Since Ocarina of Time 3D released last year, fans have been clamoring for a new Zelda experience on the handheld. A remake of Majora’s Mask was in the cards according to Eiji Aonuma, and the engine used for the Ocarina remake could easily be used for it’s direct sequel. However, Miyamoto has stated that he wants to remake A Link to the Past for 3DS instead. The classic title could help bring back the 2D Zelda style, while creating a beautiful Hyrule filled with 3D graphics. On the flip side of the remake coin is a completely new title, one in the style of A Link to the Past. It could be a direct sequel, or a continuation of the classic timeline.

It’s now decision time at Nintendo. Here’s a quote from Miyamoto.

“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. We have so many goals right now. 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.”

Although Nintendo cannot release any further details right now, Miyamoto has told us to stay tuned for “more concrete news” soon.

What are the possibilities of these three titles? Majora’s Mask is easier to make than the other two, and it is able to continue a story familiarized to a new generation on 3DS already. A Link to the Past is far more popular that the sequel, and it can revive the 2D Zelda style. A new title can bring something to the table, and, hey, it’s a new Zelda.

What do you think? Which option should Nintendo go for? Start talking in the comments below.
