What the fuck am I even reading? Play for longer than ten minutes and you'll realize time is basically your bitch in MM.

So, finish the game and Reggie comes on stage.. 'But before you leave, let me show you.. 'And history is made again.
Are we talking about Majora's Mask? The game where you can slow down time, make it go faster, or just reset the timer?

You beat the game, fade to black, and the following text appears on the screen:
"No Majora's Mask 3D, quit fucking asking me about it.
--Aonuma"

Please indulge my dumb fan theory:
So there's three branches to the timeline, right? What if this game is about what became of the mask and the world around it in the LttP branch, since it would still exist? Related inquiry: what if the Wii U game is about the mask's influence on the Wind Waker branch of the timeline?
That could be pretty neat, and it might explain the bizarre and continued promotion of a 13-year-old game that performed relatively poorly, at least by series standards.

The Happy Mask Salesman is going to be that kind of character that every rumor or theory can be written around. He's bizarre enough and with enough "canon" mystical background that he can literally be everything or anywhere at any time.

It was obvious we were gonna get news about MM with regards to ALBW.
Even if its just an Easter Egg there had to be an explanation for why the mask is there, hopefully the ending will clarify that.

It actually doesn't. Quite a lot of the models were redone, including Link's. They're similar but not the same.

Grezzo did such a good job with OoT I feel.
Just tack on a mode where you take double damage from everything for Hard Mode or something.

dunno why all the 3DS fans want this so badly
I want it on my Wii U in HD!
Older games look tons better on a smaller screen and the 3D does wonders. WiiU would be a waste.

Can someone give me a brief explanation of the first picture.
Specifically, what is the number 3 pointing to?
The imprisoned, Demise, was imprisoned in a hole in front of the Temple of Hylia. The Temple of Time in OoT was built where the Temple of Hylia once stood. The Happy Mask Salesman's Shop is in the middle of where the hole was, but so is the rest of Hyrule castle town. The Goddess statue was right in the middle of the hole, too. Maybe he's a Hylia fan!
3 is pointing to the hole at the bottom of the pit and extending it up to where the mask shop is in OoT.
Disagree. If you want to play on a smaller screen then play on the Wii U gamepad, there's no reason to not have the remake on Wii U.

Well, Nintendo could do a Chronicles of Riddick:Assault on Dark Athena style. Enhanced port (like OOT3D) + a proper sequel. One can dream, right?
BOTH PLEASE!
As someone who's played the game multiple times (original hardware, re-releases, etc.)?
I'd honestly rather see a sequel/continuance of some sort. ALBW just does more to remind me that I can definitely get behind the idea of revisiting a world/setting, such that a remake isn't something necessary to me.
If any part of this speculation relating to Termina and Lorule is at all matching up to what Aonuma and his crew have in mind, then it would make all the more sense for them to continue building it up in someway.
I was always of the opinion that it's been sad that they've been effectively sitting on the whole Termina scenario, so few things would make me happier if Lorule was meant at all to tie into that.
Then all I'd need is for a game that finally takes place after Zelda 2's place in the "Downfall" branch...

MM wraps itself up pretty cleanly. I can't imagine how a sequel would make any sense, honestly.

given the fact that now nintendo is into "sequels!" of previous zelda games..i would rather have a majora's mask 2 than a remake
well i couldn't imagine a sequel to a link to the past either..but here we go.

I guess my point is more that a sequel to Majora's Mask would really just be an entirely new game. majora's mask was a sequel to ocarina in theory only, really. They have nothing to do with each other besides sharing some models and a tenuous attempt to say "it's the same Link, that's why he looks the same."
Despite what people say, Zelda games tend to diverge pretty strongly in some key areas, which is why the fanbase can never agree on a favorite.
So in other words, a sequel to Majora's Mask is unlikely to deliver on what Majora's Mask fans want from the Majora's Mask remake, which is to say Majora's Mask-type content.
headsplosion!
i hate remakes/hd treatments releases... but i really am looking forward to a fluid version of majoras mask.
n64 had a bad performance
gamecube had freezes and it didnt feel good to play it on gc...
OOT3d was awesome on 3ds, so i hope majoras mask will play like that.
also i would totally be there day one if this happens as a retail für 60/$

I love the look of ALBW but I always figured theyd do MM3D then a third game in the Hero of Time trilogy using the assets from OOT3d And MM featuring a naturally matured Link, where he finds Navi.

Yeah I feel the same way.
You apparently didn't play enough to realize time is a non-issue in the game in regards to mechanics.

this so muuuuuuuch! But I'll gladly play whatever comes!
I've played Majora's Mask up to the Stone Tower and then I lost interest. I might continue playing some time but I'd prefer a 3DS remake like OOT with good framerate. If I do start over then I'm going to spend more time doing side-quests because that's something I couldn't really get into last time.

Character in item shop has Majora's mask because he is the mask salesman from LoZMM, just disguised. The character never ages and never dies, or he time travels.
It'd be like making a sequel to Citizen Kane.
The new respect for classics is the best thing about this gen.

I prefer Majora's Mask on the big screen, in whatever form, thank you very much. Games with very strong atmosphere benefit from this and a good quality speaker setup as well. I'm not interested playing this in a tiny screen with tiny speakers that you can barely hear so you are forced to use headphones (and you still don't get the same quality sound).
It just doesn't feel right to me. They should remake it on the WiiU.
