Or even a Zelda 1 remake where it greatly expands on the original map and areas and monsters to really experience the first "open world" Zelda game in new and fresh ways.
Ok, if they were going to modernize Ocarina of Time, and given 2026 is the series' 40th anniversary, but given the original Ocarina of Time came out in '98, could it be possible for them to release a modern version of the game for it's 30th anniversary in 2028? Food for thought in my opinion.
I just want a more linear and present story and real dungeons. Keep the exploration open world aspect tho just make the dungeons unaccessable until a certain point in the story or level or item. Idk why this would be so impossible to do. We can have open world with a linear story easy
I'd say that it depends how it's structured. I would love too see more dungeons that are like the lightning temple but a bit longer and without terminals.
I don't like every single part of a map being accessible from the beginning. It feels like I have cheat codes on and it means you could go to a few dangerous exciting harder areas meant for later then do some boring easy ones later which is HORRIBLE gameplay. There's a reason there's been a damn gameplay structure all these years, breaking it leads to garbage. Plus it's exciting getting some new equipment or vehicle allowing you to explore MORE of the game rather than basically having the same level of freedom at the start as you would have at the end. That's not rewarding or exciting.
I'd say no to the open world unless their is still alot of sections inaccessible until you get this item from this dungeon. This way the draw to return to specific area would be greater thus making it worth while to play the game longer
The story has always been a problem with Zelda. It's not really a series with a cohesive storyline, it's just a bunch of independent cobbled-together poorly written copy-cat plots. They need to make a game that actually explores a stable and reasonable lore that won't be changing drastically game to game.
Also 2026 is the 40th anniversary of the Zelda series and I don’t think they’d have a new 3D game in time so a remake does make sense as an anniversary title. A new 2D is also possible, but a remake would probably take the least amount of time to make in the window they have.
At this point I don't think Nintendo ever intentionally tries to release something on an anniversary, they don't prioritize rushing something to release in time. More like they acknowledge the anniversary because they happened to have something ready to release that year.
And a remake of Ocarina of Time for the 40th anniversary just seems arbitrary. If they were going to remake any title for a big anniversary, I imagine it'd be Zelda 1.

I don't want a remake. I want a new good zelda game, not more of this open world garbage. I played ocarina of time. It was great. I'm not going to play it again just with enhanced graphics. I want to play a NEW good zelda game, part of a zelda game's charm is discovering things for the first time anyway so what good is a damn remake. if they only way the can make a good zelda game these days is by remaking the old ones then that's hilariously pathetic.
@@TheRealTact You realize that the 3DS version of Ocarina sold like gang busters, right? And it was the same game with enhanced graphics. Stop with that "nobody wants" nonsense.
@@Vaquix000 as much as I agree with you about the open world games being a bit much at times (even though I wouldn’t say they’re trash), I have to be completely honest with you. As someone who played Ocarina of Time already, if they remastered it with modern graphics for the switch or switch 2 - I’m buying that shit in a heartbeat 😂
Yeah, besides the director for the Zelda movie said he was taking a short break after his last movie (I believe it was planet of the apes), and then moving on to the early planning of the Zelda movie, so we definitely aren’t getting the Zelda movie for a bit
I do believe that one day a Ocarina of Time Remake will happen it needs to but I don't want Nintendo to take Ocarina of Time and turn it in to a Open World Game like BOTW and TOTK it would ruin the magic of the original Ocarina of Time and it's 3DS Remaster.
@@robertwaldronpalmer9572 if they're going to Remake Ocarina of Time the critically acclaim best Game of all time then they need to do right not just for the new Fans but old Fans as well.
@@kyguy3242 I'm out against making the map a bit larger as long as it feels similar to the Original Game you know you have your Lon Lon Ranch in the middle, you got Death Mountain up in the high corner of the map and the Lost Woods to right but making it Open World is a different story
i would love a Majoras Mask sequel instead of an upscaling or remake. Twilight Princess art style with a Majoras Mask plot would be amazing. aw man, if we dont get that i think im going to start developing it myself (but not really). i think im hyped for this. i think its going to be my next favorite. whatever it is, its going to be special.
Switching between Link and Zelda based on the story could be nice. I think it could be awesome to have an Ocarina of time remake with Zelda having her own playable part of the story as an example.
That would make Everything so much more complex again because They want to have always a Happy End. But I really Like That idea. I would wish there Are more Zelda Games with a more sad ending like Majoras mask.
There was a comment on Andres’ video claiming the “no comment” comment was also said in English rather than through the translator just like the “maybe” comment further strengthening the idea of it being a tease.
Ocarina of Time was my introduction to the Legend of Zelda series. I do hope that if they are going to remake Ocarina of Time, they actually make a new one that also still captures the feeling of the original but also is more ambitious in scale. Considering all of the things that have been happening in the world, I could use a rekindling of that feeling from when I was a kid.
maybe make BOTH games as one as Ocarina was downsized to what we got, Ura zelda was made FOR original ocarian of time, Majora's mask exist, As GREAT as it is, as a met challenge of making a zelda game in a year, and they DONT do ura zelda, and it used the original content of it, like the areas ocarina was supposed to have, which ended up being Termina's dungeons!
@@brofistbro Man we're still dreaming for ura Zelda. XDD I do would love to see extra content in a OoT remake. upgrade the world maps, make me excited and surprised!
I trust Aonuma ideals for the next Zelda game. However I want newer Zelda games to just be similar to "Ocarina of Time" or "A link to the past" game play wise. I loved BOTW but i wanted a shorter Zelda game that makes me want to replay it with harder challenges with in the same story to emphasizing how difficult Link's journey actually was, just to save the world and Zelda.
That stutter at 12:28 shows how hard he's trying to remember things, I feel like Echo's of Wisdom is just a distraction to keep up occupied with Switch 2, because they are working on something else huge. It's kind of funny how I make these crazy predictions days before anyone else, & then hear their thoughts and turn out to be right once release comes. I guess it just shows how great the Zelda games are. It's amazing how Nintendo has brought together this amazing over the years. The nostalgia right now...
What are you going in about? The stutter was about picking the correct wording to talk about the difference between a from the ground up remake and what Ocarina of Time 3D did. I didn’t forget anything in this instance or work hard to remember a game I’ve beaten dozens of times. 😊
I wish Nintendo would establish two separate _Zelda_ teams… one takes five years to develop enormous and groundbreaking new titles, and the other focuses on smaller 2D games and remakes that can come out more frequently. I’d actually prefer some HD pixel art remakes of the older 2D games to an _Ocarina of Time_ remake… but if they do it, I hope it’s more of a reimagining, with a bigger world, revamped combat, and completely new dungeon designs… but also keeping the atmosphere, tone, and themes of the original 👌
I would love to have all the Gameboy, ds and 3ds games remade in the art style of links awakening and echoes of wisdom... I love that art style... I would even be open to the idea of taking a 2d game and making it 3d, minish cap would be awesome in 3d I think
@@SubterraneousCopley - ehh… I don’t love the shininess it has, though _Echoes_ looks better than _Link’s Awakening._ mostly, I love how in the past each _Zelda_ game had it’s own unique art style, with only a few re-using older styles. I want them to get back to that 👍
Should we rule out a Zelda 1 remake with the 40th anniversary coming up? Just imagine what that world and story would be like if it was more fleshed out, 3D, "open world" in the sense it claims to be, but still a dungeon/item/boss setup. Could add new items, and a few new abilities, especially fighting abilities and weapons to pick up. More story as well, and interaction with Ganon throughout with him trying to stop you.
ocarina of time with a new story and tears of the kingdom sized map and new monsters would be a dream come true. I have never enjoyed a game so much in my life that has seen me replay it over and over. Always an amazing experience playing a game from my childhood that has the dynamics of current games lacking only the graphics. Improving and even expanding hell even a complete revamp would be out of this world for me!
An idea I had for a game is called Realm Of Dissonance. It takes place during the Era Of Chaos (the creepy cutscene in Twilight Princess). The story is that it's before Hyrule is founded as a Kingdom and the Interlopers were a group of rogue Sheikah, seeking the power of the Goddess from Zelda. Link's companion is a detractor from the group named Gerano. Once the story concluded and Hyrule is established it explains why the Sheikah are the guardians for the Royal Family.
I wish we could get a spin-off series of Zelda games where you play as your own character doing quests and maintaining the tide against monsters so that the Hero of that age can focus on his fight against Ganon. Maybe even a small party of myriad characters with simple but relatable stories to tell without diminishing the significance of the distant Hero.
I don't know how you do it .. Everyday searching for content knowing there's nothing new to report so you're just making stuff up. It's really hard and you can't use the words: 'massive leaks' every day in your title so you have to blablablabla for 10 minutes. Congrats. I couldn't do it.
Thank you for these amazing news. I also read on an interview that aonuma is working on a game and when asked if that game is a Zelda he also said "I can't say" clearly saying with his words for gods sake YES and when asked if he cheats his wife also said "I can't answer that" further raising suspicions and confirming that he is and lastly when asked if the next game will be released on switch 2 he clearly stated "haha yes" so clearly thats a no as of past interviews indicate that he's a trickster
2026 IS Zelda's 40th, a remake of one of it's most iconic games, as well as the game that inspired tons of other classic game franchises, would seem to make sense. Maybe they'll even spoil us with a teaser of what the next new game in the franchise will look like.
I think it would be cool to have a ocarina of time reboot in the new timeline, maybe mixed with MM. Could just call it "the legend of zelda Hero of time" and have to fight Ganjora at the end. Could be after you beat ganon, you have to start a new main quest to do majoras quests. Then if you collect or do certain things, major and ganon can combine, like a final super boss.
I’ve been feeling kind of since Wind Waker HD and definitely since Link’s Awakening getting a total remake that it’s only a matter of time before they do this with the original 3D classics. I also REALLY want a Zelda II remake because I can’t see myself ever playing the original lol.
Everything you said makes so much sense! If they make an ocarina of time modern remake, I would lose my shit! That's like my favorite all time, Zelda game and the reason how I got into Zelda! And I can't wait for the movie to come out. That's gonna be so awesome. I was really hoping they would make one day and I'm so glad they are!
I just really hope the next Zelda feels like a fresh start. Every 3D Zelda game aside from direct sequels like MM and Tears had their own identity. A different art style, a different tone, different gameplay mechanics, a different feel to the gameplay right down to the movement of Link. Majora's Mask still had the 3 day cycle, the masks, and a completely new setting, but Tears did very little to feel different than botw.
I think you're spot on. I expect a movie tie in game. They will probably go with an expanded Ocarina of Time story. I expect the game world to be more open like BoTW/ToTK maybe even copying the map a little. I also think they are going to keep core features like climbing and stamina so the newer players don't complain. Hopefully weapons are more permanent
I LOVE how you laid out your sources here in sections. Like evidence. This gets me really excited, but I was wondering if I should still my hopes because maybe there's examples of Aonuma commenting on distinct, exciting things that DIDN'T end up becoming confirmed teases. You later mention him denying things, as opposed to being vague, which is probably the best detail you point out. This is such a good video! We live in constant remakes, now. I am worried about getting a remake of OoT, even if it was rebuilt in many ways. (Like a retelling, with new mechanics.) More than anything, I would want it to be a passion project from the devs, when it comes to the intention of it. Not the scale or detail, but the reason why it exists. Artists have finite lives and time with working together on beloved projects. I would want to play another OoT that, even if it came from financial strategy, is crafted with un-pandering passion. Nostalgia which comes from iterating on the understanding of the original work, like Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
I’ve been dying for a oot remake. I think it would be awesome for the newer generation to experience the amazing adventure that the older generation experienced, but in a new form. I played oot when I was 6, my dad showed me the game, and I loved it. But imagine an oot remake and you get to use all of links sword techniques, that would be dope asf. (Hero’s shade hidden sword techniques)
fun fact: I firmly believe that Rauru from OoT was the king of Hyrule of this era or perhaps of an earlier era because if we look at the other sages they are all the leaders of their clan or their species, and above all, with Rauru from TotK I am more convinced of it.
You actually missed a tease that fits with a possible Ocarina of Time remake. At the end of the Echos of Wisdom reveal when he's handing comentary back over, he says he's doing so after the "moment he's stolen away". A "stolen moment" could be seen as "stolen time" and well, Link got sealed for 7 years and lost the rest of his childhood.
I don’t think we could definitely say it’s a tease yet, without the full context of what echoes of wisdom ultimately is as it can just be a reference to the new game. Hence sticking with things we know for certain were.
I'd definitely prefer a NEW Zelda in the classic style, and if they do remake Ocarina of Time they better stick to its fundamental design - having said that, I'll take it if it's done well.
they need to add tons of stuff in there if they make it, it's not enough to simply do the old game, but this might split the fan base. I want a re imagined OoT with lots more content.
It would also possibly make since if the remake were released in late 2025. Closing out that year with their new console with a remake of one of the most legendary games ever made would be a great holiday title. Also if the Zelda movie is released early in 2026 the OoT remake could also be a decent marketing tactic for that movie.
Aonuma is the most reliable Zelda leaker out there. The thing that I find appealing about the OoT remake rumor is that footage of it would do a great job selling the Switch 2 in N’s promotional materials.
If it's going to be a remake of OoT, sure, why not. But I hope they don't change too much and especially don't make it easier. The 3D Remake had some minor changes that made things easier which I personally didn't like (e. g. markings in Water Temple to the spots for water changing, in the original you had to actually search for them).
Especially with what the literal Ocarina of Time does in-game, the devs can run wild with side quests (and maybe even main story) for both Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask.
I knew what the game he was going to mention before clicking on the video, and I 100% agree with him. I'm calling it right now, we're getting a modern OOT. The same treatment the resident evil got. With the new hardware, this will make an amazing holiday 2025 title. I dont believe it will be a launch title with a new Zelda coming out so soon.
Imagine if they done a modernised realistic graphics of ocarina of time, master quest. With in depth creations on costume colors and weapons engravings and desighns like red dead 2
I'd say we'll get the OoT remake in late 2026. As long as Switch 2 has Switch backwards compatibility and software enhancements (e.g., improved resolution and performance via software patch), that'll tie us over until then.
I think they should remake OOT, but I think they need to do it on the next system and they really need to expand and exaggerate on its elements. I think they should follow up on a prequel too. Expand on how Hyrule came to be.
I, like everyone else, would be thrilled to be able to explore the OoT world reimagined and with more detail. Am I the only one who wishes I could explore the world after winning the game? I’m that person who enjoys the exploration aspect of Zelda more than the gameplay itself 😅 I want to run around exploring and talking to NPCs after I’ve saved the world to see how it changes
I'm not sure if Nintendo would want to make an OOT remake because the original is available through the N64 Switch Online titles, and as for remakes, it would have to blow the PC Port of OOT out of the water -- and I'm not saying that Nintendo couldn't blow the PC port out of the water, but I'm not sure they'd want to put that much effort into remaking OOT... We're all expecting a full blown new Switch2 3D Zelda title, and if the Switch2 is coming out in 2025, it needs to have some amazing classic Nintendo titles within the first year. This means some sort of 3D Mario title that compares to Mario Odyssey, and also a new 3D Zelda title coming down the pipe by the end of 2026, otherwise they are seriously breaking their standard model. I think we really expected TotK to be a Switch2 title, but that didn't happen -- and Nintendo kept saying that they had a _lot_ of left over ideas for BotW that were originally planned as DLC, and this all became TotK... which was jam packed with content. So what if Nintendo has already been working on a (completely new) 3D Switch2 Zelda title for a few years -- in parallel with TotK? There's been rumours of Switch2 hardware for years, and that different game development companies were already working on Switch2 titles with dev kits a few years back... ...if any of that is true... then why would Nintendo themselves not have already been long working on Switch2 titles? The original rumours for the Switch2 release date was December 2021, but the pandemic and resulting turmoil replaced the Switch2 with the Switch OLED. What if Nintendo had originally been planning for a new platform Switch2 3D Zelda title to be released in 2022... but it wasn't the right time for the hardware? Maybe we got TotK as a new Switch game (rather than BotW DLCs) because the real next 3D Zelda game required the delayed Switch2 hardware, and TotK became a consolation prize to tide us over. They knew they had extra time to stretch out the development, and make it far more than their original DLC plans could ever be. It's possible that planning for the Switch2 Zelda title started soon after the BotW release, based on the planned Switch2 hardware capabilities at that time. Not full tilt, but proof of concept engine prototypes based on next generation hardware. This could have been a project spanning a couple years (2018-2020) until it became clear that the Switch2 would be delayed by 3-4 years. This doesn't mean that work on the Switch2 Zelda title halted completely, and I'm sure that it was on hold for a year or two, but what if a small team has actually been working on it since 2018? (Or maybe not so small?) Even with the project on hold for a year or two, that could allow for a full six years of development coinciding with a one year window of launching the Switch2.
C’mon, gimme a modern Majoras mask! Same game but new graphics, not just a higher resolution version of the 64 bit. And perhaps some MINOR tweaks to make it smoother and to refresh challenge for those who have all the puzzles and side quests memorized.
Probably gonna be the first Zelda being remade for the 40th anniversary. Possibly sooner or later gonna be an oracle remake duo, though minish cap was also big.
We need a Skyward Sword prequel with left-handed Link as the main protag. It'd be very bloody. Maybe some language AND action. And have Link AND Hylia as a power couple. Link died a very slow death in the manga, so make his death very slow like Hamlet's death, but as Link's heroic sacrifice so he saves the world from Demise. Make the finale bittersweet, but more hopeful with a happy high note.
IF this is true, a OoT remake with BotW engine would be awesome. Expand the game, adding in more creatures, remove weapon durability, have dungeon entrances be like shrine entrances but still climbable on the outside, have underwater exploration, etc. This would he so hype!!!
I believe they don’t have a pattern on what Zelda is next other than 2D and 3D they always like to innovate into new things for every Zelda games, tho I believe they’ve been making ocarina of time remake for a couples of years ago.
@@NintyPrime It's too vague for me to care to be honest lol. If it comes out, it'll be a pleasant surprise. Otherwise, it's anticipation for something that might never happen. At this point, OoT Remake = HL3. Maybe I'll be wrong.
Here's how I interpret Aonuma responses: "It's not happening" = We wouldn't even consider doing that. It goes against what we do and stand for. "No comment" = It's a possibility, but we have about 15 other ideas for our next Zelda game, and haven't decided upon any of them for sure yet.
I’d love to see Nintendo partner with meta for a vr Zelda experience. Perhaps toon Zelda like minish cap or wind waker. Or something like breath of the wild. Even if it’s just a dungeon puzzle game where they remake some select dungeons you can experience.
The thing is its more likely nintendo uses OoT 3DS and retextures the game and remasters music and or they give it the prime remastered treatment when it only has the same code basically and EVERYTHING including world models and npc and player models gets remade to where they're in that grey area of is it a remake or remaster. Same for majoras mask. But yeah we will get those in due time. Really right now I want the oracle games remade.
Many people who worked on FF7 Remake wanted the new generation to be able to find these older games we played in our youth as immersive for todays standards and the new audiences .. so this is very much a possibility considering it's probably the highest rated game of all time along with ff7 . Give it up for blonde haired blue eyes swordsmen! is their time again. I just hope they expand the game and flesh it out to make it larger and a longer play through but leave ALL key elements and motifs.
Wasnt there a dev kit shown off to devs a couple of years ago with a zelda tech demo that was very ocarina like or similar to the tech demo with the spider in the temple? May be connected. All speculation of course
Honestly if they remake OoT For Switch 2, it NEEDS a built in randomizer, if it doesn't have that as an optional feature when starting a new file, then I'm sorry no official port of OoT will ever outshine Ship of Harkanian.
I need a full OOT remake in my lifetime. No ifs ands or buts. Playing great remakes like RE2 and RE4 recently have given me hope you can take a timeless masterpiece and improve on it. Don’t let me down Nintendo!

I think first year of Switch 2 is more likely, but not at launch. They want to sell totally new games at launch.

That would be more of a reimagining if they made it open world
open world is good , botw lacked temples and bosses
@@robertwaldronpalmer9572 if they're going to Remake Ocarina of Time the critically acclaim best Game of all time then they need to do right not just for the new Fans but old Fans as well.
I'd be fine with them making the map/overworld a bit larger, but that's it.
@@kyguy3242 I'm out against making the map a bit larger as long as it feels similar to the Original Game you know you have your Lon Lon Ranch in the middle, you got Death Mountain up in the high corner of the map and the Lost Woods to right but making it Open World is a different story
If we get an OoT remake from the ground up? That lights a small hope that we'll get a MM remake sometime after. That'll blow my mind.
That would be a dream come true.
A MM remake would be absolutely terrifying but in the best way
i would love a Majoras Mask sequel instead of an upscaling or remake. Twilight Princess art style with a Majoras Mask plot would be amazing. aw man, if we dont get that i think im going to start developing it myself (but not really). i think im hyped for this. i think its going to be my next favorite. whatever it is, its going to be special.

Switching between Link and Zelda based on the story could be nice. I think it could be awesome to have an Ocarina of time remake with Zelda having her own playable part of the story as an example.
If anything they should do that for SS. Considering that was a mode that was supposed to be available after beating the story as Link.
No
@@Icedxylophone nah dawg. You guys finally got your playable Zelda game and you're already asking for this?
@@trevorbruce1267 Asking for? No, but if it's gonna happen, they should make something that's fun to play.
@@Icedxylophone yeah, the original was terrible and no fun at all bc you couldn't play as Zelda 😞
One thing I wish the new Zelda would improve upon is to somehow add a little more flexibility to the size of the weapons cache.
I'm still hoping for a hyrule warriors set during the imprisoning war.
The totk one or the alttp one? Because I desperately want them to revisit the old timeline and show us the gap between oot and alttp.
Ohhhh I like this idea! I enjoyed the recent one more than I thought I would tbh 🤷💯
Demon King?
Secret Stone?
...
...
...
So that was the Imprisoning war.
That would make Everything so much more complex again because They want to have always a Happy End. But I really Like That idea. I would wish there Are more Zelda Games with a more sad ending like Majoras mask.
@ellentaylor6883 I'm all for more Hyrule Warriors but I hope the gameplay would be more like the original.
There was a comment on Andres’ video claiming the “no comment” comment was also said in English rather than through the translator just like the “maybe” comment further strengthening the idea of it being a tease.
Ocarina of Time was my introduction to the Legend of Zelda series. I do hope that if they are going to remake Ocarina of Time, they actually make a new one that also still captures the feeling of the original but also is more ambitious in scale. Considering all of the things that have been happening in the world, I could use a rekindling of that feeling from when I was a kid.
"Maybe maybe maybe" could be him echoing himself.
NINTENDO PLEASE MAKE OOT & MM REMAKES AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!!!
maybe make BOTH games as one as Ocarina was downsized to what we got, Ura zelda was made FOR original ocarian of time, Majora's mask exist, As GREAT as it is, as a met challenge of making a zelda game in a year, and they DONT do ura zelda, and it used the original content of it, like the areas ocarina was supposed to have, which ended up being Termina's dungeons!
@@brofistbro Man we're still dreaming for ura Zelda. XDD I do would love to see extra content in a OoT remake. upgrade the world maps, make me excited and surprised!
You said a whole lot of nothing
Glad im not the only one thinking that
Did you guys accidentally mute the video? It's okay, understandable mistake
@@focusedonfuture3255 did you mute the video or something?? Ig its easy to do on tv
@@WashingMachineYT988 No. He just spewed a bunch of nothing. Thinking he said anything of meaning is just cope lol
Yeah he said a lot of words but hardly anything earth shattering. It’s pretty common with this channel.
He’s the master of clickbait.
I trust Aonuma ideals for the next Zelda game. However I want newer Zelda games to just be similar to "Ocarina of Time" or "A link to the past" game play wise. I loved BOTW but i wanted a shorter Zelda game that makes me want to replay it with harder challenges with in the same story to emphasizing how difficult Link's journey actually was, just to save the world and Zelda.
I mean, imho neither of those games are hard gameplay wise. The only hard Zelda game is Zelda 2, imho.
I love to see a full remake of Zelda 2 or Zelda Ocarina of Time, similar love how FF7 Remake or Super Mario RPG received
That stutter at 12:28 shows how hard he's trying to remember things, I feel like Echo's of Wisdom is just a distraction to keep up occupied with Switch 2, because they are working on something else huge. It's kind of funny how I make these crazy predictions days before anyone else, & then hear their thoughts and turn out to be right once release comes. I guess it just shows how great the Zelda games are. It's amazing how Nintendo has brought together this amazing over the years. The nostalgia right now...
What are you going in about? The stutter was about picking the correct wording to talk about the difference between a from the ground up remake and what Ocarina of Time 3D did.
I didn’t forget anything in this instance or work hard to remember a game I’ve beaten dozens of times. 😊
I wish Nintendo would establish two separate _Zelda_ teams… one takes five years to develop enormous and groundbreaking new titles, and the other focuses on smaller 2D games and remakes that can come out more frequently.
I’d actually prefer some HD pixel art remakes of the older 2D games to an _Ocarina of Time_ remake… but if they do it, I hope it’s more of a reimagining, with a bigger world, revamped combat, and completely new dungeon designs… but also keeping the atmosphere, tone, and themes of the original 👌
I would love to have all the Gameboy, ds and 3ds games remade in the art style of links awakening and echoes of wisdom... I love that art style... I would even be open to the idea of taking a 2d game and making it 3d, minish cap would be awesome in 3d I think
@@SubterraneousCopley - ehh… I don’t love the shininess it has, though _Echoes_ looks better than _Link’s Awakening._ mostly, I love how in the past each _Zelda_ game had it’s own unique art style, with only a few re-using older styles. I want them to get back to that 👍
here i am just hoping the music element returns to the zelda games as i felt that is lacking in the recent games....
Same
Aonuma: Think what you will *laughs*
RUclipsr: I think you just admitted Majora's Mask remake is happening!!!!
Should we rule out a Zelda 1 remake with the 40th anniversary coming up? Just imagine what that world and story would be like if it was more fleshed out, 3D, "open world" in the sense it claims to be, but still a dungeon/item/boss setup. Could add new items, and a few new abilities, especially fighting abilities and weapons to pick up. More story as well, and interaction with Ganon throughout with him trying to stop you.
I would love to have a remake of OOT. That's the game that got me into the Zelda series!
ocarina of time with a new story and tears of the kingdom sized map and new monsters would be a dream come true. I have never enjoyed a game so much in my life that has seen me replay it over and over. Always an amazing experience playing a game from my childhood that has the dynamics of current games lacking only the graphics. Improving and even expanding hell even a complete revamp would be out of this world for me!
sounds like you just want a new game with the zelda formula that botw/totk threw away lol
@@bojaidin that's kinda true but I also want that oot vibe
So... we all need to watch Aonuma-san very closely
Ocarina of Time remastered on Nintendo's next console as a launch title to show off the new console's power would be amazing.
An idea I had for a game is called Realm Of Dissonance. It takes place during the Era Of Chaos (the creepy cutscene in Twilight Princess). The story is that it's before Hyrule is founded as a Kingdom and the Interlopers were a group of rogue Sheikah, seeking the power of the Goddess from Zelda. Link's companion is a detractor from the group named Gerano. Once the story concluded and Hyrule is established it explains why the Sheikah are the guardians for the Royal Family.
I would be so down for that
I’ve been calling it for years! Zelda 2 hd2d. Raru as a town was the first appearance of the name in Zelda I believe.
Man, I’d love a modern OoT!
I wish we could get a spin-off series of Zelda games where you play as your own character doing quests and maintaining the tide against monsters so that the Hero of that age can focus on his fight against Ganon. Maybe even a small party of myriad characters with simple but relatable stories to tell without diminishing the significance of the distant Hero.
I don't know how you do it .. Everyday searching for content knowing there's nothing new to report so you're just making stuff up. It's really hard and you can't use the words: 'massive leaks' every day in your title so you have to blablablabla for 10 minutes. Congrats. I couldn't do it.
Nothing in this video is “made up” though?
@@NintyPrime Yes it is. Absolutely nothing has been teased about the next Zelda game. "No comment," is not a tease!
@@NintyPrime I am ready for the legend of zelda live action movie to get released in june 2025.
@@NintyPrimeAlmost everything is made up in your videos
You sound like trump talking about a secret he doesn’t really know much about but wants to sound like he knows a lot and that everyone else doesn’t.
Thank you for these amazing news.
I also read on an interview that aonuma is working on a game and when asked if that game is a Zelda he also said "I can't say" clearly saying with his words for gods sake YES and when asked if he cheats his wife also said "I can't answer that" further raising suspicions and confirming that he is and lastly when asked if the next game will be released on switch 2 he clearly stated "haha yes" so clearly thats a no as of past interviews indicate that he's a trickster
2026 IS Zelda's 40th, a remake of one of it's most iconic games, as well as the game that inspired tons of other classic game franchises, would seem to make sense. Maybe they'll even spoil us with a teaser of what the next new game in the franchise will look like.
You know what would be really cool is a beautiful full remake of OOT and then the Ura Zelda expansion that never happened.
I think it would be cool to have a ocarina of time reboot in the new timeline, maybe mixed with MM. Could just call it "the legend of zelda Hero of time" and have to fight Ganjora at the end. Could be after you beat ganon, you have to start a new main quest to do majoras quests. Then if you collect or do certain things, major and ganon can combine, like a final super boss.
I’ve been feeling kind of since Wind Waker HD and definitely since Link’s Awakening getting a total remake that it’s only a matter of time before they do this with the original 3D classics. I also REALLY want a Zelda II remake because I can’t see myself ever playing the original lol.
Everything you said makes so much sense! If they make an ocarina of time modern remake, I would lose my shit! That's like my favorite all time, Zelda game and the reason how I got into Zelda! And I can't wait for the movie to come out. That's gonna be so awesome. I was really hoping they would make one day and I'm so glad they are!
If we get an OoT remake, all it needs to be is a touch-up of the 3ds version.
That version already looks surprisingly decent in HD as it is.
I just really hope the next Zelda feels like a fresh start. Every 3D Zelda game aside from direct sequels like MM and Tears had their own identity. A different art style, a different tone, different gameplay mechanics, a different feel to the gameplay right down to the movement of Link. Majora's Mask still had the 3 day cycle, the masks, and a completely new setting, but Tears did very little to feel different than botw.
I think you're spot on. I expect a movie tie in game. They will probably go with an expanded Ocarina of Time story. I expect the game world to be more open like BoTW/ToTK maybe even copying the map a little. I also think they are going to keep core features like climbing and stamina so the newer players don't complain. Hopefully weapons are more permanent
You've covered this already...
This is just an in depth look at every time he’s teased stuff the last 11 years to show why it makes sense.
I LOVE how you laid out your sources here in sections. Like evidence. This gets me really excited, but I was wondering if I should still my hopes because maybe there's examples of Aonuma commenting on distinct, exciting things that DIDN'T end up becoming confirmed teases. You later mention him denying things, as opposed to being vague, which is probably the best detail you point out. This is such a good video!
We live in constant remakes, now. I am worried about getting a remake of OoT, even if it was rebuilt in many ways. (Like a retelling, with new mechanics.) More than anything, I would want it to be a passion project from the devs, when it comes to the intention of it. Not the scale or detail, but the reason why it exists. Artists have finite lives and time with working together on beloved projects. I would want to play another OoT that, even if it came from financial strategy, is crafted with un-pandering passion. Nostalgia which comes from iterating on the understanding of the original work, like Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Holyf, if they do that Remake........
for an Ocarina of TIme remake i would like everything top be redone. All textures,camera, everything. Even the 3ds version feels like an old game
I’ve been dying for a oot remake. I think it would be awesome for the newer generation to experience the amazing adventure that the older generation experienced, but in a new form. I played oot when I was 6, my dad showed me the game, and I loved it. But imagine an oot remake and you get to use all of links sword techniques, that would be dope asf. (Hero’s shade hidden sword techniques)
fun fact: I firmly believe that Rauru from OoT was the king of Hyrule of this era or perhaps of an earlier era because if we look at the other sages they are all the leaders of their clan or their species, and above all, with Rauru from TotK I am more convinced of it.
You actually missed a tease that fits with a possible Ocarina of Time remake. At the end of the Echos of Wisdom reveal when he's handing comentary back over, he says he's doing so after the "moment he's stolen away". A "stolen moment" could be seen as "stolen time" and well, Link got sealed for 7 years and lost the rest of his childhood.
I don’t think we could definitely say it’s a tease yet, without the full context of what echoes of wisdom ultimately is as it can just be a reference to the new game. Hence sticking with things we know for certain were.
I'd definitely prefer a NEW Zelda in the classic style, and if they do remake Ocarina of Time they better stick to its fundamental design - having said that, I'll take it if it's done well.
they need to add tons of stuff in there if they make it, it's not enough to simply do the old game, but this might split the fan base. I want a re imagined OoT with lots more content.
I'd expect the new ocarina of time remake for the 30th anniversary of the original
The new legend of zelda game is echoes of wisdom
It would also possibly make since if the remake were released in late 2025. Closing out that year with their new console with a remake of one of the most legendary games ever made would be a great holiday title. Also if the Zelda movie is released early in 2026 the OoT remake could also be a decent marketing tactic for that movie.
I know it's because I've been going through a lot but the thought of a Time remake seriously made my tear up. lmao
Aonuma is the most reliable Zelda leaker out there. The thing that I find appealing about the OoT remake rumor is that footage of it would do a great job selling the Switch 2 in N’s promotional materials.
If it's going to be a remake of OoT, sure, why not. But I hope they don't change too much and especially don't make it easier. The 3D Remake had some minor changes that made things easier which I personally didn't like (e. g. markings in Water Temple to the spots for water changing, in the original you had to actually search for them).
Especially with what the literal Ocarina of Time does in-game, the devs can run wild with side quests (and maybe even main story) for both Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask.
Thanks for digging around for these bits of info Nate!
Great stuff
SUBSCRIBED! You made me a believer! My favorite video of this week that I've watched.
I knew what the game he was going to mention before clicking on the video, and I 100% agree with him. I'm calling it right now, we're getting a modern OOT. The same treatment the resident evil got.
With the new hardware, this will make an amazing holiday 2025 title. I dont believe it will be a launch title with a new Zelda coming out so soon.
Imagine if they done a modernised realistic graphics of ocarina of time, master quest. With in depth creations on costume colors and weapons engravings and desighns like red dead 2
I'd say we'll get the OoT remake in late 2026. As long as Switch 2 has Switch backwards compatibility and software enhancements (e.g., improved resolution and performance via software patch), that'll tie us over until then.
I think they should remake OOT, but I think they need to do it on the next system and they really need to expand and exaggerate on its elements. I think they should follow up on a prequel too. Expand on how Hyrule came to be.
I, like everyone else, would be thrilled to be able to explore the OoT world reimagined and with more detail. Am I the only one who wishes I could explore the world after winning the game? I’m that person who enjoys the exploration aspect of Zelda more than the gameplay itself 😅 I want to run around exploring and talking to NPCs after I’ve saved the world to see how it changes
I'm not sure if Nintendo would want to make an OOT remake because the original is available through the N64 Switch Online titles, and as for remakes, it would have to blow the PC Port of OOT out of the water -- and I'm not saying that Nintendo couldn't blow the PC port out of the water, but I'm not sure they'd want to put that much effort into remaking OOT...
We're all expecting a full blown new Switch2 3D Zelda title, and if the Switch2 is coming out in 2025, it needs to have some amazing classic Nintendo titles within the first year. This means some sort of 3D Mario title that compares to Mario Odyssey, and also a new 3D Zelda title coming down the pipe by the end of 2026, otherwise they are seriously breaking their standard model.
I think we really expected TotK to be a Switch2 title, but that didn't happen -- and Nintendo kept saying that they had a _lot_ of left over ideas for BotW that were originally planned as DLC, and this all became TotK... which was jam packed with content.
So what if Nintendo has already been working on a (completely new) 3D Switch2 Zelda title for a few years -- in parallel with TotK?
There's been rumours of Switch2 hardware for years, and that different game development companies were already working on Switch2 titles with dev kits a few years back...
...if any of that is true... then why would Nintendo themselves not have already been long working on Switch2 titles?
The original rumours for the Switch2 release date was December 2021, but the pandemic and resulting turmoil replaced the Switch2 with the Switch OLED. What if Nintendo had originally been planning for a new platform Switch2 3D Zelda title to be released in 2022... but it wasn't the right time for the hardware?
Maybe we got TotK as a new Switch game (rather than BotW DLCs) because the real next 3D Zelda game required the delayed Switch2 hardware, and TotK became a consolation prize to tide us over. They knew they had extra time to stretch out the development, and make it far more than their original DLC plans could ever be.
It's possible that planning for the Switch2 Zelda title started soon after the BotW release, based on the planned Switch2 hardware capabilities at that time. Not full tilt, but proof of concept engine prototypes based on next generation hardware. This could have been a project spanning a couple years (2018-2020) until it became clear that the Switch2 would be delayed by 3-4 years.
This doesn't mean that work on the Switch2 Zelda title halted completely, and I'm sure that it was on hold for a year or two, but what if a small team has actually been working on it since 2018? (Or maybe not so small?) Even with the project on hold for a year or two, that could allow for a full six years of development coinciding with a one year window of launching the Switch2.
What if him talking about the deku tree is actually a hint at a storyline about how the deku trees were originally created
C’mon, gimme a modern Majoras mask! Same game but new graphics, not just a higher resolution version of the 64 bit. And perhaps some MINOR tweaks to make it smoother and to refresh challenge for those who have all the puzzles and side quests memorized.
I'm so down for this! I still have my original copy lol.
Probably gonna be the first Zelda being remade for the 40th anniversary. Possibly sooner or later gonna be an oracle remake duo, though minish cap was also big.
We need a Skyward Sword prequel with left-handed Link as the main protag. It'd be very bloody. Maybe some language AND action. And have Link AND Hylia as a power couple. Link died a very slow death in the manga, so make his death very slow like Hamlet's death, but as Link's heroic sacrifice so he saves the world from Demise. Make the finale bittersweet, but more hopeful with a happy high note.
Yeah I agree that OOT remake is coming at some point and it's very exciting. :) That's still my all time favorite Zelda game to play! :D
IF this is true, a OoT remake with BotW engine would be awesome. Expand the game, adding in more creatures, remove weapon durability, have dungeon entrances be like shrine entrances but still climbable on the outside, have underwater exploration, etc. This would he so hype!!!
I believe they don’t have a pattern on what Zelda is next other than 2D and 3D they always like to innovate into new things for every Zelda games, tho I believe they’ve been making ocarina of time remake for a couples of years ago.
i would literally kill for a remake of the oracle games
To be fair "laugh" "no comment" is about the most common response to this kind of thing.
Except when other times he literally just says it's not happening, which he's done twice.
@@NintyPrime It's too vague for me to care to be honest lol. If it comes out, it'll be a pleasant surprise. Otherwise, it's anticipation for something that might never happen. At this point, OoT Remake = HL3. Maybe I'll be wrong.
Here's how I interpret Aonuma responses:
"It's not happening" = We wouldn't even consider doing that. It goes against what we do and stand for.
"No comment" = It's a possibility, but we have about 15 other ideas for our next Zelda game, and haven't decided upon any of them for sure yet.
OCARINA OF TIME PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏
I’d love to see Nintendo partner with meta for a vr Zelda experience. Perhaps toon Zelda like minish cap or wind waker. Or something like breath of the wild. Even if it’s just a dungeon puzzle game where they remake some select dungeons you can experience.
The thing is its more likely nintendo uses OoT 3DS and retextures the game and remasters music and or they give it the prime remastered treatment when it only has the same code basically and EVERYTHING including world models and npc and player models gets remade to where they're in that grey area of is it a remake or remaster. Same for majoras mask. But yeah we will get those in due time. Really right now I want the oracle games remade.
Many people who worked on FF7 Remake wanted the new generation to be able to find these older games we played in our youth as immersive for todays standards and the new audiences .. so this is very much a possibility considering it's probably the highest rated game of all time along with ff7 . Give it up for blonde haired blue eyes swordsmen! is their time again. I just hope they expand the game and flesh it out to make it larger and a longer play through but leave ALL key elements and motifs.
Let’s go Nintendo! Make this happen! Give us an incredible looking OoT remake for Switch 2. That would be so freaking awesome
I played OOT quite a bit a while ago but I never finished it and have struggled to get back in. This would be a dream come true.
Imagine if they were talented enough to make new classics (like OoT, MM, WW) that would be remade 20 years from now on.
I want the ocarina of time from Zelda’s pov. Play as Shiek, maybe switch back to Link at one point
Wasnt there a dev kit shown off to devs a couple of years ago with a zelda tech demo that was very ocarina like or similar to the tech demo with the spider in the temple? May be connected. All speculation of course
I think you're remembering the Wii U Demo, that I do remember seeing with very Unreal Engine type of vibes. Would have been amazing to have tbh
Honestly if they remake OoT For Switch 2, it NEEDS a built in randomizer, if it doesn't have that as an optional feature when starting a new file, then I'm sorry no official port of OoT will ever outshine Ship of Harkanian.
I hope that being they can put so much on cartridges now, they release a dual OOT/Mm Modern Day Remake
it would be nice if they change the camera angle when you enter places. i would love to move around freely in the hyrule market 😄
I need a full OOT remake in my lifetime. No ifs ands or buts. Playing great remakes like RE2 and RE4 recently have given me hope you can take a timeless masterpiece and improve on it. Don’t let me down Nintendo!
I'd be interested in a re-imagining of Ocarina of Time like the treatment of Final Fantasy VII.
Man I love Aonuma, he’s just a gamer who understands the community
There’s a lot of iconic laughing in Majora’s Mask though…
They need continue to make open world Zelda game. Period
