As Zelda: Majora’s Masks hits its twenty fifth birthday, we surprise if the sport will come again to fashionable consoles, and if there can be any room for a complete remake. Whereas a devoted redo can be enjoyable, Nintendo may get ingenious with it so as to add some recent vibes.
There have been rumors about loads of The Legend of Zelda ports – specifically Wind Waker and Twilight Princess – floating round since day one of many Nintendo Swap’s lifespan. Nevertheless, it has been fairly quiet on the Majora’s Masks remake entrance, however I’m not giving up hope.
The spooky, timey-wimey Majora’s Masks debuted on the Nintendo 64 means again in 2000 – so be part of me in feeling previous, for a second. It then got here to GameCube in 2003 with some tweaked graphics, and even discovered itself on the Wii U Digital Console. There was additionally the Nintendo 3DS remake, which was pretty devoted to the unique and allowed much more of us to dive into Termina. Now, you will get it on Nintendo Swap On-line, but it surely’s not the identical as a full-on remake.
Now for the enjoyable bit. I had an concept in a dream. What if we acquired an virtually soulslike remake? Think about it – darkish, practical, gritty. I think about Hyperlink would look extra just like the Twilight Princess Hyperlink than some other. The fight can be difficult, however not not possible, and it might give bosses a bit extra depth than the same old three-phase components.
Taking inspiration from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom – and its truly scary gloom hand enemies – can be one other strategy to go. Whereas it wouldn’t should be an enormous open-world recreation, the enemies would shine with fashionable expertise, bringing their designs to creepy, unsettling life.
There have been 12 years between the GameCube and 3DS releases, so possibly we have to wait one other 12 for the Nintendo Swap… two extra years to go, individuals. That is simply me carrying a tin foil hat, and manifesting my very own concepts to come back to the Swap 2.
In fact, we’d seemingly not get a brand new Majora’s Masks model with out an Ocarina of Time remake, too, provided that they’re intrinsically linked. So, think about this as a substitute: a double pack of remade titles with fashionable graphics, higher management schemes, and newly recorded ‘hyah’-s. The Swap 2 has an extended life in entrance of it, so there’s loads of time to shock us with a brand new Zelda recreation or carry an previous title again to the forefront.
If this has you a little bit confused as to the timeline, now we have a information to each Zelda recreation so as. Plus, listed here are our picks of the very best Zelda video games general, and what we all know concerning the upcoming Legend of Zelda film, too.
