What are the odds of getting VC imports of BS Zelda, AST, and Tetra's Trackers?

The odds are little to none, and so are the odds for WiiWare remakes of LoZ, AoL, or ALttP., thanks to the VC.

Why do we need remakes?

I agree with this. The games are already out. Just go play them and stop complaining.

The Odds = Absolute Zero. Although, I would love to see Tetra Trackers in english, complete with voice-acting

Too bad that the odds are really low. I would really like to see Ancient Stone Tablets in English.

The BS Zeldas couldn't simply appear on the Virtual Console, because of the nature of those games. They were live events, broadcasted in four episodes with live voice acting and what not. You couldn't simply emulate them, Nintendo would have to take the playable parts of the game and remake them into standard Zelda games. It's possible to do this, but I doubt Nintendo will ever even deal with that idea.

Navi Trackers got cut out from the PAL and US version of Four Swords Adventures for a reason. I'm not sure, what this reason was exactly, but I think it maybe had to do with the voice acting system, that was able to spell your name (which wouldn't work too well with western languages). But if Nintendo really wanted this game to appear in the outside of Japan, then they could have included it in the original version of FSA.

The only Zelda game, which wasn't already released on the VC yet and which has a real chance to appear on the VC, is Master Quest.

No.

It's just a remake, so nintendo probably won't release it again.

I wouldn't put it past them.

I wish they'd added game-boy/color/advanced for downloads. Then we could have almost all of zelda on the Wii.

Edit:

They are remaking all of the Metroidrime trilogy for the Wii.

Porting is more accurate than remaking, the only changes are control-wise,
and possibly less-compressed graphics

Bad wording on my part. That's basically what I was trying to say... yet I posted quickly and now realized it is not comparable to the post above. sorry/

Master Quest is not a remake. It's more or less just a modification or a special version of Ocarina of Time, a kind of 2nd Quest. Or something like "The Lost Levels". And it was an emulated N64 game on a bonus disc, much like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were.

I said, this has a chance to appear on Virtual Console, which doesn't mean, that it definitely will appear. But I don't see, why this shouldn't have no chance at all. I wouldn't wonder if it appears on the Virtual Console one day, they were already successful in emulating it, they have nothing to loose here and it's a Zelda game after all. So, why shouldn't they release it?
