Zelda Link to the Past 2 Will Feature Dark World

In an interview with Cnet, Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has said that like the 1992 original, this year's sequel to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past will feature a Dark World.

In the original LTTP, the Dark World was a twisted version of the Sacred Realm, the plane in which the power of the Triforce had locked Ganondorf away. Portals were hidden here and there in Hyrule, under rocks and in secret places. People take on a physical form that reflects their true selves in the Dark World - unless Link was in possession of Moon Pearl, he memorably transformed into a pink bunny when he entered it.

There's a lot more that could be done with the Dark World in a sequel. Another information-nugget from the interview reveals the thinking behind Link's new ability to become a drawing and walk across walls (it was inspired by Ocarina of Time's Forest Temple boss, in which Ganon rode in and out of paintings).

Announced a few weeks ago, Link to the Past 2 (whatever it will be called) will be out before the end of the year.
