Reborn classic...

[Zelda Veteran]

Blank and I were talking earlier, and got on the subject of 3D classics. We loved the idea of a 3D Link to the Past, and wanted to run the idea by Nintendo. However, first, I'm going to zoom around the Zelda Community dropping polls on Zelda sites. And what better place to start, than my favorite Zelda site on the net, the Desert Colossus. So close your eyes, and picture the idea in your head. 3D Link to the past. It would be like Ocarina of Time (better graphics)! Start off waking up in bed, and you notice your uncle leaving with his sword in hand, thunder and lightining outside the window. Making your way to the majestic Hyrule Castle, and heading in the secret entrance. Fighting Ganon in the end, reliving the climactic battle in the Third dimension. Silver arrows, magic boomerang, Roc's Cape, and so many more awesome memories, along with bonus features! Please leave a vote and comments. If this gets good reviews, and all goes according to hopes and dreams, this could be the next big talk in the Nintendo HQ!

I think it would be a great idea! As long as they kept the music, I'd love it.

[Gamefreak]

I'd buy it.  Link to the Past is probably my favorite Zelda game.

[Zelda Veteran]

Yeah, they would have to use orchastrated music of the original music, but it would still rock! Should link have purple hair?

[MagmarFire]

That was probably just a sprite glitch or something. XD

But I'm all for the idea myself. I already have a picture of a 3D Aghanim (sp?) battle in my head. I would also like new puzzles to be in it, and I want it to be about as hard as the original. Then just add a little spice, and you've got yourself an excellent remake!

It would probably be cool if they still added the Blade Beam attack when your Life Energy's full and you have the Master Sword.

Of course! ALttP Link is a rebel!

It's a great idea, it would be interesting to see how they implement the Pegasus Boots in 3D...this would be the first time that item has been outside of a 2D game, but it's been in every single 2D one...

[Hi no Seijin]

This time, they could have the bosses' name and a descriptive title at the beginning of the fight!

[DW]

Hmm...I could have fun with some of their descriptive titles...ooh, idea for filler comic!

[Zelda Veteran]

glad I could help
And we're going to drop this on a few of TDC's affiliates before taking the idea to nintendo.

[Fishalicious]

I like the idea, though I haven't actually played through the game. -cough-

3-D roc's cape and pegasus boots, though? Mmm... yes.

[MagmarFire]

No, better yet: MEDALLIONS!!! Just imagine the beauty of the destructive power that those would release when used!

[GayleThePirate]

I love the old Zelda games, its just the graphics that get me mad.  I think I got spoiled by Twilight Princess but I love the idea!

[Gamefreak]

I may be a little rusty, but I thought that Roc's cape wasn't in Link to the Past.

And MagmarFire, the Medallions will be freakin sweet.  Especially Bombos.

[Blank]

I think he meant the Magic Cape, which turns the wearer invisible for a time. Silly ZV ^_^

It's a long shot idea, knowing the big N's history of accepting fan ideas like these (anyone else remember the countless Mario RPG remake petitions?). But we've agreed that it's worth the shot, no matter how miserably we fail

So far, feedback has been mixed at EDN's Forbidden Woods. Everyone basically thinks it's be sweet. The problem they find is that Nintendo could potentially screw it up. Either by making it too easy, by adding in cheesy elements, or maybe even by not expanding on story well enough. There's a variety of things that could go wrong. Another problem some people find is that it could take away from the glory that ALttP managed to earn on the SNES.

Course, that's just EDN. We're going to drop the same poll off at affiliates around the community, and hopefully we can get a good amount of support up...

Which is where the problem is: Pitching the idea to Nintendo. Can't very well just email ole Reggie and ask for a remake; we'd get a form response along the lines of "We'll Consider It! ^^" to which we say "Shoot..." and forget the matter. We don't want that.

But we can worry about the pitch later. For now let's just rally up the support!  

[Zelda Veteran]

There you go! Thats the spirit we need! And yeah, I meant the Magic Cape, the one thats under the tombstone. Have you emailed archaic_sage yet?
