"Tony Stark will return in Avengers 2" I think.

I'm willing to bet this guy:
...is actually The Happy Mask Salesman wearing one of his own masks.

Majora's Mask was not only in a different continuity (the LTTP "timeline" branch spawns from a "what-if" where Link actually loses at the end of OOT), but is hundreds and hundreds of years before any of the events in this new game. So if there's a connection there, it won't be a sequential one, but it could certainly give some context to the events of Majora's Mask. OOT Link being defeated at the end of his game would yield a continuity where he never goes to Termina and stops the moon, after all, so this world might be the after-effects of that.

dunno why all the 3DS fans want this so badly
I want it on my Wii U in HD!
Because "HD" versions of games - unless they add something else to the game other than a pointless graphics update - are meaningless.
I want it on 3DS so I can have a portable version of it (even though it is one of my less-liked Zelda games).
Looping timeline confirmed.

You guys might tear me apart for this, but I really disliked MM because of the 'time limit'. I was never able to deal with it for long enough to learn the songs to rewind\fast-forward. I hate, hate, hate, hate time limits of any kind. I like to take my time doing absolutely everything.
So I GameShark'ed that shit so that I could control time using the L and R triggers. Only then did I enjoy myself.
With that said, I'm looking forward to a remake of any kind. Having played through it illegitimately, I hopefully won't feel the need to explore every nook and cranny in any future re-releases.

Because Majora's Mask 3D is more realistic than it getting a full HD remakes especially when the Wii U already got a HD remaster of Winkwaker.
Furthermore the 3DS need game for 2014 so I wouldn't be surprised to see it released next year.

If Aonuma wants to honour his official timeline, I'm afraid it's unlikely that will happen.
I'm pretty excited about this though!

Well damn. Curiosity at maximum. =O
I won't assume this is a tease at a remake, but I'm anxious to see the connection.

James Bond movies have been doing the post-credits tease since the early 1960's

Kind of wish they didn't say anything about this. Imagine the surprise.

Grezzo (the company that Nintendo would contract out for a Majora's Mask port) has experience with the 3DS and DS. They don't have experience making games in HD.
Nintendo would most likely have to contract out a Wii U version to some other company, which may be too inconvenient logistically speaking as Nintendo has been having to push team sizes to the limit / consolidate teams for HD development.
That, and a 3DS remake would be cheaper than a full-on Wii U one and would likely have greater sales.
but what if there's only one lorule across all timelines?
Probably this. When the name was announced I assumed the link between worlds would lead to a connection to another game/timeline.

It's also on a different timeline, if Nintendo is intent on keeping up with this crap.
A Link Between Worlds should be taking place after A Link to the Past, which is in the timeline of Ganon being successful in Ocarina, and Major'as Mask is the child timeline of if Link is successful

no one is feeling tired of Zelda yet that is good.
I feel like I just saw 4 Zelda's within 2 years?

The Happy Mask Salesman obviously has some sort of magical power and can bend spacetime. It would be cool if this is where he originally got Majora's Mask before going to Termina. Because of his strange nature, Nintendo could easily pass him off as staying within the rules of the timeline.
That would make this Link the original fierce deity

There's no such thing as a perfect game.
It's not going to be on WiIU, Nintendo does not have the resources to do another Zelda HD remake, especially N64 which would require far more effort than the cel-shaded GCN game.
Not to mention OOT remake was on 3DS, most of the assets are all done. It would make far more money on 3DS and is far cheaper to make. I can't see a single reason to make it on WiiU over it unless Nintendo wanted to waste money.
Majora's Mask is far from a perfect game.

Chrono Trigger begs to differ.
Indeed. The stupid "time limit" - even if core to the game's functioning - ruins it.

shortly after skyward sword, people linked him to demise, as some sort of follower demon.
Hmm, his comment isn't really confirmation on anything to do with MM 3D, or that MM will have any role in the game other than the cameo. Could just be teasing to increase the buzz surrounding this game and MM 3D.
Would've been a downer if he outright confirmed the game has nothing to do with MM after it was already revealed the mask would feature as at least a cameo. It feels like he's been teasing and giving ambiguous answers in a lot of interviews in recent years to keep fans on their toes.

It would certainly be interesting. I'd love a game that makes an effort to unify the timelines. But the issue is that the LTTP branch isn't really a "timeline," so much as it's a distinct canon. The Wind Waker and Majora's Mask timelines exist within the same continuity, they're the timeline Link traveled to at the end of OOT, and the one he left behind. The LTTP branch being based on a "what if" scenario, though, where Ganon defeated him at the end of OOT, basically makes the entire branch non-canon. Or more accurately, "differently-canon." Lorule could certainly exist in all three branches, but while two of those branches share a continuity, I doubt any events could cross between those two and the isolated LTTP one.

Me toodunno why all the 3DS fans want this so badly

Nah, don't let them be lazy, they actually have to redo at least the 3D models and in 3DS is not as a big change comparing to how a WiiU version could be seen.
i think that it'd be awesome if they stuck so adamantly by the timeline that they take things like this into account but i have a gut feeling that nintendo will attempt to simplify it around the edges
Okay, how about this.
Lorule was once a land as beautiful as Hyrule called Termina. One day Majora's Mask appeared and chucked a moon at Termina, destroying everything. The people built Lorule on the ruins of Termina. Or maybe Majora just fucked shit up changing things into other things.
This is an alternate timeline from the one Majora's Mask took place in, so this would be an alternate Majora just like how WW Ganon, TP Ganon, and ALttP Ganon are all the same person in different timelines.
The music in the trailer when they show Yuga has a very Majora's Mask sound to it.
SMW isn't perfect. It's too lacking in challenge and the level design could be better.

ALBW doesn't look very good though, doesn't look like it does anything innovative with the dark world and the scroll Link looks like a gimmick. Graphics are also ugly judging from what we’ve see, below Nintendo’s usual standards. MM is probably the greatest game ever made, but ideally they should have made a new 3D Zelda using the Ocarina of Time engine which doesn’t look bad at all.
Still may give ALBW a go if Gaffers say it's better than it looks.

Its not about laziness. It makes no sense OOT was remade for 3DS. And MM is the direct sequel and shares most of its models & assets with OOT.
