Nintendo’s forthcoming 3DS sequel to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past may be one of the smoothest-running game to ever grace the handheld – at least as far as its performance in 3D mode is concerned – due to its ability to run at 60 frames-per-second with 3D switched on, Zelda series veteran Eiji Aonuma told EDGE.
“The game runs at 60fps, while all the 3D games up till now have run at 30fps,” Aonuma said. “The faster the framerate, the more stable the 3D effect, so 60fps is a big deal.” Aonuma also mentioned that the game will not take advantage of the 3DS’ gyroscopic capabilities, as requiring the player to tilt the 3DS could break the screen’s required viewing angle.
