 In January 2012 , as the game has surpassed 450 @,@ 000 units sold , McMillen stated that he was approached by a publisher that had interest in bringing the title to the Nintendo 3DS as a downloadable title through the Nintendo eShop , though McMillen had reservations given Nintendo 's reputation for less risque content . In late February , McMillen stated that Nintendo had rejected the game because of " questionable religious content " . He believed this stemmed from Germany 's classification board rating the existing Windows version of the game as " age 16 + " due to potentially blasphemous content , the first such time a game was rated in that manner in the country . McMillen noted that Nintendo executives he spoke to before this decision had noted some blasphemous content would have been acceptable , and were more concerned with overtly religious content . He also noted that he was approached about his willingness to make some changes to the game to make it more suitable for the 3DS , but never was given a list of specific changes . McMillen speculated that Nintendo was worried about its reputation ; because of the game 's resemblance to Zelda , an unknowing child may download the title and be shocked by what they see , which would have reflected poorly on Nintendo .
