Aonuma discusses future of Zelda games, possibility of Ocarina of Time Wii-make
Posted 28th of November, 2009 at 10:02 pm by Eleventyseventy 
In an interview with IGN, video game producer Eiji Aonuma shed some light on the development of The Legend of Zelda series. When questioned as to whether any of the old Zelda games would be re-made with new technology, Aonuma spoke of how there were requests for Ocarina of Time to be re-made on Wii. He went on to say, "If I can think of how to do it, or any other inspiration comes to me, without destroying the emotional attachment people have to the past game, and I can make some great innovation or renovation on the remake, then I might be able to think about it further."

Don't remake OoT for the Wii. We already have Master Quest to tie us over. Just ****ing drop what you are doing and focus on the new Wii Zelda game. Christ.

I never had a problem with the way Ocarina of Time looked. I love the look of the characters in the N64 games. There's just no need for remake. If it was A Link to the Past then MAYBE but there really is no need to remake a game that was originally 3D to begin with :/

There's only one unique Zelda game I'm interested in seeing remade - Majora's Mask. The art-style would dictate everything else important to the game, so a different take on it would be truly magical.

I'd really love to see Ocarina and Majora's Mask remade TOGETHER. So like you finish ocarina of time and then progress to Majora's mask i mean, i'm not even sure it'd work well haha. I just think that'd be cool.

Having gone through WW and TP, it's time to switch things up now. Aonuma alludes to that with the 'flow' of Zelda and do believe with the aid of a more interesting story, voice acting and motion plus, Zelda can truly evolve once again. It's not impossible.

Voice acting? You mean actually... saying things?
And Ocarina remake should be good to go in say, another 7 years. Give people time to build up that nostalgic feeling.

Majora's Mask: Master Quest would be sweeeeeet. I love that damn game.

If they remade OoT for wii, they would have to five the option to use the classic or gamecube controller. I wouldnt want them spoiling it with silly motion controls.

Hard to think of the direction they're taking with this altered flow. Ogod I hope they don't change it to a level-based system. 1-1, town, 1-2, dungeon. NOOO! Aonuma says that they're trying to make Zelda more accessable. We all know how Mario Kart Wii turned out, with its whole accessibility thing. >_>
E3. So long away. :P

Think about it- the already, arguably best game ever made- made even better. That's the thing, though. As fragile as it already is it'd be hard to do all that without ruining it.

There is only one way a Wii-make could be done; Cel shaded young Link and *shwing*, pull out the master sword, and TP style older Link!
Fire when ready.

I think a remake for DS would be better. As long as its not Phantom Hourglass style.
Posted 29th of November, 2009 at 10:24 pm by Waveguider
Remaking OoT for the DS would be the opposite of not destroying it.

The DS has horrible hardware for a N64 port. Wait until the next handheld which will have its graphics by Nvidia.

Sorry. He said 'without destroying the emotional attachment'. Not going to happen.
Posted 1st of December, 2009 at 04:07 pm by Waveguider
Turning OoT handheld would destroy it, regardless of hardware... trying to convert that huge adventure into something portable is a stupid idea.
I say just wait for whatever comes after the Wii.

Do not like the idea of a remake though, don't think it's necessary. I would personally prefer them to just keep on pushing forward with the series hopefully injecting it with some innovation and mixing things up as much as possible.

I don't really understand when people ask for an OoT remake, as people have mentioned, TP is way too similar.
TP gave us an updated version of almost every environment that was in OoT. Do people really want to see yet another version of the same environment? I mean ultimately, most environment themes are recycled (forest, cave etc.) but these are the ACTUAL places, I can't see how they would differ so much from what we have seen in Twilight Princess.
I want some fresh visuals.
STEAM PUNK!
