The stamina/magic bar was depleted when arrows were fired in another trailer.

That doesn't necessarily mean the two are one and the same. Arrow count could be on the bottom and shooting arrows may just delete stamina at the same time.

NintendoLife has some impressions up from the game.
Care to elaborate?
IGN has posted their first impressions video.
Link has the Master Sword in this one, so Ganon is most likely back. His generals tried to bring him back in the Oracle games.

Hopefully, you can upgrade your stamina meter in this game. That was missing from SS. Hmmmmmmm....
Gotta say that after much back and forth, I'm really excited about this game, dudes! This is the first 2D Zelda in almost a decade! I just hope ALttP 2 keeps the arcade-y style of ALttP for the SNES, but it already seems to be more puzzle-focused. I liked how ALttP had little focus on puzzles, and the dungeons were mostly endurance runs throw rooms of enemies. The dungeons were more maze-like and since there was hardly a focus on puzzles to slow the pace down, ALttP has probably the highest replay value in the series.

A Link to the Past is one of my favorite games of all time.
This 3D game will be definitely not, and this picture below is the reason why....

And the shield? No info on the shield.
I got to play the game today at Nintendo in Frankfurt. The video shows the complete demo. Sorry about the missing sound!

Same, DS Zelda game were awful to play, and your hands start to hurt after 15 min. everytime.

Im doubtful. I think this will be the original Zelda title for 3DS with MM remake hitting in 2015. I can't think of any system that had 4 Zelda titles released for it and they will likely want to put all their efforts behind Zelda Wii U.
Definitely is adorable.
The transition to "3D" doesn't look assmooth good as the transition to the drawing form.

I can't be the only one who thinks new old Link is adorable right?
Have to step out for some errands but I can't wait to dig into the previews when I get back ^^
Reminds me of OOT3D's Link design.
How does the shield work?
Nintendo World Report has impressions up (with a video, too!)

Oh cool. The animation when Link uses the hammer is neat.

Here's another take on the demo, reaching the boss fight in five minutes:

Pardon the non-linear presentation. Nintendo America asked not have any clips longer than 30 seconds.

is it weird that the first thing i noticed was that it just shows you the whole message box instead of having any text scroll

Can anyone confirm if it's 30 or 60FPS ?

Yes, how does it work? Is it automatic or do you have to press a button?

Thanks! Damn it looks smooth.
I just realized, ALTTP allowed you to complete dungeons in any order, and this is a sequel to ALTTP, sooooo............
Most likely pressing either L or R.

In OoT, when link is sent back to his childhood , he warns zelda about ganondorf which leads to him being sentenced to execution.
The sages try to exectue him but it turns out that ganondorf is too powerful (something, something demise) for them to kill and he ends up killing one of them himself, at which point they seal him in the twilight realm out of desperation.
He seduces Zant, pretending to be a god or something and facilitates his escape from the twilight realm after which link kills him.
This is pretty much all explained in the game unlike most things so it's laid out pretty flat for you.
Also after being sent back in time, link dies in regret of the fact that he was never remembered as a hero and you get the undead guy that teaches you sword moves.
That's probably the coolest part about TP's connection to OoT, nintendo really don't like the hero of time link.
I love how both of these guys got the small key in that room in 2 different ways.
That would make too much sense.

Those impressions are giving me a hype boner -_- and I hate when people refer to them as such... but what else can be said?

Classic, 2D Zelda. Glad to have you back!

So much layer and depth in the dungeon. Moreso than I've seen a Zelda game in awhile.

Yeah, it looks fun. This seems like a no bullshit game. It's all about the gameplay, and I respect that. I'm actually hoping for as little of story as possible.

And no Navi, or Fii, or Tatl, or Midna in sight. Soooo nice.
Wow, it looks fantastic. Very, very smooth.
Oh MAN. I seriously want to play this in 3D. Goddamn that's going to look awesome. 3D Land's 5-2 on steroids.
The dungeon design is excellent. I like how you find a 5-rupee chest early, so that it's more rewarding when you find the 100-rupee chest later.
Yep, that's why it probably won't be on the eShop.
Nitpicking about graphical details is pretty pointless, because the graphics are lightly to be polished a lot more before release.

No, I saw that, too. I'm really pleased that the game moves so fluidly already and they don't waste time with text scroll about "You can only use this key in this particular dungeon." It's about time.
