listen to the mad man
He's mentioned it many times before in interviews with a variety of sources. Here's him on Jimmy Fallon two years ago with a pretty convincing sounding personal story about it.
Yup, but not everyone.
Nintendo is too smart, they will release Alttp to the VC just months before the release of alttp2 so people can get the game for the hype, while it's almost money they receive for a game already made lol.

They will release a LTTP 3D CLassic. Believe!
They're not strongly rooted in it at all. Twilight Princess had none of them.
Well dang. I guess I should have checked that picture more thorughly lol. I coudl have sworn i didn't see anything.
Ill have to look into him. Ive been looking for a good webcomic
And it's one of the worst Zeldas, but there were references to tingle in there.
No it isn't.
Ah, thanks for this
I'm fairly optimistic about this game vs. the NSMB series. The NSMB struck me as soulless back on the DS, in large part because it was using the stock render of Mario seen in all of the CGI for the spinoffs, etc. Zelda 3DS, if nothing else, at least has an all-original look for Link, etc, and the environment, while based on ALttP, feels fresh in polygonal graphics and autostereoscopic 3D. Not to mention that the focus on polygonal/autostereoscopic 3D is making for fundamentally different puzzles that better utilize height and depth, and there's the whole viewpoint-switching dynamic thanks to the wall-painting mechanic. All of this should make for a unique experience, even before they factor in the narrative.
Wait am I missing something? Or are you saying it's inevitable that there will be another 3DS Zelda?
If they make a proper original 3D world similar to OOT/MM after LTTP2 then everyone will be satisfied, the best of both worlds. Perfection achieved.
I'm not sure why this is a point when one of the biggest factors people attribute to that is that it relies too much on legacy.

doesn't Reggie have like hundreds of hours in DQ9
I think exactly the opposite, it's too much of a standalone Zelda, while recycling ideas already used.

I just checked. No.
That looks so... damn... smooth. Also, buttons-controls and map on lower screen confirmed, if anyone still doubted that. I'm so happy. Can't wait.

Are there really entirely separate teams though? Didn't most of the Spirit Tracks design staff work on Skyward Sword too?
The main differentiator are the core teams behind the projects. As management has explained, the basis of these projects are small core teams developing them. Then once they get a green-light, a general production staff circles them and puts the project into main production. Technically staff will overlap, between games and even different EAD groups. But usually the core leads are unique.
Often cool ideas and mechanics become "stuffed" as mini-games or concepts into Mario, Zelda, Wii Play etc. Before they would try to design unique characters with them, I don't think they bother anymore. They know what Miyamoto is going to do.
Ehhh, I've got no problems with it. Twilight Princess was an incredible game up until the mirror fetch started. Just fell over itself with some pretty bad dungeon design at that point.

Because it's a work in progress? It's simply called "The Legend of Zelda" in EU/NA. No doubt it'll be "The Legend of Zelda: Mystical Object of a Particular Noun", as if a title ever meant anything.

It's not going to be called ALttP 2. Bill Trinnen confirmed that the game doesn't have an official subtitle yet in the Sessler interview that was posted.

Great interview. Always liked Trinen.
Man this new drawing mechanic looks like it is going to create a lot of secrets and possibly make it harder. I like it.
I was responding to the guy saying it should be called a link to the past 2. I should really learn to quote every time.
Good to hear it won't have such a lazy name.

Agreed, but he doesn't have the reaction shots we need to make him the new improved Reggie.

None of them were in the original, so I don't expect them to be there at all.
LttP is a SNES title, a console that hasn't been ported to the 3DS VC yet. I suppose they could do a VC of the GBA version, but GBA games were only released to Ambassador 3DSs, and Nintendo didn't seem too keen on porting GBA games in the future (yes, I know, they hate money).

The interview with Trinen said that the new 2d art move will unlock whole new sections of the overworld and change how you explore the existing overworld as well. So there will definitely be more at least.
(edit) Zeroth: You know there is a Wii U right? Also the Wii version is out and they could easily do a club nintendo special for it as well.
Sweet. I haven't checked out the interview so I missed this piece of information. I still would like to see some of the towns and areas altered a bit due to time, if it takes place at a different time.
Why should any of those appear in the game when ALttP already has the best supporting character in the whole series?
They better give Maple something to do in this game other than shopkeeping. She was awesome in the Oracle games.
It would be interesting if they dump the dark world... and instead have an oracle of ages mechanic where you go back in time wherever you want and freely. Perhaps at the end you have to trigger links past quest by killing his uncle?
Why would you do that?

At the end of the interview in the video, it mentions hands-on impressions of the Zelda game, but I can't click the link on my phone. Is there a link to it?
Not yet.
Didn't noticed that maple was the shopkeeper :CWhy should any of those appear in the game when ALttP already has the best supporting character in the whole series?

That's why I'm curious, will they use the characters from modern Zelda, or make it a sequel with no cutscenes, no rich mythology, etc. I doubt this game won't have the nowadays mythology inserted in it in some way.
I love how some people think that everyone should love every new Zelda released... people have different opinions? Holy shit, who would've thought?
Lot's of people don't like the new cheap/plastic artstyle. Will this ruin the game? I doubt it. It does looks fugly, don't matter if you're looking at 3DS or not.

I think it'll get it's own unique subtitle soon enough. Link to the Past 2 is silly. As you mentioned, besides Zelda II, a direct sequel has never been numbered. Don't see why they'd start now.

damn, I want this game so much...
since yesterday, every time I'm plying with my 3ds I'm like "why I'm not playing zelda?"
I know what you mean. Having a trailer on there loaded up is almost cruel. I'm so glad this is coming out in 8 months, the last 3DS game I wanted this much was Animal Crossing, that was announced 3 years ago and I still don't have it in my mitts...
But when people are complaining it looks jaggy blown up on a PC monitor, they really, really are wrong though.

somewhere a guy still desperately holding onto his 20 page thesis that Four Swords Adventures is a direct sequel to LttP (despite what those hacks at Nintendo say with their "official" timeline) is howling in despair
I'm just saying that a lot of their recent games seem to share coherent art styles, or at least they have certain prominent visual characteristics in common.
You're free to disagree, but it's what my eyes tell me.
