A Message From Aonuma Regarding Zelda A Link Between Worlds

zelda_link_shop_small

One more thing, new information about The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds was also revealed in this Nintendo Direct. We talked about how Link will be travelling between two worlds. And as you can see from the video, Link’s ability to transform into a drawing will play a huge role in the game. The presence of two worlds like light and dark have been a recurring theme in Zelda games in the past, and this time, a kingdom exists in the other world in the way Hyrule exists in the main world. The story will revolve around the events that will unfold in that kingdom, and I think you’ll have fun experiencing the game’s distinctive world that is like no other in the series.

I also have a screenshot to show you today. This shows the item shop that are common in Zelda games, and the character standing next to Link is looking very suspicious. We’ll be talking about this character at a later time, but for now take a closer look at the items that are on sale. There’s the bow and arrow, the boomerang and the hookshot that are all familiar to the series. If you noticed something strange with this picture, you’re quite the Zelda fanatic! That’s right, shops in the past Zelda games sold things that would run out once you use them like arrows and bombs, items that needed replenishing. They have never sold an item that doesn’t go away after each use like the boomerang or the hookshot. This shop is a very important place in this game, and we hope to talk more about it soon. Until then, I hope you’ll use your imagination wondering what this shop is all about.

Thanks, Jules3324

  1. This is more like a storage right? You’re only able to carry a certain amount of things and this is where you switch items. Kinda risky in Nintendo’s place and I hope I’m wrong with this assumption.

    1. The shop keeper looks like Nabbit from New Super Mario Bros U. That character steals your items. To me this place looks like it will be a black market shop similar to the Curiosity Shop in Majora’s Mask.

  2. Mini-Games. Pick your weapon for combat and maybe this theorized pre-mini-game room is somehow involved with the “multiple Links” thing that was mentioned before.

  3. For the love of god please don’t tell me your items break. I would much rather stick to the old formula of replenishing rather than this.

      I didn’t really mind shields breaking because mine never broke, it made logical sense, and I liked the upgrading concept. But if WEAPONS break I’m going to be severely disappointed :/

  4. I wonder if this “shop” is going to work like I think it will…..
    Finding a certain item, either in the overworld or in a dungeon, will allow you to trade said item at this shop for the corresponding piece of gear.

  5. Up side down black triforce….Demise had that on his sword…Termina had upside down triforces….Are they linked?

  6. So… Like twilight princess? (-ish?)

    I shouldn’t be surprised, but I getting more and more excited about this Zelda game.

    I think this Zelda has potential to shock is. I’m really happy about what I’m seeing.

  7. so link looks like a blacksmith, there seems to be some fairy or bug flaoting over link, the bunny looking thing is either nabbit or a previous incarnation of link similar to alttp or like twilight princess with the fallen hero. is that a music instrument on the left side maybe a piano (odd i know) the propeller could be interesting .

  8. “That’s right, shops in the past Zelda games sold things that would run out once you use them like arrows and bombs, items that needed replenishing. ”

    Link’s Awakening

  9. Is that a fairy flying next to Link? That’s something that A Link To The Past didn’t have (unless it’s slipped my mind).

    I loved the light and dark world concept of A Link To The Past. It’s one of many things that made that game so awesome. I’m glad to hear they’re returning in this game.

  10. looks cool, for me its gonna be March of War, Tengami and that RPG thingy they showed in the opening.. why the hell didn’t this get metioned in the US Direct?

  12. Dont be an internet retard

    I think I figured it out, remember when Links stuff got stolen (actually it was more then once) perhaps this “Nabbit” stole Links gear and is forcing him to re obtain them maybe for a price or trading like the Tokay segment from OoA
