Does anyone know of any rumors (or confirmations) for a new Zelda game for the 3ds? It seems odd to me that the new Zeldas on the 3DS are all 2D (not talking about remakes and crossovers).

Well, two remakes, two spinoffs (if you count Triforce Heroes as a spinoff, which I would) and one main series game.I doubt that.. They released 5 zelda games...
It arguably plays like a 2D with everything except for the wall-merging.link between worlds is a 3D game... all graphics are 3D, the character moves in 3D space...
I agree 100%.Of those five, one sucked, one wasn't really a Zelda game, and two were remakes.
Honestly, though, I'm thrilled to have the remakes. Triforce Heroes and Hyrule Warriors Legends I can take or leave.

I would honestly love another Zelda game in the style of Link's Awakening or the Oracle games (wouldn't necessarily have to be pixel-style), but I know that's never going to happen.
ALBW is what's generally considered a 2.5D game. 3D graphics but plays more or less like a 2D game.link between worlds is a 3D game... all graphics are 3D, the character moves in 3D space...
Handhelds have never had full 3D Zelda games, those have always been on the home consoles, so I don't find it odd at all.Does anyone know of any rumors (or confirmations) for a new Zelda game for the 3ds?

Oh, I'm sure they do too. I'm talking about on the 3DS though.I am sure that Nintendo has a plans for the next portable video game and a new zelda game.
I thought it was pure 2D, I read that it's a sequel to A link to the Past.ALBW is what's generally considered a 2.5D game. 3D graphics but plays more or less like a 2D game.
Apart from the 3DS, Nintendo handhelds have never been capable of rendering a Zelda game in 3D.Handhelds have never had full 3D Zelda games, those have always been on the home consoles, so I don't find it odd at all.
The DS was. Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are rendered in 3D. It just seems like top-down suits handhelds better.Apart from the 3DS, Nintendo handhelds have never been capable of rendering a Zelda game in 3D.
They were only 2.5D. They had basic models (islands, ocean, link...) rendered in 3D to a framebuffer, with sprites rendered over that.The DS was. Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are rendered in 3D. It just seems like top-down suits handhelds better.

One of the leaked documents from new 3ds rumors said they'd remake wind waker and twilight princess for the new 3DS, but I figure we'd have heard something by now if it were true.
and to be honest, i still do not like any of the "3D" Zelda games, i just forced myself through OoT and abandoned MM after about two three-day-cycles. For me, zelda has to be top-down, that's when i like them. if that means i will be forced to hanheld zeldas, so be it. Nothing beats ALbW, Links awakening, ALttP, OoS/OoA and even minish cap and phantom hourglass (Still have to play Spirit Tracks).The DS was. Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are rendered in 3D.

Are you sure? It looked like 3D to meThey were only 2.5D. They had basic models (islands, ocean, link...) rendered in 3D to a framebuffer, with sprites rendered over that.
And the land when docked/parked was also 2D sprites made to look 3D
I'm the opposite, in fact the only top-down Zelda games I've beaten are Minish Cap (which was great) and Triforce Heroes. They just fail to get me hooked.and to be honest, i still do not like any of the "3D" Zelda games, i just forced myself through OoT and abandoned MM after about two three-day-cycles.

OoT was the first zelda game I played, and Windwaker the second, so to me, 2D Zelda just seems odd.and to be honest, i still do not like any of the "3D" Zelda games, i just forced myself through OoT and abandoned MM after about two three-day-cycles.
