Ocarina of Time might not be the only Zelda game we see brought back to life on the 3DS. Nintendo talisman Shigeru Miyamoto has been thinking about bringing some older games to the handheld as well.
In an interview with GamesRadar, Zelda boss Eiji Aonuma said “Well actually, even Mr. Miyamoto himself has been talking recently about going back to the 2D Zelda games, in particular the ones that were designed with multiple levels to the world like A Link to the Past, and taking those 2D graphics and recreating them in 3D so that you could get a sense for the depth of those worlds.”
“That’s something that might be interesting to do, so I would say there might be a possibility of something like that in the future.”
Note he doesn’t mean recreate them entirely so they look like Ocarina or Wind Waker. He just means taking the 2D games and giving them a 3D effect. Which…might be cool, I guess, but how many times can people be expected to buy Link to the Past? SNES, Game Boy Advance, Virtual Console, there comes a time you’ve played a game enough, you know?
