For all intents and purposes, the new Zelda game for 3DS is A Link to the Past 2. Nintendo of Japan more or less called the project by this name during the Japanese Nintendo Direct broadcast today.
Nintendo is being slightly more nebulous about its title overseas. While the company has acknowledged that the new game takes place in the Link to the Past world, they’re not calling it A Link to the Past 2 just yet. The final title for North America is still under consideration, according to Nintendo of America’s Bill Trinen.
He told Joystiq:
“There is a ‘2’ in the Japanese title. So, yeah, I think as I described today, it’s an all-new game, it is an all-new story. From a story perspective there are connections, so it does fall after A Link to the Past. And it’s set in the same world, but introduces that new gameplay mechanic. So, yeah, I guess by that definition …”
