While the game does in fact take place in the same world as LttP, it is in fact a new game. There are new areas to explore, new dungeons, a new story, and many new features as well! While some of the old tools will in fact be returning, quite a few new abilities will be featured, and thanks to the 3D effect, the development team was able to add layers to the world as well. This time around dungeons build upwards towards the sky, and that alone adds a whole new level to the gameplay (in more way than one).
On top of that, a brand new ability has been added in as well. This time around Link will be able to transform himself into a 2D drawing, and walk along the walls! This allows Link to reach areas that would normally be off limits, and it adds a whole new level to puzzle solving.
Really, everything about this new Zelda game is just something you need to see for yourself; so why not check it out? If you have a Nintendo 3DS, right now you can open up the eShop and actually watch the game's trailer in 3D! I strongly recommend checking it out as soon as possible since 2D images really doesn't do this game justice!
If you're a fan of Link to the Past, well, it looks like the game you've been waiting for is finally here! It's been a long wait, but I'm sure it was well worth it!
