Ocarina of Twilight

No this is not an original idea for a story (unfortunately). The title of the thread is referring to my idea that Nintendo should remake Ocarina of Time using Twilight Princess Style graphics and game play. Of course most elements of the OOT game play would have to stay but things like being able to run and swing your sword as well as use it when riding Epona.

Well...Twilight Princess practically WAS an OoT remake. It was purposely made to be very similar to it.
So I dont see how this game would differ from TP much

I agree with Twilight Kitty, that would be a waste of time, in my opinion.

TP is pretty much an OOT remake, like TK said.

So no.

I don't really think TP resembles OOT that much ( just my opinion, don't fight with it please), but still a OOT remake would be waste of time. I just want the new Zelda with highly original story.

Well, if we would hypothetically say that the said OOT remake doesn't use the resourcers that are used on developing a new main Zelda, I'd gladly approve it's making.

However, I'd like a new Zelda more than some remake, especially if it's just graphics.

The only way OoT should be re-made is if some how they can put it on a handheld system like the DS which I think is slim to none.

I think that they need to continue on in the series instead of remaking old games

They already practically did. The remake is called Twilight Princess

Like everyone else said, TP's gameplay (while not identical) follows the same format as OoT: Forest, Fire, Water dungeons, get the Master Sword, the rest of the dungeons, defeat Ganon. We don't need an OoT remake.

You can already play OoT on the Wii. In fact, between Gamecube games and the Virtual Console, you can play LoZ, AoL, ALttP, OoT, MM, TWW, FSA, and TP on the Wii-- that's most of the Zelda games.

Nah, wouldn't like a remake. OoT's graphics suit me perfectly. I would much rather Nintendo works on the next Wii Zelda.

Why is everyone saying that Twilight Princess is a remake of OoT?

Is there an Ocarina? No.
Is there Jabu Jabu? No.
Are the Kokiri present? No.
Is there Spiritual Stones? No.
Is the Temple of Time near Castle Town? No.
Is the Temple of Time in perfectly good shape? No.
Is there time travel? No.
Is there a Zora Princess who is head over heels for Link? No.
Is there a Lon Lon Ranch? No.
Are there any Scarecrows who can remember songs for years? No.
Is there Biggoron? No.

The list goes on and on.

I SAY YES!

I think it'd be pretty cool.

Look, your lucky, I have lots of free time so I'm gonna rant on remakes.

Remakes seem to be all the rage these days, with Capcom and the Virtual Console leading the way. However, notice hot they don't upgrade for the most part. Lets take James Bond Goldeneye for the N64 for example. Its is generally agreeded to be one of the best FPS of all time. However, if you were to go back and play it now, most people would find playing with only one analoge stick to be almost immpossible. Thus, if they were to remake it now, very few people would like it. However, if they changed the game, fans of the original would cry foul because they changed one of its defining aspects. Does anyone else remember great games like Narc, Altered Beast, and Mega man that became crappy once the game was fundamentally changed?
Updating Ocarina of time with new grafics would alter its fundamental charactaristics. It would be exactly like when Speilburg edited all of the guns out of ET, or when Lucas redid star wars so that Greedo shoots first. They believed they were changing it for the better, but they just ended up screwing everything up.

Not to mention remaking OOT would force nintendo to spend time on the same game, rather than making a new one. OOT has been remade 3 times for the N64, twice for the GC, and once for the Wii. Just leave it at that.

And no, TP was not a remake of OOT in anyway shape or form. It was a compleatly diffrent game.

I think what people really mean to say is that TP 'attempted' to bring back the epicness that OoT had, but it wasn't all the way there. Not for some anyway. I think thats what people are trying to say when they say TP is basically OoT. But everyone knows it's not the exact same game as OoT re-made... Well at least I hope everyone knows

I expected these kind of responses but not so quickly and TP is nothing like OOT and if they truly tried to recreate the effect OOT had then they failed epicly. Let me out line the chnages to OOT if said proposed remake was made.


1) Twilight Princess style graphics.

2) TP control scheme.

3) Maybe a few new items

4) Ocarina playing that works the same as the wolf howling songs in TP.


Now imagine all this wrapped up into what is practically the same as the original OOT yet fundamentally different. This would be the second greatest thing in the world (the greatest thing in the world is bacon and as a Canadian I will ignore anything said on the contrary).

I'm talking about things such as the on horse use of sword as well as use of the sword while wlkaing/running

All you mention are locations and gimmicks. The gameplay and formula felt exactly the same but rehashed with new gimmicks.

That is the gist of it. When I talk OOT remake I mean literally OOT not a hack job that's supposed to recreate the effect. TP is a completely different game from OOT. All I'm suggesting is to take the OOT story and modernize the programming of the game. OOT is the pinacle of gaming in the '90s but it's not the '90s anymore so an upgrade isn't completely unwarranted. They could put it under a new name for all I care and besides it's not like Nintendo executives are reading this page. It's just fun to speculate over what things could be like. Besides...OOT deserves this. Think of the younger people who might never actually play OOT. Upgrading it would be beneficial to Nintendo. I bet all of you would be made into hypocrites if Nintendo remade OOT.
