The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is the first Zelda game made exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. It is an indirect sequel to A Link to the Past with the same version of Hyrule but with new characters and gameplay elements. Unlike the series' tradition, many areas of the world are accessible from the beginning of the game and the dungeons can be visited in any order. Puzzles are encountered not only in dungeons but also in the open world, a part of them revolves around the game's 3D visual effect. The 3DS touch-screen display shows the world, dungeon or map depending on where you are.

Description
About This Game
Two worlds collide in an all-new adventure set in the world of Super
NES™ classic The Legend of Zelda™: A Link to the Past™. In this newly
spun tale, Link™ transforms into a living painting to cross into a dark,
parallel dimension mirroring Hyrule. Conquer the puzzles, traps, and
hidden rooms of deadly dungeons to save both worlds from certain doom!
Brought to life in 3D, this beloved, top-down world is the perfect
backdrop for a sweeping new tale. Dungeons sink deep below the screen as
Link and his attacks pop out, highlighting the nonstop action. The pace
is faster than ever, especially since you can swap items on the Nintendo
3DS touch screen. Shoot an arrow, toss a boomerang, bomb a wall, then
merge into a painting to slide between two worlds - all in a matter of
seconds. With gameplay, visuals, and controls this smooth and
consistent, no Zelda™ adventure has ever been so action-packed.
An all-new adventure in the deadly, beautiful world of The Legend of
