If it didn't affect the new Zeldas... (Some Spoilers)

If it didn't affect the progress of the new Zelda videogames (namely Phantom Hourglass and Zelda Wii), would you want to see remakes of some of the classic games? For example, Ocarina of Time, great as it was, was originally intended to have a Light Temple, an Ice Temple, and a Wind Temple, in addition to all the dungeons, temples and mini-dungeons it already has. The fixed 3D tiling could be fixed up, similar to Majora's Mask, and, obviously, the graphics could be improved (I'm not making the claim that OoT's graphics weren't outstanding, but wouldn't you like to see some emotion in the characters, like Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker?). Perhaps even a Wind and Ice tribe could be added...

Similarly, The Wind Waker was a great game, and it had a lot of potential, but it was rushed; there was no dungeon for the third Pearl, Greatfish Isle was completely devoid of life, and very few of the islands were actually inhabited. It also would have been nice to have seen more temples, and less mini-dungeons. And what annoyed me most about this game was that the pirate theme was very badly used. In The Great Sea, there should have been many pirate groups. Tetra even mentions that she and a group of pirates, who resided at the Forsaken Fortress, used to compete. It would have been nice to see a Gerudo pirate group (Majora's Mask cameo, anyone?), or even a Sheikah one, or both. The pirate groups clashing would have been nice, too. And, as mentioned above, Outset and Windfall were the only real "towns" in the game, unless one counts the (two) Tribe strongholds. I think there should have been at least four towns (Windfall was my favorite place in the whole game, but it was very small), and many more tribe strongholds (and tribes, for that matter).

Many people say that they don't want classic Zelda games being changed, but I honestly don't think of it as changing. If a remake is bad, then don't play it. It doesn't take the enjoyment out of the original. (For example, I couldn't stand Super Mario 64 DS or Pokemon Firered/Leafgreen, but my opinion of Super Mario 64 and Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow hasn't changed one bit.) Still others say that they would rather Nintendo concentrate on new Zelda games, rather than cling to the old ones. But what if changing classic Zelda games gave Nintendo better ideas for future games?

A lot of people complain about Twilight Princess being rushed; maybe if Nintendo hadn't tried to complete it so quickly, and just relaxed with some past titles to get the "creative juices" flowing, it would have been more satisfying. Of course, the programming of Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker could just be mirrored and graphically updated by other members of Nintendo, who have nothing to do with tLoZ series, and then could be tested and added to by Miyamoto, Aonuma and the like. Adding the new features wouldn't take too long, and Zelda staff could even work on other Zelda games while the remakes were being made, if they had good ideas. And, if not, they could get some good ideas by seeing the magic of their previous Zelda titles come back to life.

Perhaps I'll get flamed or blacklisted for this, but I know there are other people who want the same as I do.

Everyone, please post your opinions on this topic.

Re: If it didn't affect the new Zeldas... (Some Spoilers)

Ocarina of Time has already had its tweaking- Master Quest, anyone?

I simply don't think it would be profitable, especially with the advent of the Virtual Console. Why buy a version of Ocarina of Time that, while it has better graphics, only adds one or two more dungeons when you can buy the original, which most Zelda fans are nostalgic about?

Your suggestions about The Wind Waker- well, we have Phantom Hourglass, and whose is to say that we may never revisit the Great Sea again? With the popularity of pirates in pop culture, it's quite likely. We don't have to cram everything into one game.

Plus, each of these suggestions? Would affect the game stories. Would those temples from Ocarina of Time have Sages? Then they have to appear in The Wind Waker as stained glass windows. They'd have to remake every game that affected each other if they wanted to remake only one.

Personally, I wouldn't want them to do it- it would feel cheap to me, like Nintendo is just reselling an old classic to tide us over between new Zelda titles.

Re: If it didn't affect the new Zeldas... (Some Spoilers)

If it absolutely didn't have any effect on the other games Nintendo was working on, sure. If they could clone themselves up a team or something and print money to finance the project or something, yeah.

Since my fantasy is already crazy unrealistic, I'll just keep going over the top with it:

It would be released on a single Wii disc, with OoT, MM, and WW on it. All with TP's Wii controls, and OoT's and MM's graphics would be updated (keeping the style, just higher quality). All the known glitches and bugs from the originals would be gone, of course. And there'd be a difficulty setting (which I'd lower on MM and increase on WW >_>). And the dungeons that aren't new would be remixed like OoT MQ.

And they'd have to polish it up a bit too, make it feel more like TP. Little things, like being able to turn while rolling, and Epona not going mega slow like she did in those games.

Re: If it didn't affect the new Zeldas... (Some Spoilers)

i'd love a zelda TP master quest, if they made the bosses harder that would make it like hard and great graphic boss. That in my mind is what a zelda game should be...

Re: If it didn't affect the new Zeldas... (Some Spoilers)

I'd like to see a OoT remake with everything remade. So it looks next-generation and feelis like it too. Also, expressions, massive chracter develpment for all characters. And also new characters added to the game. Lots of side-quests and horse-battles too.

Re: If it didn't affect the new Zeldas... (Some Spoilers)

Ocarina of Time was, undoubtedly, one of the greatest games in Zelda history.
However, almost every game in the zelda franchise could be re-made into something better, therefore, I agree with Nicoleb.

Re: If it didn't affect the new Zeldas... (Some Spoilers)

I would like to see every Zelda game possible remade for the DS, because that's the only game system I have. Don't you think Nintendo would make a lot of money if they remade OoT for the DS?

Re: If it didn't affect the new Zeldas... (Some Spoilers)

Nintendo is doing a fine job re-porting the old games the way they are (LA DX's Color Dungeon, Master Quest, addition of Four Swords, etc.). However, it'd be great if producers revisited old games so we could get some relevent PLOT info from them! I love playing old games not because the gameplay was great in their time (which it was, but it's hard to go from Twilight Princess to Ocarina of Time) but because the older games are juicy with timeline fodder. Wind Waker had some, but TP's storyline was a bit of a spin-off.

Thus, port old games so that people don't forget the storylines, but they don't have to be remastered.

Re: If it didn't affect the new Zeldas... (Some Spoilers)

i wouldnt really care if they remade mm, or oot, yeah theyre great games, but theyre already in 3-d, so them being souped up to more "modern" graphics, just does cut it for me, now i would really like to see a 3-d lttp, going from 2-d to 3-d would be a big step, i think thatd be really kool
