LOZ remake, what do ya think?

I downloaded the original LOZ on my we and it is a master piece and often over-looked. Do you think that they should make a remake of the original LOZ? I for one would like it for sure.

I think it would be good in 3D if done properly. It could look like the really, really old, beta version of OOT.

I would appreciate a version of it that makes sense, with coherent dialogue, in-game Impa, and some sense. As far as gameplay mechanics go (like stabbing sword), that stuff should be left alone. It should play the same, but with some attention to story and some truly spiffy looking graphics.

isn't a fan made LoZ being made on the OoT engine? that sounds like enough

A next-gen LOZ. That would bring so much hype! Old school players would love that! But only as long as its good. If someone screwed up a remake like that, people could get angry! No one likes it when people get angry.

Nah forget about remakes and create new games!

I think a remake would be cool, but only cool if they didn't cut time from the *new* Zelda game(s) to make it. With movies having remakes every year now, believe me, past games will be remade to accommodate the new consoles. It's only a matter of time.

A 2D remake for the Nintendo DS would be ideal and far more appealing than Phantom Hourglass. Like Metroid Zero Mission, the first game was so primitive and open that tons of additional content could be added. You'd have the same basic structure and "plot" but everything else would be redesigned and enhanced. It would be wonderful.

Yes! A remake should be made, on Wii, not DS. 3D world, 9 dungeons + second quest, and new items, sidequests, large landscape, realistic graphics...

I'd rather have an original game on the Wii. A remake, which should be in 2D to be at all similar, would be more appropriate on DS. Give it the "Zero Mission" treatment . . .

It's already been done. Twice.
The first one was made in 1991 under the title A Link to the Past. The second one was made seven years later, it was called Ocarina of Time.

Nah, if you're talking about a 1:1 remake, then better not. I have seen examples of popular games being made years later with advanced graphics but in the end became a tremendous flop, which I couldn't understand because it was essential exactly the same (plot, gameplay) just with larger dungeons. Nintendo should channel their manpower to creating new games, and leave old games in nostalgia land. (p.s the remade-game mentioned above was a Taiwanese turn-based RPG popular in ~1995, I don't think anyone here would know since it is foreign, but it was an iconic game in our region)

Redoing the entire LoZ game in 3D is unncessessary. Although, it would be absolutely amazing if they reintroduced the landscape of LoZ, as well as the Norther kingdom of Hyrule (as seen in Adventure of Link) in 3D form on the Wii...on a brand new game with a new story, characters, villans, etc.

I think that, in this generation, Nintendo is reaching too far into its past for inspiration. Nintendo needs to recapture its originality, rather then rehashing already flawless games.

Forget LOZ remake.

I'd much rather see an OOT remake or a ALLTP remake!

how awsome would that be? am I right?

OOT remake: No! It's already 3D, so a remake would just be OOT with updated graphics, which wouldn't be that interesting. It'd be a lot of work on Nintendo's part for not that interesting of a game.

But I agree with ALTTP: that game would be quite interesting converted to 3D, especially with the Pegasus boots. That's one game I'd definitely buy.

if they realy would give it a try and they make it twice as nice as TP is then i say yes

if not then i say no

I'd rather have Ninty spend time on a new Zelda game. We don't need to rehash old Loz games.

Who says it has to be a 3D remake? It could easily be given the "Zero Mission" treatment.

Think about it. LoZ is a very primitive and open ended game, just like the original Metroid. A DS remake in the similar vein and spirit, but with updated technology and so much additional content as to render it an entirely new game (but holding the same tenets and premise as the original) strikes me as very appealing--far more appealing than say, Phantom Hourglass (which seems to place most of its emphasis on ass).
