New Legend of Zelda for 3DS, first screens

There's a brand new Legend of Zelda title coming to 3DS later this year, Nintendo has announced.

The new, currently un-subtitled game is set in the Link to the Past time frame, and like the SNES title plays with a classic top-down view on the action. The company stated that the 3D would be used to judge vertical jumps as new dungeons would be multi-layered.

it's the same time frame, but it's an all-new story, as well as new dungeons and threats. Link's somehow learnt a new skill, being able to turn 2d and stick to walls to navigate otherwise impossible routes, during which the camera switches from overhead to a closer side view.

It's definitely a surprise. Check out the first screens below, and we'll have a trailer along shortly.
