In recent interviews with Eiji Aonuma, the Zelda director gave some hints about what we could possibly see in the new Zelda Wii, along with his thoughts on an Ocarina of Time remake.
Speaking about new gameplay mechanics in the new Zelda Wii, Aonuma said: "I have an eight-year-old son myself at home, and quite recently he started playing The Phantom Hourglass for DS, because when the software first hit the market he was too young. When he started playing with the boat, I told him: 'In the next Zelda, you are going to be able to ride on the train.' He answered: 'OK, Dad, first boat, and then train? Surely next time, Link is going to fly in the sky... '"
He added: "I just don't know. If many people make many speculations... some of them might be correct. Right now, I have to refrain from commenting on anything."
Keep in mind this is only rumor, but could the next Wii Zelda have some sort of flying transportation mechanic for Link?In regards to an Ocarina of Time remake, Aonuma had this to say: "Well, I sometimes hear such requests from people who want to play Ocarina of Time on Wii, they ask us to remake it and take advantage of Wii technology. Whenever we have to think about the remake, we have to also think about the background, especially what kind of situation, what kind of period and time that previous game was played in, because be it Ocarina of Time or any other games, whenever they say they want to have a remake on whichever platform, they have some emotional attachment from playing that game at that particular time or environment.
That sort of background is always there when they talk about or request the remake of a game. We cannot afford to destroy that kind of emotional attachment. Still, even if we are going to take advantage of the improved technology, we have to have some breakthrough in the gameplay. That combination is not an easy one. Whenever we talk about this breakthrough technology, we come up with ideas that we would like to incorporate into the new Zelda franchise. So that's the current situation and that's the reason why we are not very aggressive in exploring the possibility of remaking the past Zelda series. If I can think of how do it, or any other inspiration comes to me, without destroying the emotional attachment people have to the past game, and I can make some great innovation or renovation on the remake, then I might be able to think about it further."
What are your hopes for a possible Ocarina of Time remake in the future, if ever?[
