Is Nintendo Going All Out With the Rumored Zelda Remake for Switch?

"In recent years, many game developers have gotten frowned upon due to the amount of HD remakes hitting the market, and to a degree, HD remakes are still a little out of hand. However, The Legend of Zelda is a ‘legendary’ franchise that consists of some of the best titles in the history of gaming. We all have questions about what the future may hold with Zelda remakes; let’s flesh those questions out and go over some recent rumors." - Nintendo Enthusiast

They should do a remake of a link to the past. A 3D remake.

wonderfulmonkeyman2363d ago

Only if they include a remake of A Link Between Worlds with it that automatically starts right after you beat ALTTP, as a double pack.
Now THAT, would be cool.

But in all honesty, I would much prefer a remake of the Oracle twins.

There is soooooo much potential in those two games, especially as 3D games instead of top-down 2D.

JunMei2362d ago

Why that initially seems to make sense, Link Between Worlds isn't a direct sequel. Link to the Past->Oracle of Ages/Season->Link's Awakening are all the same Link in the same timeline. Link Between Worlds is a different Link, but still in the same timeline. So I'd really like to see the whole adventure altogether.

I would rather a complete from the ground remake of majoras mask with refined mechanics similar to ps4 ratchet and clank and shadow of the colossus.

Imagine seeing the moon hurling towards clocktown in an amazing graphical spectacle. I'd have to let it hit termina just once.

This still gives me goose bumps

YAS!!! And keep the music the same too!

Bleucrunch2363d ago

OMG @Lazyeye79 you playing with my emotions brother....I would also say they should remake the Original:Zelda, or Link's Awakening. Go all the way back then make your way forward...dam your post just gave me goosebumps. I am currently playing a link to the past on my android tablet with my 8bitdo.....

Subzero100x2362d ago

Then i guess it's a good thing people like you dont make games.

Foraoise2362d ago

Links Awakening has my vote.

Why dafuq would that ever be the case? HD remakes should be celebrated. It’s really great to see titles built entirely from the ground up for modern audiences. You’d have to be crazy to frown upon that.

brettnll2363d ago

There’s a lot of people that hate ports and remakes. Not sure why.

freshslicepizza2363d ago

If it's a bad port I can see why. The other problem could be the lack of backwards compatability in favor of reselling games. I have no problem with games like Shadow of Collossus becaused it shows they are putting a lot of resources into it so they should sell it but it depends on how much. We all know Zelda is going to sell but is Nintendo going to push the cost up becauae they can?

The 10th Rider2363d ago

Ports can be a problem. A simple port shouldn't cost $60. Also, sometimes a company is hired to make a port but then the port is given no post-launch support, meaning if any bugs are created during the porting process then they never get fixed.

remixx1162363d ago

For once I actually agree with @moldy

Fully built from the ground up remakes are absolutely great. Think ratchet and clank, ff7 re and shadow of the colossus.

It's half assed r emasters that are the problem, games like phantom dust remake and shit like that.

If your just going to do a resolution bump then give people bang for their buck like master chief collection and rare replay.

BadElf2362d ago

Exactly, I never understood the hatred, and I think its the majority that doesnt like them. If HD REmakes were the ONLY thing releasing, with no new titles...I could understand.

FinalFantasyFanatic2362d ago

I love hd remakes, some of those games I never got to ay the first time around and they ended up become rare or super expensive as a collector's item.

CrimsonWing692363d ago

Dear god don’t make it like breath of the wild.

Benjaminkno2362d ago

How could a remake be like BotW?
Nothing is even similar to it.
It’s a great game anyway.

Subzero100x2362d ago

Of course not that game is a just a slightly better version of that crap that they make for the wii.

strayanalog2363d ago

If they remake one or a few let's make it interesting: do the first three or four in 3D. The first was/is notoriously hard, the second one everyone seems to forget, the third and fourth entries in 3D would just be plain interesting.‎

Benjaminkno2362d ago

I loved the 2nd one which was really difficult.

Kribwalker2362d ago

the 2nd one was tough. weird hybrid too. didn’t seem as much like a zelda game

wonderfulmonkeyman2363d ago

Do a remake of Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, Nintendo.
A double-pack of those, in 3D like OoT or BotW [though not necessarily open-world like BotW, just styled like it graphically] would make my mind implode.

The 10th Rider2363d ago

I actually kind of agree with this. Even though A Link to the Past is my favorite Zelda game it'd be cool to see the handheld games updated. Because the Gameboy Advance's screen was lower resolution the handheld games don't look as good on the big screen and on top of that anyone who didn't buy handhelds didn't really have a good chance to experience the games.

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno82d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic113d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon113d ago (Edited 113d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast113d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul112d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.
