The folks over at the Official Nintendo Magazine has played through the first 4 hours of A Link Between Worlds, and thanks to them we have some new information about Link’s upcoming adventure.
At the beginning of the game Link is tasked with delivering a sword to the palace guard’s captain. At this time Yuga is up to no good. While it is not perfectly clear at this moment, Yuga seems to have some connection to Ganon. Yuga is trying to gather the 7 sages to free Ganon. This process begins when she turns Ceres, one of the sages, into a painting.
Making a return to the series are potions. In A Link Between Worlds potions are made by witches, but only if you acquire the right ingredients. Enemies will drop some of these items, including Monster Guts, and more.
At the beginning of the game you will only be able to equip one item, assigned to the Y button. Once finding the Pouch item you will be able to assign an item to the X button as well.
Link will also find a new item called Hint Glasses. This new item allows Link to see ghosts which provides him with hints. However these hints are not free. The ghosts will charge Link for their helpful tips.
Lastly, Link will acquire the Bow and the ability to turn into paintings early on in the game.
