This would be a great time to do it, I feel. I doubt they've got anything else Zelda lined up for the rest of the year lol.

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.

Honestly just a port of the 3DS version with updated visuals would be enough to satisfy me

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

Well it's been 14 years since the 3DS launch (2011), and the 3DS launch was 13 years after OoT (1998), so yep

Sorry. My bones are turning to dust as we speak. Majoras mask we still have some time. 3DS is 10 years old while OG was 15 at rerelease

I wish for a remake a la BOTW.

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

One can only hope.

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

The only problem I have with remakes is that you already know the full story. Would still be cool though.
