Grezzo’s Next Zelda Remake: ALTTP or Oracle Games?
- Thread starter Zor
- Start date
I'd be most interested in the Oracle games but I think we might see a reimagining of The Adventure of Link first. It would feel more like a brand new game too.
I recall only two "limitations" of the original: buttons (2 face buttons but needed to swap items), and text (slow scroll speed, prompt occured when approaching liftable object without intention). These two were very much outside the design of the game but were very annoying nonetheless. The remake fixes this, making it perfect.
I believe that artstyle would also fit well in remakes of Mole Mania and Super Mario RPG.
But I will take anything.

Are there actually more people voting for Remakes over new games? What the hell is wrong with this world?
Honestly, it's a shame that not all the Zelda games they converted are available on Switch. I'd love a Zelda compilation.
The Oracle games remade as one package is the obvious next step, as we already have the engine and lots of assets in place (it's been a while since I played them, but I recall lots of asset reuse from Link's Awakening). Getting a new audience for the Oracle games is a bonus too.
I can't help but thinking this is the best opportunity we will ever see for a The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls remake and localisation though.

Same. And it bugs the hell out of me that I can't play The Minish Cap today without considering an emulator. Putting them all on Switch would be so great.
I'd prefer a Zelda 2 remake in the same vein as that wonderboy remaster. Updated 2d graphics, a few qol features, but still retain those really nice combat and RPG-esque systems
A link between walls is an horrible ALTTP "remake/sequel". The dark world is so broken it has no charm.
I would prefer a total remake of ALTTP, with some new areas if it's possible and more life in the dark world town.

Don't see why it wouldn't be possible to work something out. Capcom made four swords, and grezzo already did a updated remake of that on dsiware/3ds eshop for the anniversary.
I don't think they'd do A Link to the Past because 1) this art style would fit that game even less than it fits Link's Awakening and 2) Link's Awakening is a sequel to A Link to the Past so it would be weird to have done LA first if they had any intention of doing ALttP.
ALBW is fine as a LTTP successor and after how Link's Awakening turned out I don't want them touching the Oracle games. They can do something else.
I wonder how a reimagining of the original Zelda would be
Take the basis premise, but modernize the game so it isn't so... old

After the ALTTP sequel and LA's remake it is time for a brand new 2D Zelda that isn't a multiplayer title and doesn't rely so much in past 2D entries.
It saddens me that ALBW has all these well designed dungeons, one of the best gimmicks in the franchise and a really great pace, but it's anchored to the situations and world of ALTTP in such a way that it diminishes its value as a proper new 2D entry. In 3DS, that "brand new 2D Zelda" was delivered in the form of Triforce Heroes, but not everyone is really interested in the level-structured multiplayer Zeldas, and instead want an adventure as in the main entries.
I would like to experience again a 2D Zelda with its own world, themes and situations, but I'm afraid that the next step could be an straight remake or an reinterpretation from both Oracles, two well designed games (at least speaking of Ages) but a bit bland in everything else in my opinion, and again we would have a rehash of past content instead of a fresh entry.

If I had to choose out of these options, I'd go for the Oracle games. They seem like the less popular games, not many people talk about them. Personally, I want them to work on something other than Zelda. They clearly have enough talent to do their own thing.
Secret best answer.
I voted for an original top-down Zelda, but what I want is a sequel taking place on Koholint Island. Think A Link Between Worlds.
An A Link to the Past remake seems very redundant with A Link Between Worlds existing, and the last time we got an original game from Grezzo it was Triforce Heroes.
So, Oracle remake please.

The Oracle games were stunning - I'd support them, and in a happy dream world, the third Oracle game that we were originally denied. I mean, they have engine and the assets now, just like they had in the 1990s.
I'd take the Oracles, but I honestly think the original Zelda game is more due a remake than anything else. Whether they follow what was planned for the third Oracle game (which was going to be a remake of it in itself), or find a different way of doing it.
Minish Cap doesn't need a remake, it's already the best looking Zelda game and isn't plagued with the same inconveniences as the Game Boy titles.

Sorry. I'm going literally in order of release relative to platform here. The Oracle games followed Link's Awakening on Game Boy Colour, whilst A Link To The Past preceded it - those made sense to me given that both Oracle games derived their assets from LA. I still think Minish Cap looks amazing today too.
A new one or the 2 oracle games in the same game with maybe some of the ideas they had for the 3rd game as an extra dungeon. Of course it need the part were you had to have both games to play it.
The Frog For Whom The Bell Tolls would be also great becuase nearly nobody has played this game and it would be cool if could finally.

Ok I take the new game from them back, stick with remakes if the best you can do is triforce heroes.
