There just doesn’t seem to be enough Zelda going around these days, despite the recent influx of content. Whether it’s demanding that Skyward Sword finally be released, dreaming of an HD game on the new Wii U, or even replaying an old favorite in the glorious third dimension, Zelda fans just can’t get enough. One of the creative forces behind the series has some good news, recently claiming in an interview that a remake of Majora’s Mask for the Nintendo 3DS isn’t out of the question, but would rely on fan support to become a reality.
The bulk of the interview with ZeldaInformer was obviously focused on Skyward Sword being the biggest Zelda title ever, but as is the case with Nintendo fans, the perfection and innovation of the past is never forgotten. It would be one heck of an understatement to say that The Legend of Zelda has a rich history of titles, and it’s truly mind-boggling to think of just how long the franchise has lasted.
The 25th anniversary of the Zelda series is something for everyone at Nintendo to be excited about, and Aonuma was asked how he would go about celebrating it. He said that he always wanted to help make a Zelda movie, but he had virtually no time to even begin thinking of such a project, and would always worry about how it would turn out. He certainly wouldn’t be alone on that.
When Aonuma was asked if Majora’s Mask would ever stand a chance of being given the same 3D release on the Nintendo 3DS as Ocarina of Time 3D, he didn’t dismiss the idea. There’s certainly a long way to go toward it becoming a reality, but anything short of a flat-out rejection is always a good thing:
“It’s been 13 years since Ocarina of Time was originally released, and one of the big things that we made this remake possible was that there was an outpour of emotions from people who said they would like to see this game done. We said we could do it in 3D, so we did. I think certainly if there was a similar output of emotion and clamor from fans for a remake of Majora’s Mask, it wouldn’t be an utter impossibility.
Thinking on it now, having a handheld Majora’s Mask where you could kind of just set things down on your own time – close it, set it aside and come back to it later – might be a game play element some fans will actually take to and might really appreciate. Especially considering how you really had to rush through the original game, in a sense.”
There’s no question that Majora’s Mask offered a unique play mechanic in its ‘countdown clock,’ and Aonuma is right that giving players a chance to experience the game in small pieces on a handheld device makes perfect sense. The theory worked for Ocarina, so hopefully if fans can get behind the idea of Majora’s Mask 3D, Nintendo might consider it more strongly.
Would you be interested in another chance to play through Majora’s Mask on your 3DS, or are you more excited for a new Zelda adventure with Skyward Sword, or whatever they’ll cook up for the Wii U? Let us know in the comments.

i’D LOOVE TO SEE THIS ON THE 3DS, it was my second favorite zelda game!
It’s the last great Zelda imo. I agree.
I would definitely play Majora’s Mask on 3DS! I am currently playing it on my N64, and they could enhance the graphics and performance immensely.
Hell yeah! This is probably my favourite Zelda!
I would like to play majora´s mask is one of my favorite zelda games
I WANT TO SEE THIS GAME REDONE!
honestly, I was really close to dishing out the money for a 3DS when The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time came out. If this game were re-made, i would be forced by my extreme love for the game to go out and buy the game, as well as a 3DS, right away.
plz plz plz remake this game for 3DS. i absolutely love tht game!!!!!
Ultimately I believe Majora’s Mask was the better game. If it were to be remade I’d suggest to replace the cloned character artwork with something fresh.
Well, I’m still not sure if I’ll get a 3DS because the only game I’m really interested in is Star Fox 64 3DS, but if Majora’s Mask was re-made, I would definitely have to buy the portable console; Majora’s Mask is one of my fovorite action/adventure games, and my favorite Zelda so far.
I would buy a remake of Majora’s Mask on day one. It is an AMAZING game that seems to get overlooked by many. Make this happen, Nintendo.
I recently played Majora’s Mask on the Virtual Console for the first time and I fell in love with it! I actually think it aged much better than Ocarina of Time, from a modern gamer’s perspective.
And imagine staring up at the moon slowly coming toward you with better graphics in 3D! It was creepy on the N64 so imagine that in 3D!
I didn’t like Majora’s mask as much as Ocarina of Time (since it relies heavily on sidequests) but I’d still welcome a remake. Also, It only makes sense to me since the other N64 Zelda was such a success on 3DS.
Since I have a 3DS but not a Wii, I would obviously look forward to this way more than Skyward Sword.
I personally have never played through the entirety of Majora’s Mask mostly because I felt there was too much of a time strain on everyone of my actions. I would love to see this game get remade in 3D where I could finally take in its underappreciated glory in piecemeal.
Majora’s mask is my favorite zelda, if they made a remake on the 3ds id get it day one
Majoras Mask would be amazing to see on the 3ds. Id like to see more Zelda games in the future have this graphical style to it also! Really excited to see what they do with A link to the past
I love majoras mask. the 64 reliese was to soon they should have done something with the gamecube and waited then they would hav the idea for new graphics but never the less still near perfect game
if tyey made majora’s mask 3d i would flip out in eccitment
Y’all should make a majora’s mask 3D cause that was my favorite game
Zelda is basicly my life if they remake majoras mask on 3ds i’ll be so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i bought tlozoot bundle the day it came out so i cant wait for mm because oot was awesome.
i would do anything for a 3d remake.
