More user-friendly Zelda on 3DS

zelda3ds1By user-friendly, it doesn't mean less challenging. Rather, it's just going to be more intuitive. This was the promise made by Nintendo's Bill Trinen on Zelda: Ocarina of Time being developed for the 3DS.

 

 

 

He said that a new inventory system should "provide the experience the way it should have been." Explained Trinen, "One of [series creator Eiji Aonuma's] long regrets was not necessarily the layout, or the puzzles, or the difficulty of the water temple but the fact that the water temple involved putting the iron boots on and off, taking them on, taking them off... to move up and down in the water.

 

 

To do that you had to press the start button, you'd have to switch over to your inventory screen, you'd have to scroll around to get down to your iron boots and then, of course, in between, you're switching out the iron boots with the hookshot and things like this." To remedy that problem for the 3DS version, a new touch-screen-based inventory system has been put in place.

 

 

"[Aonuma] feels he's finally able to provide the experience the way it should have been in the water temple... on the touch panel, you have access to your inventory, so instead of having to scroll down, to find all the different items you're going to have very simple and intuitive access to all the items and the equipment you're going to need."

 

 

And one last little thing: "I wouldn't anticipate any extra dungeons."

Just a small side-note: Aonuma is not the series creator, Miyamoto is ;-)

They must bring Zelda Twilight Princess to 3DS!

The Wii version is messed up, and newcomers aren't willing to spend so much money on the NGC original version just to play it.

pretty good reason if you ask me 8) hopefully they wont do something crazy like whistling or singing into a mic to "play" the ocarina. actually it could be funny once or twice... does the 3ds even have one? lol

I'll second that! I hate the mic stuff on the DS. If I was a kid maybe I wouldn't mind so much but being 35 and sitting in my favorite restaurant for lunch and blowing into my DS....not cool... :D

All the same, this change to the game sounds awesome!

A man looking for bitch fits. Totally incapable of any intelligent conversation....

Yep, that's ISOHaven!

And yes, he's 35, not 15 as it would seem.

Everyone around here knows what a sad story his life is.

You mean like the one you're starting right now? Smooth!

Did you have something to say about the subject matter of my post or the article? Or this nonsense all you got? If negative attention is all you're after then good luck, you wont find it here.

Finally, those stupid N64 menus have been fixed! After only 13 years.... Oh well. I haven't played Zelda OOT in a long time so it will be cool to re-experience in 3D.

Not related to topic, but why does this site have over 65,000 registered users but only a few dozen comment here regularly? Is it related to that ISOhaven troll's harassment of... well everyone?
