Eiji Aonuma explains why they're not being aggressive with Ocarina of Time remake

Ocarina of Time - Image 1It's no secret that fans all over are clamoring for a remake of Ocarina of Time. Some would want to see it on the Wii, others on the DS. Let's see what Eiji Aonuma says about this possibility, if it does exist at all.

Well, I sometimes hear such requests from people who want to play Ocarina of Time on Wii, they ask us to remake it and take advantage of Wii technology. Whenever we think about the remake, we have to also think about the background, especially what kind of situation, what kind of period and time that previous game was played in, because be it Ocarina of Time or any other games, whenever they say they want to remake on whichever platform, they have some emotional attachment from playing that game at a particular time or environment.



That sort of background is always there when they talk about or request the remake of a game. We cannot afford to destroy that kind of emotional attachment. Still, even if we are going to take advantage of the improved technology, we have to have some breakthrough in the gameplay. That combination is not an easy one. Whenever we talk about this breakthrough technology, we come up with ideas that we would like to incorporate into the new Zelda franchise. So that's the current situation and that's the reason why we are not very aggressive in exploring the possibility of remaking the past Zelda series.


If I can think of how to do it, or any other inspiration comes to me, without destroying the emotional attachment people have to the past game, and I can make some great innovation or renovation to the remake, then I might be able to think about it further.

I'm happy with Ocarina the way it is.

I agree. Maybe it's too early for a Ocarina of Time remake.



But I think it's the right time for a Final Fantasy 7 remake. You hear that, Square Enix?!

There is only 1 way I would like to see a Ocarina remake: HD. If it's not in HD, don't make it.

If they were (call me crazy) to redo OoT from scratch using even the Twilight Princess engine, which wasn't amazing, I would preorder it online and await eagerly for it to be on my doorstep



But this would only be amazing as long as they didn't change anything. MAYBE the dungeons to spice it up, and maybe even add an ending to it or do the same with Majora's Mask and put it on the same disc. Which I doubt.

they should just make a sequel to majora's mask using the original zelda n64 engine to keep the story going, but not lose the awesomeness of the games! =D

then we could see if link ever made it back to hyrule, and get more into the story of majora

that would be awesome............

I think in order to do a remake you need a huge leap in technology to make it seem worth while. The Wii (or DS) is not that leap needed to bring a classic back. PS1 to PS3 yes, N64 to Wii... No.
