It seems that Nintendo plans to remake one of two classic Zelda games, A Link to the Past or Majora’s Mask. Either choice seems like a huge reason to get excited, and the game may even find its way to the Wii U.
IGN’s Rich George interviewed Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto about the possibility of re-releasing an updated version either game. It sounds like it’ll be one or the other, though, and not both, which is criminal, but we’re still happy with the idea:
“We haven’t quite decided yet, whether we’re going to do A Link to the Past, because there’s also the possibility of doing a remake of Majora’s Mask,” Miyamoto told IGN in an interview at E3 last week. “This is something we’ve certainly been talking about and doing a little bit of experimenting with, to figure out which way we’re going to go.”
Miyamoto also said that a Wii U project could possibly be in the cards for a future Zelda remake, although the popularity and availability of each title may narrow down the process.
Just running down the list, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has actually been remade and re-released several times. Not only is A Link To The Past available on the Virtual Console, but its Game Boy Advance (and Nintendo DSi) remake, Four Swords, went as far as including a multiplayer aspect that could be shared among four players at once.
Majora’s Mask, while not the most popular Zelda title, has been a critical hit, seeing re-releases on the Virtual Console and as a pack-in GameCube game for The Legend of Zelda: Collector’s Edition.
