More Zelda 3DS Details

The new 3DS Zelda game has stirred up quite a buzz, but limited details are making fans of the series go crazy wondering more about this new game in the series.  New details shown in this video by Nintendomination reveal a major change in the dungeon formula.  At least for this dungeon demoed anyway.  The dungeon is very linear, which is a little odd for the series that typically has you branching paths and trying to hunt down items.  Despite that the dungeon does have a decent ammount of length to it, but is far shorter than those found in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.  Will this be the new formula with this game?  All dungeons being straight forward and fairly short, or is this just a simple early on dungeon to help you get acquainted with the game?  Another thing to notice in the video is the controls.  A being Sword and X and Y being items.  So, this shows you can have 2 items equipped outside your sword which is a step up from the original A Link to the past only having 1, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask allowed for 3 and Twilight Princess allowed for 4, but 2 items seems like a good bet so you don't have to use the touch screen for an item slot.  The graphics also look very well polished and the sound track is classic A Link to the Past music.  This game could be the game in the series that everyone has been waiting on.  Could it finally topple Ocarina of Time as the most popular Zelda title?  Only time will tell.
