Majora's Mask HD confirmed

Honestly, this and OOT HD together in 2016 for the 30th anniversary wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Conezays]

Oh shit. Give me Hyrule Warriors DLC or Majora's 2!

 

[Papercuts]

Might just be a fun little side reference or NPC without being a major pillar of gameplay mechanics.

Yup, my first thought.

Masks were still in OoT in a mostly minor way, they could show up in a similar fashion for the new one.

 

[Nocturnowl]

To help fill the potentially bland sidequest quota of Zelda U's vast open world structure we'll be making mask deliveries for the mask salesman, ultimate reward after 20 exciting runs to a marker will be the returning mask of truth useful for a few gossip stones chatting about pieces of heart you don't really need outside of completionists sake.
/low expectations

Zelda tease is always a good tease

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Majora's Mask is so fucking awesome. What great news if masks are in Zelda U



What? The message mentions having new masks for "you" to try on.

Ok I seemed to skip that. Like usual lol.

This gotta be for hyrule warriors Id think.

 

[SuperDowns]

Ah ffs. I forgot about Hyrule Warriors....

That's what the teasing is all about most probably. Man, what a downer.

Hey now, don't be a hater! I would love for more Majora Mask themes in Hyrule Warriors.

 

[Zelda Williams]

Hmmm. Very interesting. I wonder what it could mean....

 

[cooljeanius]

Heh, I was wondering if someone was going to post this here as soon as I saw it on Miiverse... Here's a link to the original post in context on Miiverse, btw: https://miiverse.nintendo.net/replies/AYMHAAACAAADVHjGFxpNTw

 

[Hiltz]

A Majora's Mask sequel sounds like a logical idea for the next handheld title. It gives them a foundation to use but introduce a new setting, villain, and creature races to base the masks powers on.

 

[Shauni]

Would making a HD remaster of the 3DS remakes of OOT and MM for the Wii U be possible with little effort? I know it's basically an impossibility, from my understanding, to do so with the original N64 assets, but could it be done with those versions with relative low effort now?

 

[nckillthegrimace]

The Happy Mask Salesman is clearly some sort of weirdo demon and the last two console games had weirdo demons, so I would not be shocked if he reappears.

 

[Mato]

I'd love a new Zelda for 3ds using the Oot/MM engine. Do it Nintendo!

 

[Zero²]

Happy Masks Salesman for Hyrule Warriors DLC.

Haha Way to kill the hype

 

[EatinOlives]

My money's on Mask salesman and some mask mechanics will be present in the new Zelda for WiiU

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Yep, Majora's Mask 2. Finally.

I would be 100% okay with this.
A new OoT-styled Zelda on a handheld would be awesome. It would be even better if it's based on MM's "mask system".

People with Nintendo Network IDs should read the full Miiting at the source, and maybe Yeah! the specific reply post that people are basing this thread's discussion on if they want to show support.

Also, for those who don't give a damn about any of that, here's an image that has all of the interview in it (from NintendoEverything): http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/11/1426274930-miiverse-interview.jpg

 

[Hot Coldman]

when you wear the shulk mask, you really feel it

god damn it

 

[Felix Andrews]

What engine? the MM and OoT 3D? I thought they were just ports.?

They're very accurate representations of the originals (right down to the replication of certain bugs and exploits), but architecturally, they were built from the ground up for 3DS.

 

[dampflokfreund]

They wouldn't dare structure a game like majora's again. They tried to make it more casual friendly for the 3ds remake and it was still too much for people.

He can cameo, but it won't mean anything.

Its not casualized. The gameplay is improved and the gamedesign is better, but its not easier.

 

[ReyVGM]

I imagine we'll just be seeing the mask salesman in Zelda U (he was in Skyward Sword too after all) with some new wearable masks. Exciting stuff.
.

He wasn't in Skyward Sword. Some guy that looked like him was.

 

[Escalario]

NVM

 

[ReyVGM]

Hey now, don't be a hater! I would love for more Majora Mask themes in Hyrule Warriors.

Not being a hater. Just hypothetically disappointed that the Mask stuff could be for Hyrule Warriors and not for Zelda WiiU or a new future Zelda.

 

[ReyVGM]

*redacted*

 

[emb]

From the sound of it, MM has been in development pretty much alongside Zelda Wii U. Wouldn't be surprised if it reminded Aonuma etc of fondness for the character/masks, and we end up seeing HMS in a capacity similar to what OoT had.

 

[ciD_Vain]

:O

Zelda U then? ZELDA U???

First official art revealed!

Stupid people with stupid comments. Everyone should be clamoring for the HMS to be in Zelda WiiU in the role of giving Link masks with powers and transformations, not as a fucking cameo.
Also, NPCs with schedules, but that one is pretty much a given.

 

[TheJoRu]

I could see it, actually. Despite being a traveling salesman you never quite bump into him in OoT or MM in that context: in the middle of his travels.

I imagine he could be a sort of Beedle-type guy in Zelda U (except on land, of course); where you sometimes bump into him on the map, walking around the fields or having set up shop near towns. Depending on your progress in the game, location (or even time of day!) he'd sell you different kinds of masks. The fact that he sometimes would appear to magically be at several locations at once, or at least move between places oddly quick, would add to his mysterious nature and general weirdness.

I for one would gladly welcome the return of masks, though maybe more in the form of side items than part of the game's main plot.

 

[guek]

And people mocked earlier today when I asked if MM would influence Zelda Wii U :-(

 

[TheCongressman1]

Me too. This kind of thing could really spice up playing in the overworld if you could use various masks to just play around in some weird way.

 

[PooBone]

Happy Mask Salesman sidequest.

NEXT!

 

[Not]

First official art revealed!

This is pretty great. Love the blind eyes.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Words can't describe how much I'd buy that.

 

[Yonafunu]

As long as it isn't Majora's Mask 2 I'm okay with it. A cameo in Zelda U would be perfect.

 

[Enforced]

Interesting. I can't wait for this game to come out. I plan to play this on Chirstmas.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Awesome if true! Bring on Majora's Mask 2.

 

[RagnarokX]

Zelda Wii U is in Termina effing CONFIRMED. The map matches up too.

Uh... The map matches OoT hyrule almost perfectly and has a bridge across lake Hylia ala TP...

 

[ffdgh]

Don't play with my emotions...

 

[georly]

Uh... The map matches OoT hyrule almost perfectly and has a bridge across lake Hylia ala TP...

Not to mention the ocean (maybe?) is on the eastern side, not the western.

 

[axisofweevils]

I had a feeling this would happens. Nintendo usually remasters Zelda games for specific reasons.

 

[Small Mailman]

Calling it now: He's just going to be a vendor

 

[Dice//]

I pray to Jesus and Buddha this is going to be very happy news. And I hope it's not a "mask sidequest" in the capacity OoT made it.

 

[Astral Dog]

Might just be a fun little side reference or NPC without being a major pillar of gameplay mechanics.

This, i doubt its going to be something significant, maybe a sidequest or special items or minor characters type of thing, Zelda U is certainly not going to use masks as a big gameplay mechanic again.

A third HoT game seems possible though, but still. dont expect a new masks focused game yet.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

My heart says MM 2 but my brain says some amiibo shit (an appearance or role in the new zelda would be nice I admit)

 

[James Scott]

Normal masks+amiibo masks in Zelda U #Believe

 

[Real Hero]

They aren't ever going to make Majoras mask 2 or have masks as the main focus again and they shouldn't. But the should totally bring the happy mask salesman back is some way.

 

[Nanashrew]

A bunny hood would be nice and helpful for traversal in Zelda U with its expansive world.

 

[Kai Dracon]

There is that line from Miyamoto about Zelda U having an abundance of NPCs and NPC sidequests. Even if the game is not literally anything like Majora's Mask, a complex NPC ecosystem would be the perfect place for Happy Mask Salesman to return.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Majora's Mask DLC for Zelda U. Pre-order now to play as Goro

I think we'll see things like Masks replace Link's hood in Zelda U. Maybe that's why he's not wearing his hat.
I'd love to see the side quests you do allow you to obtain different masks/clothing which all have slightly different abilities or just provide a nice cosmetic change.
