Nintendo 3DS
NintendoWiki features a more in-depth article.
The Nintendo 3DS is the the current Nintendo handheld gaming console. Like the previous Nintendo DS consoles, the 3DS features dual LCD screens, with the lower screen being a stylus-operated touch screen. However, the system's selling point is the top screen, which can display stereoscopic 3D images and video via a process called autostereoscopy. The 3DS is also backwards compatible with Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi-enhanced software, as well as select DSiWare titles, in addition to the backlog of older games available on the Virtual Console service.
Zelda games developed exclusively for Nintendo 3DS
Ocarina of Time 3D
The Nintendo 3DS remake of the critically acclaimed Nintendo 64 Zelda game was released in June 2011: Japan's release date was June 16, 2011,[1] followed by the European release date on June 17, 2011 and finally released in the U.S. on June 19, 2011.[2] Compared to the original game, it features improved graphics, an improved item system, gyroscope controls, the inclusion of Ocarina of Time: Master Quest, and a new Boss Challenge mode.
A Link Between Worlds
An original Zelda game currently in development. Few details have been revealed, though Eiji Aonuma has stated that it will take elements from the console games rather than the previous handheld games, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.[3] On April 17th, 2013, it was officially announced that the game would serve as a sequel to Template:ALTTP with a similar style for Link and a similar Light/Dark overworld system. The game is notable for its non-linearity- through an item rental system that allows almost any dungeon to be played at any time- and introduction of an alternate world called "Lorule".
Virtual Console re-releases
Link's Awakening DX
It was announced at Nintendo's 2011 E3 Press Conference by Shigeru Miyamoto that Link's Awakening DX would become available that day, June 7th, 2011, for the Nintendo 3DS eShop. The price for the game is $5.99 in the United States, $9AU in Australia, and £5.40 in the United Kingdom.[4] Like other Virtual Console games on the 3DS, Link's Awakening DX supports the use of save states and custom borders.

A remake of Four Swords was made available as a free download for the Nintendo DSi, and by extension the Nintendo 3DS, between September 28, 2011 and February 20, 2012.[5][6] The game has since been removed from the Nintendo eShop and DSi Shop. Compared to the original game, it includes a new single-player mode in which the player controls two Links by swapping between them, and new dungeons that reference other games in the series.
The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link
The Legend of Zelda and its sequel, The Adventure of Link, were released as Virtual Console games for members of the Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors program on August 31, 2011, as a part of the 10 free NES titles given away to those who bought a Nintendo 3DS at its original price and registered as an Ambassador on the Nintendo eShop. The games have since become available for retail to non-Ambassadors, and save state support has been added.
The Minish Cap
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap was also released as part of the Ambassador Program, when Nintendo released the program's GBA titles in late December of 2011. There are currently no plans to release The Minish Cap for retail in the Nintendo eShop.
