Obvious Improvements to Zelda games
-Advantages of a 3DS port would include being able to clear up the bottom of the screen of that prominent clock timer by displaying it on the touchscreen. The 3D would be very useful for the battle with Twinmold where perspective is often difficult to measure. Lastly, the three transformation masks could be mapped in a triangular pattern that even shuffles to promote the last used/or in use like a clock gear, ala the way that masks were originally integrated into the large clocktower clock in the MM beta. Another pro would be the ability to browse the bomber's notebook and make notes.
 * Majora's Mask

-There is no lock-on function despite Link being able to detect the locations of items and enemies. If Nintendo had applied a lock-on to the lefshoulder button and an optional trigger to the right for items it would have imensely improved the game (vice versa for lefty)Unfortunately, Nintendo didn't think we had pinkies or other fingers let alone an entire FREE HAND to utilize buttons. Ideally the optional trigger would also be used to map items to, sans perhaps the sword. The directional advantage being necessary for Spirit Tracks' final battle.

Ancient Stone Tablet's Relation to Link's Awakening
It is mentioned in the game text that Link has been absent from Hyrule for some time. Considering that Ancient Stone Tablets was a sequel of sorts to A Link to the Past, fans have used this as evidence proving that Link's Awakening is placed after A Link to the Past in the Zelda Timeline. While this may have been true for its time, Link's Awakening has since been confirmed to take place after the Oracle series according to the official timeline in the artbook Hyrule Historia. Sahasrahla and Zelda find themselves in need of a new hero, after their AlttP ally had left Hyrule on a journey of enlightenment, to gain the wisdom that would temper him to withstand the next threat to his homeland. There is also one line of dialogue specifically referencing the hero being unable to leave the "dream". Given that the time passed between ALttP and LA is unknown beyond the "months of travel" it can be deduced that Link's Awakening takes place 6 years after. This is consistent with his much older appearance in the official artwork by Katsuya Terada. If Link is assumed to be 16 in ALttP, that would make him 22 in LA.

FUN FACTS

 * Link's triple combo quickspin was included in the game code for Ocarina of Time. However his animation is a few frames too long to connect.
 * Bombs are optional to beating Spirit Tracks.
 * In Skyward Sword Link can perform a high backflip after dropping and taking back a bomb. Doing this from the broken pillar in the Fire Sanctuary will allow Link to land upon the edge of the Leap of Faith reminiscence of the Death Mountain Crater in OoT.
