Ocarina of Time is regarded by many as the greatest game from The Legend of Zelda series ever made, and the remake for the 3DS was well received by fans and critics alike. After hype for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D began to die down, fans immediately began speculating on what the next Zelda title for the handheld would be. A likely candidate to be ported next was Majora’s Mask, but it’s also been rumored that a new A Link to the Past game may be in the cards as well.
In an interview with IGN, legendary game creator Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that he and his cohorts at Nintendo “haven’t quite decided” whether or not they’ll green light a revamp of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, or something new related to the Super Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
“We haven’t quite decided yet, whether we’re going to do A Link to the Past, because there’s also the possibility of doing a remake of Majora’s Mask. This is something we’ve certainly been talking about and doing a little bit of experimenting with, to figure out which way we’re going to go.”
Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma revealed back in November that an original Zelda game was already in development for the portable, and (more importantly) that it would be coming to the 3DS before another remake. If demand is strong enough for Majora’s Mask however, then the Big N may very well end up going with another remake instead of a new adventure.
Miyamoto made it sound like gamers would be getting both at some point though, and alluded to one of the games being brought to the Wii U in lieu of the 3DS.
“We’re always looking at expanding our audience and giving people the opportunity to get their hands on 3DS and see what kind of fun gaming experiences they can have. And now, we’re also tasked with pushing the Wii U. So we have lots of good opportunities in terms of thinking about which Zelda game is going to be best for which purpose.”
A sequel or remake to A Link to the Past seems like a shoo-in for the Nintendo 3DS, and if that’s the case then the possibility of Majora’s Mask coming to Wii U becomes even greater. Since the Wii’s successor is significantly more powerful than the portable, maybe that’s the format diehard Zelda fans would want the game on anyway. Besides, who wouldn’t want the chance to revisit the Nintendo 64 classic in glorious HD? Nobody we’d want to know.

Link to the Past. That’s a no-brainer.
I want both. Nay, I NEED both. Make it so, Nintendo.
Majoras Mask. Especially with how many people want it. I especially do after this amazing fan video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=P50d9xsLzB0
Either would be excellent, but I haven’t played Link to the Past, so that would be my preference for a remake.
You should play it. Go on, I’ll wait… If you have a Wii it’s more than well worth the 800 points on the VC. Or better yet pick yourself up a used SNES and play it like the good Lord (Miyamoto) intended.
well a link to the past is actually alot like ocarina of time, except it was 2d with different storyline and different items. But in short you get three pendants, use those pendants to get the mastersword and then some slightly different things, then you get transported into the dark world and then have to go through eight dungeons and save some maidens then fight the final boss. Although it withholds many of its own qualities. I do say a link to the past though lol.
A Link To The Past is hands down the best Zelda game ever, possibly the best GAME ever. A sequel to it would be absolutely, indescribably good. My vote goes 100% to a sequel to ALTTP. Plus I haven’t played Majora’s Mask in it’s entirety.
An actual sequel to A Link to the Past would be amazing. A simple remake though would have to look spectacular for it to be worth me buying it. And if they go through that much trouble of revamping it, they might as well just craft a totally new original Zelda title. The original SNES version still holds up quite well, it’s a beautiful game and it’s still a blast to play. While I love Majora’s Mask, a simple 3d revamp a la Ocarina just doesn’t do it for me.
Why doesn’t Nintendo “re-release” something worth while? They could start with a Mother compilation.
Majora’s Mask a lot of people never played it as it was released so late in the N64′s lifespan, plus it makes more sense as it is the sequel to the already released Ocarina Of Time.
The question though, isn’t which, but why not both?
A link to the past, there’s no argument there…
both…but i’m more toward majoria’s mask. that game brought me closer to my mother. she loves to watch me play video games and that one was her favorite to watch.
Majora’s Mask, for sure. Any older Zelda game deserves remakes, I think (Oracle games, anyone?) but seeing as how they released OoT already, it follows pretty reasonably that MM come next. Also, MM is best Zelda game <3
Either way, More Zelda = Win (and money for Nintendo)
Legend of Zelda 2 and Majora’s Mask are the only Zelda games I hate. They both are terrible games. Ocarina of Time is my second favorite Zelda game and having a horrible sequel was like a slap to the face. ALTTP was the best Zelda game, I hope they make a sequel.
…..why didnt you like mm???
A link to the past would be a lot better.
i’d like to see a majora’s mask remake for the wii u. remember when ocarina of time first came out? how AMAZING the graphics were back then?! i want to be BLOWN AWAY by the graphics on a Nintendo 1st party title, and i think this is the perfect opportunity to do so
They don’t really have to remake the entire game since every single Zelda game is exactly the same. Its like having the same chocolate cake with different icing.
Boring.
Zelda Skyward Sword sucked.
Why not both? They’re both pretty damn hard games, I’d accept either one gladly.
If they dont release majors mask they’re stupid. If they dont release a link to the past, they’re stupid.
DEY BOTH AWESOME GAMES
I like majoras mask because its the 3rd dimension, but if they did that to a link to the past I would probably be working my butt off for money to buy it.
