It's kind of weird how they're specifically making this a sequel to A Link to the Past when all the Zelda games are already so similar. I guess they want to cash in on people's nostalgia as usual. :p
I hope this is the same size and has the same amount of exploration as the old 2D games. As much as I liked the DS games, I really missed having a proper overworld.
Edit: Oh, it has the same overworld as A Link to the Past? I guess this started out as a remake, then.
