I mean, they did it for A Link to The Past, which was pretty unexpected for me, why not do it for Ocarina? I don't even know if it would make sense in the official timeline, but it would seem like a no-brainer for such a successful game.
Would it still break the internet if it was announced or is the game's impact died down now? (apart from NeoGAF)
If it was an excellent game, would it sell? Would it move Wii Us at this point if it was Zelda U? (insert appropriate will-save-the-wiiu chalk table)
Edit: Understandably, I should have mentioned Majora's Mask. To clarify, I mean a game with the same Link as those two games, in the same Hyrule, before/after/separate timeline. And the argument about Nintendo trying to hit that Ocarina vein with TP is valid, but I think another game would still make sense, and have a significant impact, just because of the name.

Majora's Mask?
They did, in 2000.I mean, they did it for A Link to The Past, which was pretty unexpected for me, why not do it for Ocarina? I don't even know if it would make sense in the official timeline, but it would seem like a no-brainer for such a successful game.

Majora's Mask was the OoT sequel.
They did and I understand it's rather highly praised on this forum. I'm surprised you haven't heard of it.
They should make a reboot of it.
we will see soon.
I see what you mean, OP, but Majora's Mask is pretty much the direct sequel that we got.
As long as teen/adult Link is in it with his original voice then go for it.
I bet my money, next Zelda is going to be Majora's...
by the timeline, it is both TWW and TP in different splits.Well, I don't think people consider that to be a direct sequel. I was talking about actually having Ocarina of Time in the title, like LttP2, ALBW, and taking place in that Hyrule, before/after/during the same storyline.
unless you want the exact same Hyrule Field again.
that is the wind waker. seriously. the wind waker's story heavily relies on you knowing what happened in ocarina of time. twilight princess is a direct sequel as well, but it goes about it in a far less obvious way.Well, I don't think people consider that to be a direct sequel.

Majora's Mask is the sequel to OOT, and if you wanted a more adult OOT like game, Twilight Princess was basically that.
Nintendo making OOT zelda over and over has pretty much been the big complaint with the series up to skyward sword.

I should have expected this :P
Alright then,
a sequel to Ocarina of Time AND Majora's Mask series. Same Link. Same Hyrule.

I'd love to see a re-imagining of Ocarina on Wiiu.
But to answer your question... No.
But to answer your question... No.
Wind Waker is kind of a direct sequel as well. They basically made two direct sequels, with one for each timeline even.
Yes, it's not called Ocarina of Time 2, but that's pretty much what they are.

The Hyrule field in OoT was the worst part of that game, it worked for the time to show what the hardware could do, but it hasn't aged well at all.I should have expected this :P
Alright then,
a sequel to Ocarina of Time AND Majora's Mask series. Same Link. Same Hyrule.
So rather than a Link's Awakening or Majora's Mask, you want something more like ALBW, in the same Hyrule? I could dig that, but naturally the overworld would have to really only resemble it vaguely. Same layout, but a bit larger with more than just Lon Lon Ranch in the middle, etc. I don't want the OoT overworld with new textures in 2014/15 or whatever.I should have expected this :P

Majora's Mask 3D or bust. Leave the super huge, shiny, and new Zelda for Wii U, please and thank you.Somebody said it here before but: Majora's Mask HD on Wii U then an original game finishing Hero of Time trilogy. #finishthefight
Did I just read that title right?
Does he? He's still a child at the end of Majora's Mask is he not? Has an entire lifetime left. It's possible.not possible. that Link dies after MM.
they'll need a new one by force.
I think Aonuma and Miyamoto went through various phases of TP development with the mindset of making OoT2. Isn't that partially why it was crucified on the internet?
So basically op should replace Ocarina of Time with Majora's Mask. How about 7 years have past after all that stuff in that game happened?
Was also gonna point out this, WW not only is a sequel to OoT it directly refers to it in the story, even though it takes place hundreds of years later.that is the wind waker. seriously. the wind waker's story heavily relies on you knowing what happened in ocarina of time. twilight princess is a direct sequel as well, but it goes about it in a far less obvious way.
They made 3 sequels to Ocarina of Time.
twilight princess is basically OoT2, minus an equivalent for the time travel mechanic
Of course I didn't say to reuse the exact same environment. When I said same Hyrule I meant that version/time of Hyrule conceptually. Of course they would change it or make it bigger or whatever. But there would still be a Kakariko Village, the forest people, characters etc.Originally Posted by MarcoZombieCannon

They didn't even do the former (same Link) for A Link Between Worlds, the closest we got was nearly a modernized character design, and even that got pitched in favor of a new one that more closely matched in-game graphics. So if that's your criteria: no, and I really hope we don't because I don't want the series to keep recycling overworlds. It's already bad enough that they've become more shy about leaving Hyrule and that the one really good 2D game in a long time recycled LttP's overworld.I should have expected this :P

Majora's fucking Mask, best game in the series and sequel to Ocarina of Time.
Yep, that could easily still be a game in the current timelines. Majora's Mask Link has a whole life to live after MM that we never saw. They could do MM 2 if they wanted, and have him face a different villain, without contradicting anything.Originally Posted by Showmeyamoves

I love zelda games and all, but to be quite honest, I hardly ever play Zelda games for their story. It's a convoluded mess to be honest. The only game I really liked, story wise, was Skyward sword, but that is just because Zelda has some more personality in that one and it actually looks like she gives 2 shits about link.
I don't really see the need for sequels because they are pretty much all sequels/prequels in the grand sceme of things.

If this discussion actually goes on and the thread has legs, maybe a mod should change the title to Ocarina of Time + Majora's Mask indeed, good point. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Kid never played Majoras Mask. Point and laugh.
The last thing I want from Nintendo is more Zeldas, more Marios, more Pokemons, more Metroids and so on and so forth.
Yeah, if the definition is really A Link Between Worlds styled then TP is pretty damn close to that as it is. The closest to what he said on the OP was actually the original Zelda II, and Hyrule wasn't well defined then (and we didn't really see that expanded Zelda II iteration afterwards... though I think it might actually be amazing if they went that route next time, or at least for the next 2D one if they need a world that can carry a 30+ hour game.)But isn't that exactly TP?
Yup, children in the Lost Woods become Skull kids while adults become Stalfos like the Hero's shade in Twilight Princess. He also addresses Link as son in red letters possibly signifying he started a line before he died. So there is still time left that could be explored, but it would end or a negative note (which would be awesome).Well if he becomes the Hero's Shade in TP and the Shade is an adult knight, it's safe to say he lived well beyond MM.
I would be okay with this, but. . .Of course I didn't say to reuse the exact same environment. When I said same Hyrule I meant that version/time of Hyrule conceptually.

We had that happen already. I think I would be okay with an HD take on that world on Wii U, but I don't know how the story would slot in if it is the same place from OoT and later TP. Teen/Adult Link (that tall one from the initial Skyward Sword art please?) from Majora's Mask saving the day in his timeline could work.But isn't that exactly TP?
I think technically they made three (depends on what you call "direct sequel") direct sequels.
Majora's Mask (right after the events of OOT)
Wind Waker (set hundreds of years after the events of OOT)
A Link to the Past (connected through Imprisoning War)

Well... direct sequels, pretty much everything but skyward sword and minish cap are sequels to OOT iirc.Originally Posted by Basileus777
They made 3 sequels to Ocarina of Time.
Skyward Sword > The Minish Cap > Four Swords > Ocarina of time (then splits to 3 different time lines) 1st is where he fails: Wind Waker > Phantom Hour Glass > Spirit Tracks (next is where the game ends and he is sent back in time to grow up as a child) Majora's Mask > Twilight Princess > Four Swords Adventures (last is the time line where Zelda is left after she sends Link back to be a child) A link to the past > Oracle of ages/seasons > Links awakening > Legend of Zelda and finally Adventure of Link (zelda 2)
