Talk:The Legend of Zelda (Series)

Remasters, ports & remakes

Here's the thing about trying to categorise these separately - it gets very blurry, very quickly. The only 100% remake in the entire Zelda series is Link's Awakening for Switch. Built from the ground up with modern tools.

Everything else is some degree of debatable - you can argue about whether Link's Awakening DX is even technically a port, since it runs just fine on Original GB (and Super Game Boy, which it has borders & palettes for). And remaster is just a blank slate of a word - every time you make a new master version for something, you're technically re-mastering (by that standard, Ocarina of Time has at least six masters on Nintendo 64 alone!). The North American release of Majora's Mask for N64 may have more differences from the Japanese release of MM64 than LTTP GBA has from LTTP SNES! - Sanityormadness (talk) 04:19, February 7, 2023 (UTC)
