A look at a prototype version of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Early on in the development for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Nintendo came up with the idea of Link being able to enter walls. The thing is, there wasn’t really a set direction as to how the team could make this element enjoyable.
One of the game’s programmers showed interest in seeing how turning corners on the walls would affect things. This eventually led to a bare-bones prototype which was completed in about a day.
The prototype (pictured above, via Iwata Asks) ended up as a very different project compared to A Link Between Worlds’ final result. It featured an angled viewpoint rather than top-down perspective, not to mention a Toon Link character model.

Detune recently put up KORG M01D on the 3DS eShop. That’s not the only piece of software the company intends to bring to Nintendo’s portable.
Speaking with Nintendo Life, Detune’s Nobuyoshi Sano confirmed the existence of a brand new title, of which details are “top secret”. While Sano wouldn’t share any specifics, he did say that it has something to do with sound.
Sano commented:
Yes! We have yet to really get started, but yes we do have something planned! The details of the software are top secret, but I can say one thing — Detune will be making it, which means it will be something that has to do with sound. And we plan to make full use of the 3DS display! Stay tuned!
