Could Nintendo pull a Final Fantasy 7 twist with Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake? 

More detail and interaction would be very cool

@@triforcetimes They Should Do An Adaptation Of The OOT Manga With Extra Storylines And Playable Characters

@@triforcetimes I Would Love It If TOTK Zelda Met The Hero Of Time And We'd Get An Unknown NPC But We Dont Get Know Her Name Until Much Later On In The Game Anyway She'll Help Link BUT I Think She Would Hide Her Identity And Would Go As "Hylia" Instead Of "Zelda"And We Would Get Full Access To Hyrule Castle After We Talk To Her Like We Meet The King And This Is Where He Is Revealed Unlike The OG Game And Also We'd Learn More About Princess Zelda's Life

@@triforcetimes Also I Can See An Event Like The Nibelheim Incident Where Link Gets Flashbacks Of His Past Lives And Upon Seeing The Master Sword We See Flashes Of The Great Calamity And Zelda's Battle With Ganon And Link's 100 Year Sleep But When Zelda Walks Past Him As We Hear: "Its Good To See You Link" And He Turns And When He Leaves He Sees A Familiar Looking Face And He Jumps And We Would Get The Funniest Scene In Zelda 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

good ideas here

@@triforcetimes It Was A Remaster Like Skyward Sword Not A Remake

I think it'd be massive

Imagine a Goron tunic with armor plating or a Zora tunic like in Twilight Princess!

yeah, but that was ages ago... remake it again

also, love the zelda 2 idea! one of my fav zelda games

@@triforcetimes zoomer

I doubt they'd alter the gameplay, maybe just the story... zelda's all about the gameplay

omg, imagine :D

Oh interesting 🤔

Your probably right.

Links awakening was excellent 👍

I just don't want it to opon world that's all.

randomizer zelda is always a good time

You could be right there, but I can hope

That'd be great, we could get both

you might as well ad Prime 3 with it because Prime 4 is on the way.

i'd settle for a regular remake

That would be cool, but I think it's going to be ocarina

@@triforcetimes That'd be cool too, tbh I'd be fine with any remake, but then again there's zero evidence for or against any of the games getting a remake.

there was an interview yesterday with game informer, final question www.gameinformer.com/interview/2023/12/07/aonuma-and-fujibayashi-talk-tears-of-the-kingdoms-reception-and-their-approach

@@triforcetimes Yeah I've seen that, and he literally says "no comment", which is what they always say, to any question about anything they haven't officially announced, an means nothing. They would say no comment if they were asked "are you working on a first-person open world crossover between Zelda and Metroid with Animal Crossing influences and Splatoon characters?" 🥲

I dunno, if they weren't doing anything, then they could simply say no

Didn't aonuma hint at an oot remake yesterday in an interview with game informer?

Are you talking about the 3DS version? There was no precedent back then for remakes like FFVII back then. (Also it was on a Handheld) Now they may see the value of doing more than just sharpening textures.

😁

Nintendo have always said their focus is gameplay.

@@triforcetimes which is why I don't think a OOT remake will happen, and if it does the story will remain identical. Their gameplay only focus is actively holding back Zelda imo and it sucks.

With potentially 5-6 years until the next mainline Zelda, what else would you fill that gap with?

@@triforcetimes If strictly speaking about Zelda, I'd personally like a revamp for both Oracle of ages and seasons like they did for Link's awakening. OoT was my first Zelda and I have fond memories of it, but with so many unreal engine fanmade test remakes I've grown tired of it. Maybe I have an overall Zelda burnout. But if I had to ask something, I'd definitely want Nintendo giving more love to Star Fox, Metroid and F-Zero.

@@triforcetimes A brand new 2D Zelda. We used to get new 2D Zelda games in between big 3D releases, but that stopped since the recent movement of constant remakes. We haven't gotten a new 2D Zelda in 10 years (A Link Between Worlds in 2013)

Very true

I feel like it would be a disservice if they just keep remastering games. Take this opportunity to make these games how you would have made them today.

one game would be good!

Which Zelda do you want to see remade?

@@triforcetimesI don't want any more remakes or re-releases. I want an original game.

Nah the ff7 remake is what it should be. Why would u want a litteral point for point remake of ff7. REMAKES are supposed to be about capturing the magic of OG IP while adding things that weren't there originally to give u a fresh experience as well.

​@@kingdaniel3519there are all types of original games being made. Even from the studio's that are remaking old games/movies and shows.

@@thelastquincy1457 Beyond the technical limitations of the time, the game itself was as near perfect as humanly possible. The characters and story were already beyond amazing. There was zero need or want for the devs to throw in a Shamalanian twist. Their decision to completely change the story has killed any motivation that old timers, like myself, had to repurchase the games. I'll replay the PS1 version 1,000 times over before I ever consider purchasing a new console and their version. Remakes are supposed to be about recapturing the nostalgia of the original while modernizing it. By altering the story, now it's not nostalgic. All that was needed was for them to update it, not make a completely new thing. Modern SquareEnix could fuck up a wet dream, and they did.

It could bring the game to a whole new audience. Younger switch owners probably never played oot or the 3ds remake

@@triforcetimes But if bringing the game to a new audience wouldn't it be better to release a remastered version instead doing a FF7 style remake which is basically a completely different game?

@@triforcetimes i agree it's good to bring old games to newer audiences, but that's why the game only needs to be polished up a bit to fix some of the graphics that are jarring by today's standards. doing a full blown remake is pointless- then you just get a weird mish-mash of modern graphics and game design with 1990s graphics and game design.

I mean adding to the story

Why not?

@@triforcetimes Because remake culture is a cancer.

What games have dungeons similar to OoT outside of other Zelda games? This style of dungeon is very rare in video games. The only one I can think of is Okami. Even the Zelda series did away with this kind of dungeon in BotW and TotK.

@@hist150project5 I was thinking specifically about: Okami, the darksiders serie (especially 1 and 2), Dark chronicles 2, Beyond good and evil, Legacy of Kain, Blue fire. Fable 1 and 2. Ever Oasis Dawn of Mana And it might be a bit of a stretch but I would also put: Prince of Persia sands of time, Prince of persia warrior within, Prince of Persia Reboot 2008, Castelvania lament of innocence, Castelvania Curse of Darkness. Pseudoregalia (wich is really good). They are different, but they incorporate a lot of elements of Zelda OoT Dungeons progression, and add their own twist and mechanics on top of it. But my point is you can find the influence of those first 3D zeldas dungeons in most modern adventure titles even if they get a bit more distant from that Oot build: To me even souls games in general are direct descendants of 3D Zeldas: Huge focus on exploration, Various and diverse interconnected locals with their own esthetic, identity, themes, and mechanics. Key items opening gates or letting you access new areas, puzzles, backtracking, lots of secrets, lots of combat, and a boss at the end of a zone.

@@sludgewave4786 Yeah but most of the games you listed are quite old, and the few that aren't old are quite obscure games. Blue Fire doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. I think there were a lot of classic Zelda type games during the PS2/Gamecube era, but with PS3 era and beyond with the rise of the "AAA formula" these kinds of games just weren't made anymore. Modern games with the classic Zelda style dungeons are extremely rare compared to stuff like the Ubisoft open world formula. It's definitely not the case that "if you never played OoT, you already have", especially people mainly into modern games. I haven't played souls like games but from what I know about them they don't really have puzzles (aside from exploration) and are mainly focused on combat, and they don't have the gadgets that Zelda games have (like hookshot, spinner, etc.), so I wouldn't call them Zelda like games.

@@hist150project5 Yeah some of the game I listed are pretty old, OoT is pretty old too. blue fire and pseudoregalia are recent tho. They are indie games. Pseudoregalia came out in 2023, really good, I highly recommend it. It's barebones but the gameplay loop is extremly well done. It's like a mix of Zelda 3D in term of exploration but with a focus on 3D platforming. And I agree there was definitely a lot more of Zelda like games during the 2000s. And the reason why there is less zelda games now is just that...Games evolved. That's why I didn't put all the princes of persia in there. When Prince of Persia "the two thrones" came out, The serie shifted toward a proto more modern form of adventure game. Less exploration and much more linear. With a focus on story, and spectacle. Even in Triple A open world formula, you'll find Zelda influences. Elden ring is open world but has huge themed dungeons. In a way that OoT devs could only dream of at the time. Now about dark souls, yes they do have puzzles. Much simpler Puzzles than Zelda for sure, It's mainly about unlocking shortcuts and finding way around traps, the game is less focus around them, but they are puzzles none the less. But you don't push blocks and don't redirect beams of lights. But that not the definition of puzzles, that's just one way of doing it. And there are so much games that are doing that. I mean I didn't talk about Tomb raiders or resident evil. But they have puzzles that are really similar to what you can find in a zelda (the older Resident evil not the more recent). Devil may cry 1-3 had puzzles inspired by Zelda. And castelvania Lord of shadows too (only the first one, tho). Some of the games I cited have gadgets, not all of them, but Darksiders for exemple have gadgets. In the first one you even have a portal gun as a gadget (but definitely play the 2nd one instead it's much better). On paper Gadgets/items in Zelda are great. In practice those mechanic are less interesting than they seem: For exemple the hookshot. Fantastic Idea. But it isn't realle useful outside of the very limited places where you are supposed to use it. Haven't you try to cling on everything in Zelda OoT and ended up noticing that it doesn't work exept in really specific and limited spots (targets or climbable ledge)....It becomes an item you don't use as much as you like. The spinner is also a great exemple, You use the spinner during the dungeon, the boss fight. And on really specific spots in the overworld. Otherwise it's doesn't have any utility. This is why I call them Key items, they serve more or less the same fonction than keys. Sure you can use gadgets in combat sometimes. But it's usually gimmicky. Like boss fights. Boss fights in old school Zelda are extremly easy because of that. Just use the item you just got. Bam you won. This is why I really love how gadgets and combat evolved in BOTW. There are fewer "gadgets". Well not really gadgets, but powers. They fit the same role tho, and are much deeper mechanics, usable in countless situations. In Totk it's even more deep. Not only the core powers are great "gadgets" in themselves. But Zonais devices add so much more great ideas to the mix. Really smart game design fitting for a zelda. Sorry I did write really long paragraph. But I really love gamedesign and Zelda. And I want the franchise to evolve instead of clinging to the ideas that made it great 25 years ago. I think the happy middle ground is what nintendo did with A Link Between World. Superficially it looks like a remake, same music environement, ennemies, but it innovate in term of mechanics and structure, it's a fantastic zelda. And maybe if nintendo would do the same with OoT I would be down. But not a straight remake.

slashing bushes is the best!

Yes

I don't think it was

@@triforcetimes it was.

I think that would take too long tbh

False advertising?

No it's not, it's completely rational
