Let's assume Ocarina of Time 3D sold well enough that Nintendo decides to give it another go. My first question is pretty simple; Do you think Nintendo should put forth an updated Ocarina of Time on the Switch, or do you think they should save that ace card until their next generation console?
If you do believe Ocarina of Time should return, what would you like to see? A visual remaster running on the same bones as the original? A complete remake similar to Final Fantasy 7?
I believe it would be a great launch title for whatever console succeeds the Nintendo Switch, and I'm not talking about a Switch Pro.
I don't want a fresh coat of paint on the exact same game with the exact same controls and cutscenes as the original game. It's time to build Ocarina of Time from the ground up. Follow the same overall plot threads from the original game, but flesh out the story with new information, for example; what happened to Link's parents who abandoned him in the forest? What happened to Zelda during the 7 year time skip? I think it would also be welcomed if they expanded on the origins of Ganondorf, or maybe show how he assumed control during the 7 year time skip. I'd be a big fan of pre-rendered cutscenes, though that may be a controversial opinion.
Expand upon the characters in the game. Add more interactions and dialogue, and give them daily routines similar to Majora's MaskZ. Ocarina of Time is teeming with interesting characters, it just needs to do more with them.
Expand upon all of the locations. Especially Hyrule Field. Make Hyrule Field more lively. People traveling on foot or horseback, traveling merchants, greater enemy variety, roaming bosses, so forth. Weather. Did I mention wildlife? Because wildlife.
Expand upon places like Hyrule Market, Zora's Domain, Goron City.
Add more detail to areas.
Ocarina of Time 3d knocked this out of the park on interiors such as shops and houses. I'd like to see locations like King Zora's throne room get a full fledged makeover, same with Darunia's Chambers. Breath of the Wild would be a great reference point. All of the different races were represented so well, with each location filled to the brim with so much culture and detail.
Lastly, let us win the fishing pole from the Fishing Pond. Seriously.
And make the useless masks more useful. And add more masks with different perks.
This should be the bar for visuals, at least.
That's all I've got, Era. This is still my favorite game of all time. I think it always will be. I want to see it reincarnated as something fresh and new, while getting to relive that classic experience in glorious detail.
