The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 3D remake wanted by Zelda series director

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for GBA (DS)Eiji Aonuma, the designer/director on the recent Zelda games, was interviewed in the latest issue of the UK’s Official Nintendo Magazine. In the interview he made the following interesting quote:

“Ocarina of Time was the first title I worked on, and I was continuously tackling challenges every day during its development, so I think this is the title I feel I impacted the most. I believe that experience made me what I am now. I always think about what we couldn’t do and what didn’t work well in the previous game when we start a new title, but there’s no game that I would want to actually change as such. I have to say though, the first Zelda game that I played and felt potential in was Link to the Past. I’m actually very interested in what it would be like if we remade that title as a 3D game“.

Mr. Aonuma also states that he’s constantly thinking about what can be done in the next Zelda title that will surprise gamers. As far as graphics go, he can’t really say what approach the team will take. It depends on what visual style will best work with the story and gameplay. He says that the next Zelda could even end up with a graphical style that we didn’t even think of yet. — Transcribed by Gonintendo
