Nintendo developers are working on a new game set in the world of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, which launched for Super NES in 1992. The game makes use of the 3D abilities of Nintendo 3DS, and allows Link to become a drawing and move along walls. A 3D video of the new game is now available to download in the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS.

While that's cool and all, shouldn't Zelda be kind of off topic as it's not an RPG?

Sorry, I thought it was an RPG...

Nah, Zelda's just an action adventure game. It's missing a lot of key elements like leveling up and having stats.

Here's a fairly simple explanation:

Okay, thanks Grungie.

Why u not knowing this admin, simple knowledge it is

• The second Legend of Zelda had leveling up and incorporated the random encounters too.
  
• I am in the understanding that lately nintendo has been trying to mold Link more like a warrior so the Magic has been minimized and more emphasis has been put into his sword and shield.
  

I am not saying this to argue if Zelda is an RPG, I agree with you guys. it simply is not. The elements it borrow are far in between like to be considered one but because they are present this kind of confusion is a bit more common than what we'd like to think.

Now, into the thread itself I am quite excited about this new title. I feel it is close to what I was hoping we could get. A new adventure that at the same time nods to a retro classic 9or two if the no order dungeons idea comes from the first title).

Thanks for sharing
