The legend of the legendary hero's battles against Ganon has been passed down from generation to generation, and peace has ruled for decades. The events of A Link Between Worlds take place six generations after the events of A Link to the Past. Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.Ī depiction of the war over the Triforce from the prologue This Shadow Link, controlled by the CPU, can be fought and defeated to earn a bounty of Rupees determined by their items and stats, and complete certain Challenges, such as defeating a Shadow Link with a specific item, or winning without sustaining damage. When another person's StreetPass profile is detected by a 3DS console, it appears in their game as a Shadow Link.
A profile may be created for each user, drawing its statistics such as Heart Containers and items from the player's inventory. The game also re-introduces a level of non-linearity not seen since the original The Legend of Zelda after a certain point has been reached, dungeons may be completed in any order, provided that Link rent or purchase the item required to enter the dungeon itself, which is also bound to require usage of said item to complete.Īs a 3DS title, the game also makes use of StreetPass. Merging is required in order to travel between Hyrule and Lorule, Hyrule's dark counterpart world, a game mechanic very similar to the Dark World from A Link to the Past indeed, Lorule is itself largely similar to the Dark World, with the same or similar enemies, locations, etc. Performing this action continually depletes the Energy Gauge for as long as Link remains in this state. This allows him to move along walls to reach areas he would otherwise not have access to. As a trade-off, items such as the bow and bombs can be used indefinitely without gathering more ammunition.Īnother new gameplay innovation is " merging", which allows Link to flatten himself against walls, essentially rendering him a two-dimensional character.
Each action depletes a certain amount of energy from the gauge, and depleted energy requires a period of inactivity to recharge.
Usage of most items is no longer unlimited they are tied to the Energy Gauge, which appears as a purple meter in the interface, sharing similarities with the Magic Meter and the Stamina Gauge from earlier titles.
