Majora’s Mask remake is “a foregone conclusion” after Ocarina of Time, ex-Nintendo marketers say

Two former Nintendo of America marketing and PR leads say a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is highly likely following the release of a new Ocarina of Time remake. Their comments are speculation, not confirmation from Nintendo, but they argue the earlier game’s success and the opportunity to reuse its foundations make a follow-up commercially sensible.

The Ocarina of Time remake reportedly sold more than five million copies in its first four days. Former marketers Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang note that the original Majora’s Mask followed Ocarina of Time on Nintendo 64 in under two years, partly by reusing assets and systems; Ellis cautions a new remake may still be more than one or two years away. They also suggest Nintendo could alternate between new 2D and 3D Zelda games and remakes.
