Nintendo Direct: “Players can decide how to progress through the story” in ALBW, new dungeon and gameplay revealed

A Link Between Worlds - New Dungeon

During today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast, a new dungeon was revealed for A Link Between Worlds with strong shades of green. There are turbines and wind inside which possibly suggest that this a Wind (or maybe Earth) temple, or something similar. Perhaps most interestingly, however, Iwata says that:

“From a certain point in this new title, the order you approach each dungeon, and the way you do so, is up to you. So, to a large degree, the player can decide how to progress through the story.”

Here are some items spotted during the footage:

  • Link uses his bow to hit a switch;
  • Link uses a Hookshot to travel across cliffs;
  • Link has flippers which allow him to dive underwater.

You can see the footage for yourself below; the A Link Between Worlds announcements begin at 24:53. You’ll also find a handful of screenshots from the footage.
