Nintendo Working on a 3DS Original Zelda Game

[Tetra]

Nintendo is currently working on an original Legend of Zelda game for the 3DS. The new Zelda will not be a sequel or remake. This information comes out of an interview in which Zelda director and producer Eiji Aonuma discussed the possibility of remaking Majora’s Mask on the 3DS. Aonuma said that while they are considering remaking Majora's Mask on the 3DS, they don’t want to release another remake so soon after Ocarina of Time, so the next Zelda game for the 3DS will be an original.

Since the new Zelda game will not be a sequel, this most likely means there will be a new timeline.

Here’s what Aonuma had to say in a recent interview:

"It's something I'm asked about often and I assure you that it is something I've spoken to Miyamoto about. But recently we released The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D as a remake. We are considering the idea, but it didn't seem right to launch a remake one after another, so the next Zelda game on 3DS will be original."

Hopefully Nintendo has something good for the 3DS's future with this, besides just Nintendo64 remakes.

Yes! A new Zelda game! In 3D! This will be awesome!
Also, instead of making a squeal of Majora's Mask (I think it's too hard and boring) they should just make Skyward Sword on the 3DS! Because of all it's 10/10 ratings, it deserves to be in 3D on a other console then just a Wii!

[kawaii]

awesome, i cant wait to hear more about it!

[Potema]

If they should remake anything, it should be Majora's Mask. But I wonder if the new series will look more like regular Link or toon Link? It better be toon Link >=[

I heard about this in september in gameinformer.

i don't mind remakes! Majora's mask sounds great! But a new legend of zelda! An original! OMG! I Can't wait! The new one should have a blend of old zelda's and new zelda's! They should totally add a female final boss!

3D on the 3ds is fake... phony!!!!!

[Djinnception]

I'll stick with my original statement on this subject. Majora's Mask is the only Zelda game i have refused to play due to it's length and difficulty. They need to remake Minish Cap for the 3DS. THAT game was FUN.

I won't comment on this...

I already knew about this, Wario already started a thread on this a day ago.
Still, I'm excited for a Zelda game on the 3ds that isn't a remake.
I hope it won't be TOTALLY different from all the other Zelda games, I like that sense of knowing just a bit.
