The Legend of Zelda: Kamigami no Triforce 2 - A Link To The Past 2?

[The Milkman]

It's rare that Nintendo console gets more than two original Zelda titles. Look at the Gamecube: you can play so many Zelda games on that via various promo discs and such, yet it still got Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. The Wii had eshop Zelda titles, but still got Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Check out the GBA: you had The Minish Cap, as well as A Link to the Past + Four Swords, plus connectivity to Four Swords Adventure and Wind Waker on the Gamecube. I'm pretty sure they did an NES classic of the first Legend of Zelda game on the GBA as well. Nintendo is very capable of doing multiple releases on the same system. You'll just never see more than two original titles. As of now, the Ocarina of Time remake was done by a third party, and it was still Ocarina of Time. Essentially, it isn't going to count towards the potentially two original Zelda titles for the 3DS. The same goes for Majora's Mask if they ever decide to remake that one.

So no worries. They aren't burning the bridge to greatness by putting this out there. We still have a chance to see a truly top of the line Zelda title on the 3DS in the future.

I would rather have two then one

What Sorry, No I mean I'm not big on handhelds.haha
But it won't stop me from enjoying the game.

I think he was trying to make a Nintendoom joke.

Here is me hoping for a e-shop release so I can play it day one.

November 8, huh? Sounds about right. November is basically Zelda Release Month.

I can speedrun it at around an hour without cheats

really? I mean, I am fast (I 100%ed metroid prime 1 on wii without cheats or glitches - that means just regular play - in 4 and a half hours) but I am not THAT fast.
I'd have to try but I suppose I would at least need 5-8 hours?

 

[chavosaur]

Fastest recorded speed run without cheats of ALTTP is about an hour and a half so It's doable
Hopefully this game can't be completed nearly as fast.
I'm also hoping they out a lot of Easter eggs and hidden stuff in this like they did with the original ALTTP.

Link definitely looks what a portable Link should look like. People, mostly those who grew up with the N64 Zelda's, are complaining about the cartoony looks and other minor things like body proportions as their main reason not to get this saying that it doesn't look like Zelda at all.

What people fail to see here is that every 2D Zelda Link design have been cartoony, Link is supposed to have a big head in order for us to see his face, just like any good looking top down view game ever, DQ, Pokémon... I mean just look at the original Link to the Past sprite, Link's head takes up half of his body! His model in LttP2 is made to take up the space of one tile because that's how it's always been, he's short and chubby in game for gameplay and visibility reasons. Link has the yellow band around his hat and everything in this, how can people say that this isn't Link?

Spoiler

BTW in an interview with Bill Trinen he said that the overworld will play differently, mechanics like the wall ability will be used in the overworld too. He mentions how the overworld paths and obstacles will make you think in different ways. So no more worries to those who thought that the overworld was going to be played out exactly like in the first game. It's going to be a different experience.

Hope they call it LttP2 in NA/EU to avoid confusion, it already has 2 in the title in Japan.

I'd assume they'll call it something different here like they did with Luigis mansion: Dark Moon.
This way people won't thing they're missing out on a game series and won't feel like they need to play the previous game in order to play this one.

Half the boxart would be the title... Even if it was abbreviated it'd be
TLOZ:ALTTP:TP:TFS

It's how Zelda games tend to run as it is.

The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past: The Prequel: The First Story

Zelda: A Link to the Past Dimensions
has a good ring
due to the fact link can change from 2D to 3D
and would explain why it's the same island but a different dungeon dimensional plane

how good would it be if they added the original game into the ROM also
complete the game and get access to a VC one built in

Despite all this argument in the comments, I'm viably jizzing right now.

I was hoping for that as well, or perhaps they offer a VC download of it as a pre-order bonus, like Kid Icarus Uprising did with its 3D classic.
Adding it to the VC could bring the incentive to add other SNES games as well

That could end up being a minor problem, if it doesn't have 2 in the title some people will think it's a remake, but as you said, if it has a 2 in the title they'll think you need to play the first game in order to enjoy this.

Now, my only concern I have with this title is, will there be completely new music?
The production value of the music in the trailer is great and all, but I don't want there only to be remixes. The soundtrack to LttP is fantastic and but I want new freshly composed tracks. To be honest LttP lacked when it comes to the numbers of tracks in the game. Dungeons could have used more varied music and places like the desert area could have used different music too for example.

Can't wait to see what the new multiplayer features will be like... please be worldwide...
