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:
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.
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."
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.
