      They were remade for wiiu so all nintendo has to do is port them. Oot and majora mask were remade on 3ds, and they look great. Nintendo could port those too. Cheer up. It could happen..

It is more a bit of greed, as they do not think re-releasing a game people have already played will make them 'more' money than when they initially released it.

      Wouldn't have given SS a perfect 10 to begin with, maybe 8.5 - 9. But to me, assuming everyone played the game 10 years ago and thus slashing the score is illogical. Many recent remakes are solid standalone experiences just as well as era-defining iconic games. Would be shame if non-veterans avoided them only because reviewers deflate the scores.

Each Zelda is different and unique, botw is not the perfect of the series, is the newest for now.. Ocarina of time, A Link to the Past, Majoras Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight princess, and many others are incredible and they are legendary, just stop saying botw is the best one, it has his place in the legendary spot as well but stop comparing all Zelda with botw.
