Majora's Mask teased in new official Nintendo artwork

Come on. This thread is about Nintendo teasing a remake. Let's not spoil the game for people holding out to play it.

You're reading too much into it. It wouldn't be a Hanabi festival without a mask and Majora is the only mask that makes sense using in a Zelda illustration.
Could someone post the wallpapers here, please? They sound nice, I would like to see them.

It was mostly ignored by Nintendo for like a decade though. It was Zelda: Gaiden, and Nintendo treated it mostly like that, putting more emphasis on entries with Ganondorf (Ocarina, TWW, TP) and rarely referencing Majora's Mask. The shift only happened rather recently.
Good going there buddy, Spoiler tags are there for a reason.
Nice, don't need to play this shit now.

Watch it turn out it's a new Nintendo Land being teased with the background fireworks.

Looks more like a homage than a tease tbh.

Majora's Mask is the best of the series even over OOT imo.
It's not actually that common to wear masks, although many do wear yukatas. If they're going to feature Link wearing a mask, his yellow fox mask would make more sense considering the style is a comparatively common sight at Japanese festivals.
This is most definitely a tease.
why not both?
I'd prefer a portable remake - the amount of work done to bring it to HD consoles isn't something that could be outsourced to a smaller developer like Grezzo, and would thus take resources away from new games.

I think we're reaching a bit on this one. >_>
HD remake. A game that "out there", zany and colorful deserves to be fully realized with the much better visuals.

Nintendo did just that with The Wind Waker, though. Granted, it was a from a GameCube game, but still.

I would prefer a 3DS remake. An HD remake seems like too much work, and if OOT didn't get one I don't see why its sequel should. Plus I would like Nintendo to focus on a TP HD to compliment WW HD.

I hope, that's ironic.
I'd prefer a 3DS remake over a console remake, because they could completely outsource it this way. Also, I have the game on two consoles already (GameCube, Nintendo 64), I don't need another console version. A portable version adds some real value over superficial stuff like better graphics. I'd expect a stable framerate on 3DS, too.
EDIT: Regarding the game, imo, MM ist the second best Zelda ever made. However, I think Skyward Sword is number one, so if you don't like that, this might not be too valuable to you.

Hey, I want it to happen as much as you do. I'm just saying, whoever did this illustration probably has no say in wether it happens or not and most likely just likes the mask.
Ok. And which of those has a whole game named after it?

I wouldn't write it off completely. It would be a nice title to prop up the Wii U's library and build more excitement and interest in Zelda U.
As for development resources: Grezzo could include HD assets from Zelda U, possibly contributing to the repository themselves and thereby reducing the total development time for the new Zelda. They would need to upscale a lot of MM-exclusive models and textures, but this is something that they would be doing for 3DS anyway.
I expect a 3DS port was originally planned, but the delay could be explained by the shift to an HD port. This isn't an unusual thing for Nintendo to do, so I wouldn't be surprised by either.
That was also due to Wind Waker's unique artstyle combined with the higher detail afforded by the original being on Gamecube - the assets themselves wouldn't have required nearly as much updating (didn't Monolith Kyoto only retexture the vast majority of environments?) compared to a N64 game which attempts a more realistic style. In addition to the environmental geometry, textures and character models / animations being considerably overhauled, effects like fire and water would have to be completely rewritten in order to look even close to acceptable.

More like, it's the most "seeing teases where there are none" I've seen in a long time. How many years have we been expecting the remake now? Four?
The illustrator wouldn't have sat there and prepared a random image everything is produced according to spec. The Marketing department would have requested this image, and that department is well aware of Nintendo's release strategy for the next couple of years.

Not even close. Miyamoto said they would consider doing Majora's Mask after making an original 3DS Zelda. That happened last year, so we've been waiting one year for MM.
And, it is happening. Probably next year. Hyrule Warriors is the Zelda game this year.
It's not.

You're reaching harder than some of the [ridiculous math chain] = Half-Life 3 confirmed posts I've seen.

But wasn't it also discussed, rumoured and commented on when OoT3D came out?
And next year is going to be Zelda U, unless Nintendo is going to launch two Zelda games next year.

Nah they should put it on the Wii U but still reuse OoT3D's assets.
More like unless Zelda U gets pushed to 2016.

Majoras mask is video game art like few games are.
What a unique gem.
What a unique gem.
Looks like a 3DS version is still favored around here. I myself would want a portable remake given that it is much faster and much cheaper to develop a 3DS game, plus with OOT remake some assets are already there. But MM is the one I hope to see on the big screen once again.
Well, it's not like Nintendo has enough resources to work on both versions.

I don't usually buy games I have already played but Majoras Mask is a special case.
I hope it's for Wii U though.

Nintendo just drew Majora's Mask in official artwork for the first time in almost 15 years at a time of high-intensity teasing for a MM remake. How is this thread reaching more than anything else we've seen so far?!
