Recently, many game developers are getting frowned upon due to the unwavering amount of HD remakes hitting the market space, and to a degree, HD remakes may be getting a little out of hand. However, The Legend of Zelda is an exceptional franchise that consists of some of the best titles in the history of gaming. We all have questions about future Zelda remakes that may be on the horizon; let's flesh those questions out.
BLG writes, "There are many fantastic and iconic weapons in game history, but some are significantly more memorable than others. When we think of iconic game weapons, these are the top 20 that come to mind."
You forgot one and it's a doozy. The weapon is kindness in undertale. :) defeats countless enemies.
Screen Rant, "The return of one controversial character could have an incredible effect on The Legend of Zelda, prompting the introduction of new features."
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
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.
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
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.
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..
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.
I hope one day we get an Legend of Zelda Minish Cap remake for both 3DS & WiiU. I love the old Zelda games. I want them all remade and looking like Wind Waker graphics.
No more remakes, please. Yes, while the nostalgia fairy besides me is tempted, I would prefer Nintendo to continue creating new games in the Zelda canon. Games like ALBW's are the perfect balance, more homage than remake. Leave re-releasing all games in its back catalogue as a way of compensating having nothing good (certainly exclusively) on their console to Sony and Microsoft - thus far.
Edit@ saying all this I like what Nintendo are currently doing, particularly with Prime Trilogy. Re-release older rare games digitally via the Wii U (or 3DS, whichever is best) as a way of putting them back in the hands of the gamers and less as a chalice for Gollum.
If it is a classic game that people have actually been asking for a remake/remaster of, then so be it. The problem is all these so called "Definitive Edition" releases of games that are only one gen old and were never that good to begin with. There is even a definitive edition of DMC coming out in march, and everyone hated that game. It is turning into a blind cash grab.
I'd like a Twilight Princess remake or remaster for Wii U. Maybe in the future, a Skyward Sword remake/remaster as well, one with gamepad support, maybe where you can use the stylus to make precision swipes on the gamepad for the enemies that require specific strikes to take down, instead of needing to use the wii mote, though it would still have wii mote support.
As for the mobile console side of things, a remake of Oracle of Ages/Seasons would be pretty cool too, though I hope they're also working on a new 3ds zelda title.
I really would prefer a Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword HD remaster on the Wii U. Majora's Mask & OoT being remade on the 3DS makes sense, because they're small games. They wouldn't even fit a fifteenth of a regular Wii U game disc.
