As Zelda: Majora’s Masks hits its twenty fifth birthday, we surprise if the sport will come again to trendy consoles, and if there can be any room for a complete remake. Whereas a devoted redo can be enjoyable, Nintendo might get ingenious with it so as to add some contemporary vibes.
There have been rumors about a whole lot of The Legend of Zelda ports – particularly Wind Waker and Twilight Princess – floating round since day one of many Nintendo Swap’s lifespan. Nonetheless, 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 a 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 may get it on Nintendo Swap On-line, however it’s not the identical as a full-on remake.
Now for the enjoyable bit. I had an concept in a dream. What if we bought an virtually soulslike remake? Think about it – darkish, life like, gritty. I think about Hyperlink would look extra just like the Twilight Princess Hyperlink than every other. The fight can be difficult, however not inconceivable, and it could give bosses a bit extra depth than the same old three-phase system.
Taking inspiration from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom – and its really scary gloom hand enemies – can be one other strategy to go. Whereas it wouldn’t have to be an enormous open-world sport, the enemies would shine with trendy 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 sporting a tin foil hat, and manifesting my very own concepts to come back to the Swap 2.
In fact, we’d possible not get a brand new Majora’s Masks model with out an Ocarina of Time remake, too, on condition that they’re intrinsically linked. So, think about this as an alternative: a double pack of remade titles with trendy graphics, higher management schemes, and newly recorded ‘hyah’-s. The Swap 2 has a protracted life in entrance of it, so there’s loads of time to shock us with a new Zelda sport or carry an previous title again to the forefront.
If this has you somewhat confused as to the timeline, we’ve a information to each Zelda sport so as. Plus, listed below are our picks of the finest Zelda video games general, and what we all know in regards to the upcoming Legend of Zelda film, too.
