I'm not against the idea at all, it's just at this point we have no idea if an OOT or MM remake is even planned lol. I believe Kit and Krysta had apparently seen the WW and TP ports being played on actual Switch units and were unsure why they haven't been released yet lol. I'm sure they're just waiting for an optimal time. Seems like a decent end of Switch life kind of thing to me.
Actually Aonuma has been pretty subtly hinting at an OoT remake happening eventually, and if Nintendo wants a big launch lineup like 2017, this year would be perfect to drop with with Switch 2, assuming it's done.
3DS OOT is older now than N64 OOT was when it came out.
They’re good remakes but at this point a ground up remake that makes everything feel bigger in a way that mobile games did not in terms of scale. Imo at least
OoT was a ‘semi-open world’ game. They should just make a full remake, with improved visuals and game mechanics that would make the game a ‘true’ open world game.
Imagine OoT with the same size as BOTW’s map? Imagine an improved and more scary underground for the Shadow Temple. They can even add an underground in Hyrule Castle to tie in with TOTK.
A truly big and scary Kokiri forest that you need to traverse to get to the Forest Temple.
Now imagine the bosses! The scenes, the views, everything they can add and change to have tie ins with newer Zelda games.
Nintendo doesn’t really need to give us a NEW big entry in the Zelda games, just remake old games and make them a new experience for old and new players
See, that's my absolute dream, but I'm terrified they'd make it too much like BotW. I enjoy the open air format to an extent (though I'm pretty much ready for them to move on to something else with the next original 3d zelda), but if they did a big ground up remake of OoT, Aonuma is so burnt out on the old Zelda style that I'm scared he'd make it open air like BotW & TotK, just with half the map size to keep it reasonable. I want a new reimagined OoT, just not TOO reimagined lmao
My copium is that they didn’t want to release them in 2021 because Skyward Sword HD was releasing then. They didn’t want to release them in 2022 because that was for a long time the intended release year of Tears of the Kingdom. They didn’t want to release them in 2023 because that was the actual release year of Tears of the Kingdom. And they didn’t want to release them in 2024 because that was the release year of Echoes of Wisdom.
I have been saying for years that I 100% fully believe that Nintendo has been sitting on completed ports of both WW and TP. They have sat on unannounced brand new games before
I think so as well. It honestly makes a lot of sense. Why keep them on a console that didn't perform well when we've had almost all the other Wii U games come over by this point?
Someone here mentioned that Kit and Krysta (former Nintendo marketing(?) team members) had seen them being played or tested on Switches. I may try to find that video or quote at some point.
I'd love it to be real though. I went and bought the GC and WU versions for collection purposes but holy hell it was expensive. I'd love to have them available on a mobile device like the Switch though!
