Imagine, if you will, being sucked into a parallel universe in which the original Nintendo Entertainment System was exactly the same, but games like The Legend of Zelda were rendered in 3D. Don't know what I mean? Watch this clip.
3D Dot Game Heroes—a PS3 title that's already out in Japan and coming to North America in May—celebrates an 8-bit 3D aesthetic not unlike the strange alternate universe I described above. But on top of that, its built-in sprite editor allowed Game Informer's Tim Turi to take the game to its natural conclusion by skinning the game with Link and adding a remix of Zelda's score.
The effect? Well if you can articulate it more elegantly than my pseudo-Sliders explanation, go ahead. [Game Informer via Joystiq]

how the hell have they got the depth of field so perfect? puts Little big planet 3-D to shame.
I would definitely revisit this version.

Definitely cool! Legend of Zelda is definitely one of the best games ever in history, even if not 3d. Guilty of many sleepless hours.
Would really be a cool 3d-"revisit". I'm looking forward to this!

Hopefully Nintendo is planning a real 3D Zelda on their 3DS.
