Here's another rumor. The Legend of ZEldar: Twilight Princess A remake of the Switch 2 is being considered, and at one point I was fully supportive of the idea, but ocarina of time Remakes leave you longing for something completely different. Majora's Mask. In the latest episode of the Partida Zero podcast, Nintendo insider Nash Weedle twilight princess It could also come to Switch 2, and considering his track record, there's a good chance he's right. The most important thing that is being broadcast right now is what this “revised version” is. twilight princess And we don't even know if it's a remaster of the Wii U port for Switch 2 or a full-blown remake.
Most likely a remaster. ocarina of time The remake is already officially underway and may have caught Nintendo's attention in the remake department. But I don't know how I would feel if the rumors turn out to be true and it turns out to be a remake. Don't misunderstand. twilight princess fantastic zelda If you'd like to see the game back on modern hardware but are planning a remake. ocarina of timeThe logical next step would be a well-received sequel. Majora's Mask—I'm not saying that because I like games, too.
The Legend of Zelda has two major releases coming up again this year.
The Legend of Zelda has been on a roll as of late, but there are still two big releases left in 2026 that I'm very excited about.
Majora's Mask needs a remake more than Twilight Princess
One of my favorite, and least favorite, arguments for whether a game that's already been remastered should get the remake treatment is “It's already gotten a remake.” People said something like that. ocarina of time When it was re-released on 3DS they said this: Majora's Mask 3D also. I understand it's technically called a remake, but in my opinion, a true remake is a complete reimagining of a classic game. It contains many more elements that distinguish it from the original on a much less fundamental level than visuals and polish, including new mechanics, revamped storytelling, new gameplay opportunities, and more.
Place the consoles in the correct order.
start
A true remake would have to make it clear that this is the game everyone remembers, not the game everyone actually remembers. In that respect, both Ocarina of Time 3D and Majora's Mask 3D It doesn't count as a remake in my book because it's almost exactly the same as I remember it in its classic form. And we still don't know the full extent of what Nintendo went into with the remake. ocarina of timeThe teaser trailer alone seems to be a fresh experience that even veteran fans will feel unfamiliar with.
twilight princess fantastic zelda If you'd like to see the game back on modern hardware but are planning a remake. ocarina of timeThe logical next step would be an acclaimed sequel…
All that said, Majora's Mask Despite the 3DS version claiming that title almost a decade ago, it still needs a remake, and it needs a remake more than that. twilight princess. I would even go so far as to say that. Majora's Mask It needs at least a remaster. twilight princess. if Majora's Mask It's just a visual overhaul that utilizes the full power of the Switch 2, so I'd go for it. twilight princess No hesitation, just because I believe it's the better game between the two.
The only caveat that would cause me to lose points in this debate is this: Majora's Mask Although it is currently playable natively on Nintendo Switch 2 via the N64 library. twilight princess I can't. However, you should remember that the versions are: Majora's Mask What's currently available on Switch 2 is the original version, not the enhanced 3D version. That means, yes, you can play. Majora's Mask Right now, the playable version looks a lot worse than the next version. twilight princess This is the most recent status.
Twilight Princess is a more modern game, which makes Majora's Mask perfect for a remake.
The problem is, twilight princess I don't suffer from the same problem Majora's Mask Yes. This is another big reason why the latter should be remade before the former. Even in its original form, twilight princess Because it already belongs to a later era, it is still very easy to play and understand by modern standards. zelda design. The world is bigger, the storytelling is more cinematic, the combat is more expressive, and the art direction is old enough to believe it still looks fantastic for a 20-year-old game. Majora's MaskOn the other hand, it still suffers from the limitations of the N64, and although that is certainly part of its charm. zelda This is the game that would benefit most from a complete fundamentals review.
More importantly, Majora's Mask This is the kind of game that a remake can really transform without betraying what made it special in the first place. The three-day cycle, mask and transformation mechanics, side quests, NPC routines, dungeons, and a doomed version of Termina are all already great ideas, but they're also ones that modern hardware can take to a level that the N64 could never do. twilight princess It will definitely look amazing on Switch 2. If that's what Nintendo has planned, I'd be happy to take it. but Majora's Mask silver zelda The game with the most untapped remake potential, and beyond ocarina of timeIt feels like Nintendo should follow suit first.
Majora's Mask is the obvious next step after Ocarina of Time
And that's probably the biggest argument I can make here. ocarina of timeIt makes sense to keep remaking sequels. Majora's Mask is a direct continuation of the Hero of Time story. This means that Nintendo already has the perfect foundation to give Switch 2 owners a complete version of the era. remake ocarina of time Then just skip right to it. twilight princess You'll feel like you read the first half of a book, close it before the next half, and then pick up a completely different book from the shelf.
twilight princess It's worth your time on the Switch 2, and I'm not going to pretend I don't want to play it if Nintendo really has some kind of revision in store. But if Nintendo opens the door completely zelda remake ocarina of time, Majora's Mask It should definitely be in the next line. It needs more help, has more untapped remake potential, and makes most sense as the next step in what Nintendo has already started. twilight princess You can wait a little longer because Termina deserves its turn first.
