all time is.

1. ocarina of time
2. Final fantasy Vll
3. MGS1

GaboonViper612d ago

Brilliant top 3, would love a MGS1 remake that has been rumoured.

LoveSpuds612d ago

Yup, hard to argue with that top 3 squire, some quality games right there!

-Foxtrot614d ago

Oh gee can't imagine what Number 1 is

....

A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker etc is better than Breath of the Wild.

lockedongamer1614d ago

I respectfully disagree, but they're all great games.

porkChop613d ago

I think it really depends on what you're looking for. If you want a traditional Zelda game then OoT or WW would be better to you. But if you want a Zelda game that really leans into adventure and exploration, and if you want intelligent systems/logic, BotW would be the better game.

I enjoy both. I understand why some people aren't fond of it but for me it was a breath of fresh air that I really needed. I'd become so burnt out on unimaginative games and BotW sort of made me appreciate games again, as weird as that may sound.

godofboobees613d ago

Those are not traditional Zelda games

Crows90612d ago

Right...so let's pretend ocarina of time didnt have exploration, secret dungeons and other secrets. Complex boss mechanics and exploration rewards. At least a traditional Zelda has dungeons.

porkChop612d ago

What point are you attempting to make? At no point did I say that OoT didn't have any of that. However, the level of exploration and sense of adventure are vastly different between OoT and BotW.

Brazz613d ago

Breath of the Wild is overrated as shot, Wind waker is much better.

P_Bomb613d ago

I’m a Link to the Past guy.

MadLad613d ago

Majora's Mask still holds as my favorite to this day, despite being the black sheep of the series.

pietro1212613d ago

I love them all, but Wind Walker, Link to the Past and Minish Cap are my favorites

John_McClane612d ago

Link to the Past was so, so good! Those chickens though! 🤣
