Nintendo Interested In A 3D Remake Of Zelda: A Link To The Past

In a recent interview, longtime Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma brought up the possibility that Nintendo might release more 3D updates of classic Zelda titles to follow-up its Ocarina of Time remake for 3DS. One possible title was brought up: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Speaking with Gamesradar, Aonuma said, "Mr. Miyamoto himself has been talking recently about going back to the 2D Zelda games," he said, "in particular the ones that were designed with multiple levels to the world like A Link to the Past, and taking those 2D graphics and recreating them in 3D so that you could get a sense for the depth of those worlds. That's something that might be interesting to do, so I would say there might be a possibility of something like that in the future."

While this shouldn't be interpreted as an official confirmation of the project, it's an intriguing possibility. What Zelda game would you like to see remade in 3D?

  • Well that would be awesome! I just might get a 3DS for this one.

  • Hello!
  • PLEASE OH SWEET JESUS PLEASE! Link to the Past was the best Zelda game!
  • Sure, you do that Nintendo, but I want brand new Zelda titles for my 3DS first.
  • Nintendo, no offense but I grown tired of A Link to the Past, heck I am tired of most ports. I enjoyed Ocarina of Time 3D but as of right now, I would prefer a new Zelda Experience rather than another re-remake. That said, if you are going to remake anything how about you remake Majora's Mask and then make a new game following that story?
  • But I don't want to play a game I've already played. I want a new Zelda. One that uses the online capacities of the 3DS. Also, make it the classic style.
  • I would love this, I have never played A Link to the Past so this would give me a great opportunity. Also, to answer the question: Majora's Mask, no contest.
  • Oh. My. God. Just the thought of that is enough to make me salivate with gaming lust.

  • I'd sure play this. I'd love to replay Link to the Past in 3D. It's a great game and I'd love a updated version but I'm not begging for it. Meanwhile I bet Dan is freaking out about this possibility.
  • Like some people have already said they should definitely do a new 2d game. Something similar to Minish Cap would be sweet.
  • Yes please

  • sounds pretty awesome,.....but my vote goes to majora's mask.
  • I'd be down for remake/remastered version of Link to the Past, 3D or not. The same treatment should be aimed at Link's Awakening, one of my favorites.
  • Hmm......i dunno, but I think it would lose a lot of the magic of the original graphics. Sprites just look better than 3D models, especially on the DS. Just look at Golden Sun.
  • Yes. Yes. Please. Dear god yes. OoT 3D + Skyward Sword + this... + f**king Skyrim...
  • Dear lord! Stop doing remakes Nintendo. Give us something new!

  • Uuuummm...please no, I like the older Zelda games the way they are, don't ruin my nostalgia.
  • Worst possible idea!

  • So when they say 3D, do they mean using the 3DS' capabilities, or do they mean making Link to the Past with Ocarina of Time style graphics? 'Cause the latter would be too epic for words. I've heard that Golden Sun was originally planned for the N64, but was moved over to the GBA since the system was in the last stages of its life cycle. Always wished I could see Golden Sun and great 2D games like it with 3D, console quality graphics. But yeah, I personally think Link to the Past is without a doubt the best Zelda game to remake in 3D.
  • god i hope this is 3D as in that it's not top down and has 3D environments like all of the recent Zelda games, i would cry....ok i lied but i would still be extremely excited to see that happen.
