Many apologies for the lack of updates, but quite frankly, we don’t like fluff, and there’s been no real news for any portable Legend of Zelda games. Until now. The biggest development we’ve seen for quite some time is finally here: More news, images and even some video footage of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D has been released.

First off, I’ll start with the video. For those of you who are too lazy to watch the whole lineup, the “Zelda” segment starts at about 2:31 into the video.

I’ve got to say that, although it’s great to have the footage, five seconds doesn’t really do the game justice. Oh, well. I’m sure we’ll start to see a lot more in the near future. My guess is that Ocarina of Time 3D will be a launch title for the Nintendo 3DS. You’ll also notice that there’s a few new screenshots, as well (four in all).

Finally, we have the Japanese release date for the Nintendo 3DS. It is currently set for February 26th, 2011. That’s really not too far away, and I suspect it’ll deploy stateside around that period. European releases are usually only a few weeks later than their American and Japanese counterparts, so it’ll probably be close together around the board.

*Thanks to Zelda Universe for the news updates!

After quite a few debates for the last 18 or so hours, we can finally announce that it’s official; There will be an Ocarina of Time remake for the 3DS. To the right, you’ll see the final image which we’ve uncovered (though none of these pics are really “special secrets” anymore). However, we must let some of the hopes dwindle a bit; It’s not confirmed that it will be the full version of “Ocarina of Time”. Nintendo is still playing around with it, and using it to test the functionality of the system.

According to Kotaku, Ocarina of Time 3D is “like a few other 3DS titles shown off so far is merely a tech demo for the new hardware”. However, it sound like the head honchos at the big “N” are so desiring to have this full game on the NIntendo 3DS, so maybe it will come true. You can view the official news on Nintendo’s E3 site. Once there, click on “Nintendo Titles”.

We hope that you’re still excited, as we sure are. Also, as a side-note, if Ocarina of Time does make it to the 3DS, we’ll be covering the game right here, at Zelda in my Pocket.

We want to be clear: We’re calling attention to the various rumors floating around; not endorsing them.

It would seem that we may be looking at an Ocarina of Time remake for the Nintendo 3DS. Supposedly, the link was placed on Nintendo’s E3 site (http://e3.nintendo.com) for a few images (shown below), as well as some Starfox images, which can still be found here, on the official site. About 20 minutes after our friends at 1up released the links for where the images were found, Nintendo took them down. Now, Nintendo’s always been good at keeping things quite, especially with the Zelda franchise. If these are legit (which is more than likely), they were intentionally leaked.

But never fear; the images were mostly claimed before they were taken down. As far as we know, we have all of them. If you know of more, pleast don’t hesitate to contact us! You can see the images below.

We hope you’re as excited about this possibility as we are! Keep in mind that the images could be fakes, but it’s not too likely. Also, if they’re reamaking Ocarina of Time, I would suppose you could count on Majora’s Mask receiving the same treatment!

Well, the live feed fell through, but we’ll be adding to this post as news comes in about Nintendo’s top products! Keep refreshing for updates!

• The New Zelda Title is to be named “The Skyward Sword”.
• The Game will largely focus on the Sword and Shield mechanics, using the Wii MotionPlus.
• The Items seen so far include, bombs, the slingshot, the bow and arrow,  the whip, and finally, a new item, the “Beetle”.
• Bombs can be placed, thrown and rolled.
• The “Beetle” can be thrown around and flown in order to pick up items, etc.
• The Whip can be used to cut grass and stun enemies. It’s movement is very dependent on the player’s motions.

The demo is going to be on the show floor, where E3 attendees can play it. The game won’t be released in America until next year.

Other Nintendo games that were mentioned are:

• Mario Sports Mix
• Wii Party
• Just Dance 2
• Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
• 007 Goldeneye
• Disney: Epic Mickey

The Nintendo 3DS was just announced. The system will be fully 3D, and will not require any glasses! It will also have both a motion sensor, as well as a gyro sensor. It’s also going to allow you to take 3D photos, and has two camera lenses on the outer shell, as opposed to the DSi’s one. It will have support for 3D movies. Hello, homebrew! Train your own Dragon, Disney’s Tangled, as well as a few other movies have officially been announced for the 3DS.

Kid Icarus: Uprising appears to be one of the games that will be released along with the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendogs will also be making an appearance.

Some of the companies that plan on releasing third party games for the 3DS are Activision, THQ, Square Enix, Capcom, Warner Bros, EA, SEGA, Namco, Konami and several more.

Just a quick reminder to all of you who haven’t been paying attention; E3 is coming in less than a week. As some of you may have heard, Nintendo will thankfully be streaming live coverage of the event, so that you can be the first to know (along with all of the other “first-to-knows”) about this year’s upcoming games. Although we decided that Zelda in my Pocket will not be attending by sending a representative, you can expect to see all sorts of immediate news updates, as well as the video stream (if possible) right here on our home page. That’s right… just keep on refreshing!

What we know so far is that Nintendo will be announcing quite a bit of information regarding Zelda Wii. It’s been stated that they’ll reveal the title, release date and other critical information. I expect to see a video, if not even a playable demo. Of course, that would be assuming that they’re as far along in development as rumor has, and as they claim.

We’ll also probably end up with a slew of info regarding the Nintendo 3DS, though we can’t be sure about that. And though it’s not too likely, let’s just say that I wouldn’t be shocked if we heard something about a new Zelda handheld, as well… You know; Nintendo always likes to release titles that they know will be popular along with a system release (i.e. Twilight Princess with the Wii, etc.).
