Do you think The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons & Ages will get remade next?

This might be too early since LAR just got announced, but do you think we will see the Oracle games get remade next, maybe a 2021 or 2022 title?

We had rumours that Nintendo wants to release a new Zelda for Switch every year, and if that's true this is what I am thinking...

2017: Breath of the Wild
2018: Hyrule Warriors Deluxe Version
2019: Link's Awakening Remake
2020: Breath of the Wild 2 (King Zell teased this)
2021: Oracle of Seasons & Ages Remake
2022: Hyrule Warriors 2 (or switch OoSR&OoAR with HW2)
2023: Brand new Zelda on Switch 2

What do you think?

no because nintendo doesn't have the same emotional attachment to them since they were made by capcom.

tezuka and miyamoto constantly talked about Link's Awakening in interviews. Oracles? never

Seeing as they were Capcom games I'm not sure if nintendo will want to remake them. Hell the Oracle games and Minish Cap were barely referenced in Hyrule Warriors, even when the Legends DLC had a focus on handheld Zelda games.

If they do remake the games then I hope they look like the official art.

Like others are saying, I don't think they'll bother with the Capcom games. They didn't make them and it might be a legal nightmare/too much trouble to be worth it.

I dunno, the fact that it was made by Capcom, makes me feel like it's less likely.

The Oracles were basically rom hacks of Link's Awakening with some Ocarina-era stuff dropped in. They're much wonkier design wise and would need a lot of cruft cut out to not be annoying.

So probably not. Same with the DS games, they'll probably stay as the original versions only.

Already done in 1995, they could just tidy it up and re-release it.

I hope so. The Oracle games are both better than LA. Maybe we can even get Oracle of Secrets, which would be *amazing*.

Heck yes, bring on the remakes of the best zelda game! (the two combined together)
(Personally, i don't think they will since they were not made in-house by Nintendo like Link Awakening was, but i sure would love getting a remake of them.)

A Zelda I + II remake collection would be neat.

I'm in for all remakes. I still want my HD SS. :/

I doubt anytime soon, the games are good, but they are kind of a side show to the main series, without LA's benefit of being first party developed and generally more well loved. Doesn't seem like it would be a high priority.

Now this I think could and should happen.

It would be nice to see yearly Zelda, but part of me wants to be a bit weary about the yearly Zelda title. Mind you though it would be nice to see a variety of available Zelda titles for everyone to enjoy.

They're the best 2D Zeldas, so I hope we get remakes someday. I doubt they'll be remade any time soon though.

No, not a chance in hell. Not just because they weren't Nintendo-made (so my guess is they're apathetic towards them), but because it just seems a little too pipe-dreamy. It'd be more than necessary sort of thing.

I hope so. I have a lot of nostalgia for those games sense I didn't have an N64 as a kid but I did have a GBC.

Honestly they should do both Oracle games and Zelda II. I would have preferred those to a Link's Awakening remake honestly.

The Capcom made games (Oracles, the original Four Swords and Minish Cap) are barely acknowledged by Nintendo on anything - I.e. Smash Bros trophies, cameos or references in later Zelda games, heck even the anniversary concert cds deliberately leave their music out while having music from every other Zelda's game. They will never be remade.

Yes, I think that's the whole point. They can simply reuse this engine. So,

BotW -> LA Remake -> BotW 2 -> Seasons/Ages Remake (double release)

This is probably their strategy for the mainline Zelda series on Switch.

If they do it, it needs to be a 2D sprite remake, with the most beautiful 2D work they can muster!

Link's Awakening deserves to be accessible to as many people as possible, but after this, I want new 2D Zelda games. There's potential for Nintendo to surpass Link's Awakening. I can feel it.

The idea that Nintendo doesn't care about the Oracle games because they were "made by Capcom" is ridiculous. The director of those games, Hidemaro Fujibayashi has worked at Nintendo for over a decade and recently directed Breath of the Wild. You guys ever hear of BREATH OF THE WILD? Also they were technically developed by Flagship (who also worked on Kirby Squeak Squad and Amazing Mirror). They were absorbed by Capcom in 2007 but I wouldn't be surprised if other staff members are now at Nintendo.

Oracle remakes would be fantastic but are you going to sell two $60 Zeldas at the same time? I'm even wondering if they are going to add substantial content to the LA remake.

I wouldn't mind Seasons and Ages remakes/a remake. It'd be cool for them or the first two Zelda's to get remade. I personally would prefer an original 2D Zelda, especially because the last original one was basically a reimagined LttP. A Minish Cap/Four Swords follow up would be cool. Or something all together different.

It'd make a lot of sense to slap them together using the same engine, so, knowing Nintendo, they probably won't do it. Who needs money?! Surely not the same company sitting on Mother 3 for no discernible reason.

I want A Link to the Past or Minish Cap to get remade.

The Ds games need to be updated with a TON of changes if we ever get to them.

I hope so. I find the level design much more interesting in both Oracles than in Link's Awakening if only because of the new items introduced.

My pipe dream would be a remake of both Oracle games followed by the third Oracle game that was never made.

They're good games, and much like I expect to happen with LA, it'd be nice to free them of the shackles of their original control scheme. Count me in.

Considering that I had to force myself through them, please no, not unless they are major remakes that make them less linear.
