Miyamoto Eager To Make New Zelda Title Inspired By Link To The Past

Posted on Thursday, April 12 @ 12:35:38 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

A Link to the Past is believed by many to be the best Zelda title of all time, and while all of you are wrong for feeling this way (Ocarina of Time takes the cake hands down!) Miyamoto wishes to do the SNES classic right by creating a completely original experience that is somehow tied to the game.

Speaking to Edge in a recent interview, Miyamoto shared his thoughts on what the future may hold for Zelda fans, as a new game inspired by the 2D classic is close to the top of his to do list. When asked about the possibility of porting A Link to the Past to the 3DS, Miyamoto responded by saying, "I think I'd be even more interested in creating something new maybe based on, or starting from, A Link to the Past. I think it's important to bring some really new software." 

No arguments there big guy. New and original software is the name of the game, and I believe I speak for the entire Nintendo fan-base when I say that a completely new Link to the Past inpired title would be absolutely amazing.

Mr. Miyamoto, we're holding you to this one.

    Yes, and if done right people might even dig those Snes graphics.

    And Majora's Mask is sublime, why people don't consider it the best Zelda together with Ocarina is beyond me.

    Majora's Mask is too different. It was a shock to the system back when it came out, because of its fundamental differences from the formula. Personally, I think it's really great precisely because of those differences, but not everyone is going to see it that way.

    For me, Majora's Mask is definitely a close second.

    Loved that game.

    The problem I had with Majora's mask was that it removed the sense of accomplishment that accompanied Ocarina when you did something. Go to Lon Lon Ranch and save Epona/Malon? Yay! Ranch is happy again! Finish the Water temple? Yay! Water in lake Hyrule! Visited Zora's domain? Tough cookies, it's frozen and it's staying that way. (tried so many things to fix that)

    But in Majoras mask, as interesting as the concept was, once you saved the day in one of the various locations around the world, it didn't matter, it was all going to be reset shortly. That kind of thing makes it really hard to get into the world, as interesting as it may have been.

    Additionally, the fact that the game was essentially on a timer at all times was also rather frustrating. I think it was a neat idea, but in practice it just puts you in a position where you are always anxious that you're not moving fast enough... I like to stop and smell the roses, or roll around aimlessly and stumble upon stuff. But when you have a timer, you don't feel like you have that luxury anymore.

    Anyways, those are my reasons for not enjoying Majora's Mask. Not saying it's a bad game per-se, but I am saying it added a lot of "interesting" ideas that had the unfortunate side effect of interfering with some people's enjoyment.

    I'm apparently one of the minority who loves Zelda games, but fvcking hates Ocarina. LttP is one of the only games I've ever played through more times than I can count. I could never even push myself to finish Ocarina.

    I'd buy a 3DS just for a successor to LttP.

    I love Link to the Past. I'm sure people will agree (and I've been say this for a while) Ocarina of Time is basically Link to the Past, but in 3D. I still play Link to the Past, but on an emulator. *Sighs* It's not the same blowing in the cartridge.

    Please, oh, please God... let Mr. Miyamoto live to be 100 years old... (on the condition that he keeps giving birth to Zelda babies).
