Grezzo (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina 3D, Majora 3D) Looking for Unreal 4 Experience

There is no other announcement that would hype me up like a Link's Awakening HD remake. Now you have put the idea in my head, urgh...

As of 2015 (which is the last time Grezzo updated their corporate page), the company had 57 employees. There's no indication of how many people they're looking to take on, though.
Holy shit, character action / stealth game starring Sheik would be the one true megaton.
I will be surprised if BotW's follow-up doesn't have multiplayer elements. Much as I enjoy the Four Swords games, BotW strikes me as friendlier to co-op play than your average Zelda. Letting a second player control Link's wolf, companion, for example, would be a natural way to help friends play together without necessarily upending the basic game design. Or player 2 could be a second humanoid character and collect tools, cook food, and mark points of interest for player one.
With that kind of studio count, they're definitely assisting something then. Or their game is really small. Using tools like Unreal would mean that Grezzo or someone else is doing development. With that, I'll probably lower my expectations as to what it is
We getting Skyward Sword HD fam!
Hero of Time collection (OoT3D & MM3D in 1080p60)
Master Collection (WWHD and TPHD)
Nintendo please!

We just had this discussion in another thread. I think I would need fresh pants if this happened.

Sorry but please no. They'd have to remove so much padding in my eyes for it to be worth it that it'd be honestly a completely different game, and at that point they could do something much more interesting. As others have pointed out, a Zelda 2 remake or OoT/MM HD double pack would be great too, or even something different from them could be potentially cool as well.
We literally just had these games re-released. You consider that a better use of resources? And as much as I love Zelda 2, as long as Miyamoto is around I wouldn't hold my breath on a remake or sequel in it's likeness.
I'll take an optional quest or two to upgrade the stamina bar (in fact I'm surprised the original game never had one), but the only thing they need to change is the constant prompts and general loquaciousness of Fi. Otherwise, the game is fine as it is.
Switch's inability to accurately replicate the Wiimote Plus will be the biggest hurdle for the game, but I'd welcome workarounds.
Was this ever confirmed? I imagine the gyros in the joycon are probably easily on par.
Personally speaking, I'd rather finally have an HD version of both OoT and MM and having them both together in this format finally would be more valuable to me than an HD upres of Skyward Sword. Also, a Metro is 2 remake already has happened; I think anything is possible. I'm sure whatever they put out will be great, I'm excited for it.
Ever Oasis was such a fun game, look forward to whatever these guys do next. I'd be excited for a sequel or new IP, as I would be for them to work on one of Nintendo's properties again. Very cool team.
Skyward Sword remastered please. With optional motion controls, skippable dialogue and Fi toned down
This.
Ever Oasis was a great game which unfortunately was released at the wrong time, in the wrong place.
It seems moer like nintendo would give them another chance either at ever oasis or a new IP seeing as nintendo had to know that EO wasent gonna do well when the 3DS is on its way out.
Yeah, people to this day still don't understand the importance of art direction in comparison to technical prowess. Anything like that, lacking any cohesive and unique art style is getting old very quickly, while a game with a pretty art style is timeless despite its technical shortcomings. See Wind Waker, Okami, Jet Set Radio, even stuff like Metroud Prime holds up incredibly well.
I really hope they're reimagining Zelda II or are co-developing a new top-down Zelda.
Koichi Ishii has too much talent. I don't want to see all that wasted by having his team turned into Zelda code monkeys. Let them do a sequel to Ever Oasis, or a new IP.
OoT and MM 3DS look pretty good in an emulator being rendered in 1080p. They could do a quick, budget priced port of both games with existing graphicial assets.

A post on the Grezzo development blog may give us some idea of what they're looking at Unity for.
Programmer Hiroki Sakurai (who is listed in the credits for both Majora's Mask 3D and Ever Oasis) wrote a blog post on September 8th, outlining the idea of using Unity 5 (along with C# script) as just a level editor without actually using Unity as the main development engine.
Given that Grezzo are looking for Unreal Engine experience—and how scaleable Unreal is—I'm not certain why they would require the use of Unity as a level editing tool in the future. Perhaps they've already used this technique for past projects in some capacity.

LOL because it's a game that isn't remembered with favour by most (despite a slightly warmer recent reassessment by the otaku) and because what the hell would a 'remake' of Zelda 2 look like? Are we talking the same game but with HD three dimensional models instead of sprites? Does that sound like something Nintendo would do? Is that even something people want? Or are we talking a 'from the ground up' 'remimagining', which would essentially be brand new Zelda game - and you expect Grezzo to be doing this? It's not happening and I will eat a hat if this project is a Zelda 2 remake for Switch.
1. It is better remembered that other recent entries in the franchise.
2. It would be an HD game but not necessarily with 3D models (and even then it could be pulled off decently).
3. Are we forgetting about Samus Returns? The game that was fairly well-received and comes from an even more obscure and often cosidered worse entry than Zelda 2?
Great post, and I have similar hopes. Do we have a solid indication from Nintendo that the previous handheld team worked on BOTW and/or has been assimilated into the main team? I know Grezzo co-developed TFH but I figured the second team was both assisting with BOTW and working on their own project.
If it's remembered at all it's with distaste by the vast majority. It was considered a famous mis-step until very recently. And Samus Returns worked because they used it the original game to frame an entirely new 2D classic Metroid side-scroller, using classic metroid tropes and gameplay. How does that work with Zelda 2? Are they going to remake it using the 'classic' top down style of Zelda games, in which case why use Zelda 2 as the inspiration when you're stripping away the only thing that made it unique or are they going to work with the same weird side-on format of the original, which is kinda hard to even imagine how that would work in 2018. I just don't see it. I get that you do but I think you're going to be disappointed.
How do you see this game working?

I'd love if they did additional DLC for BOTW that incorporated co-op play.
As much as we sh*t on it, the GaaS model can lead to continual content development for our favorite games. More Zelda and Mario would be welcome by most if not all
Very unlikely if you ask me. Square Enix can handle this alone, it shouldn't be so hard for them to create a Switch Port after they released the Remake for the now announced systems.
This here is pretty likely related to Zelda. I also think Nintendo won't give Ishii another chance of a new IP after Ever Oasis was a bomb (still a great game).
A Zelda II Remake would be a safe bet, but, since this is the gaming industry, we will most likely see something very different. A complete new topdown Zelda would be a blast since A Link Between Worlds was awesome. But following recent trends and hints, this will most likely become a Remake of either Zelda I or Zelda II. Wouldn't mind if they remake both games.
57 people is more then enough enough for a mid size dev team.
Next Level games who did luigi's mansion: dark moon and federation force has 77. Intelligent Systems, which is seen as a "larger" studio with two dev teams managing several IP's (fire emblem, wario ware, pushmo, paper mario, codename steam) has 150 employees for example.
Most of nintendo's hub/2nd party/whatever studios are rather small. Do know that nintendo recently often uses Monolith Kyoto as a support studio for art assets and 3D models.
