In the ever-immersive world of the Legend of Zelda games, there have been interesting murmurs about what could happen if the creators ever decided to recreate certain games in the style of others. A recent discussion sparked by AgeOfCalamity got fans enthusiastically sharing which games they’d love to see remade in the unique aesthetics of different Zelda games.

Summary

  • There was overwhelming positive sentiment towards the idea of remaking older Zelda games in the style of newer ones
  • Between all the suggestions, the desire for a Majora’s Mask and Twilight Princess-style game shined particularly bright
  • Some fans also championed for a reimagining of the Oracle games in the style of the Link’s Awakening remake
  • However, a few users didn’t agree on remaking every game, pointing out potential clashes in tone and aesthetics

Fan Pleas for Remake Mash-ups

Most of the fans jumped on the hypothetical bandwagon, discussing their favorite Zelda games and how they could be benefited from a remake in different styles. ‘Give me the Oracle games in the style of the Link’s Awakening remake and you’ll win me over VERY fast,’ enthused kaydeejay1995. Other responses featured games such as Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass, and even the original Legend of Zelda.

Majora’s Mask in the Twilight Princess Style

The concept of remaking Majora’s Mask in the Twilight Princess style garnered considerable fan interest. Proponents argue that Majora’s Mask’s dark, eerie undertones would align beautifully with Twilight Princess’s aesthetic. ‘Majora’s Mask in Twilight Princess style. Mmmm so dark. So creepy,’ shared a fan supporting this idea, geekfitmtl.

Conflicting Opinions about Aesthetics and Tone

While most only welcomed the possibility of remakes, some showed reservations, specifically about Majora’s Mask being remade in the same style as Minish Cap. ‘Why tf you should remake majora’s mask with minish cap graphics wtf. I think it would destroy all the vibe of the game lol,’ voiced Evening-Mark-1235, who thinks that such a blend could drastically alter its perceived tone and vibe.

To wrap things up, it’s clear that Zelda fans have a wealth of ideas on how to mix and remix different Zelda franchises in order to produce something truly exciting. Whether it’s revisiting classics with a new visual twist or creating dark, haunting manifestations of beloved games, the possibilities are near endless. Who knows? Perhaps Nintendo take note and surprise us in the future.
