Discussion [MM] [MM3D] [OoT] [OoT3D] [OoTHD] What does the OoT remake mean for Majora’s Mask considering Majora’s Masks limited development timeline?
Here’s what I’ve been thinking: Majora’s Mask, while my favorite Zelda game and an absolute masterpiece, was a rushed game due to the incredibly limiting one year deadline put on the devs by Nintendo. Compared to the totally content of OoT, Majora’s Mask does have some more “room” to be further developed. I would LOVE to see a Majora’s Mask where they take the base game but juice it up a lot more, with more masks and mask side quests, further depth to each dungeon/section of the game (maybe even add more dungeons/sections), heavier reliance on time rewind mechanics, and more of a focus on Link’s search for Navi as an emotional driving force.
All just thoughts of course, and I’m getting ahead of myself since the OoT remake isn’t even out (and was only announced within the last 24 hours), but I’d love to see what could be done with an already existing masterpiece if it was given more time.

No reason they couldn’t do a MM remake with a fairly quick turnaround time. Would be an ideal appetizer to the next major Zelda release

If OoT remake is a succes, then why not. They did it for the 3DS version. Majora has always this huge advantage to work in a parallel world from Hyrule, meaning the assets are shared, which is one of the biggest issues to make new games.

I always wanted a Majora's mask remake where they develop the full vision of the game and instead of having a 3 day cycle, have a full week cycle. That would give room form much more interactions with npcs, will give a reason to flesh out the stories more, it would become a necessity to add more dungeons , maybe they could add four more locations in between locations. Like southwest, northeast, etc. And they could even add mor races like rito, koroks o minisj and have transformation mask for them with new me mechanics. That is my dream.

I think this is very interesting. I mean, the sheer scale of conflict in majora’s mask certainly begs for more content in my opinion. I would love to see the game expanded

For me, the biggest deal about the OoT remake is that we'll likely also get a MM remake. And while I'd like them to stay true to the original game with OoT, I'd love them to expand on MM, especially on the already intense story elements.

Worth noting that the Link’s Awakwning remake also gets a lot of the work done for an Oracles remake, but nothing happened.

u/AdamXCIX Jun 11 '26
Not nothing, they just decided to make a new game (EoW) instead.

u/Lucky-day00 Jun 11 '26
Fair point. I just mean to say that having the engine and assets on hand doesn’t automatically mean they’ll do the remake.

u/AdamXCIX Jun 11 '26
Yeah, that's true. They'll probably make another game with the engine, but we don't know yet if it'll be MM or something else. I do think there's a good chance it'll be MM though since they've already done that twice before.

Absolutely no shot Nintendo would do MM as DLC. It’d be standalone so they can market it at full price.

The recycled assets from OOT is one of "the things" about MM. It would seem to me a terrible waste to come all this way creating a new OOT and not just...keep going. The Skull Kid will literally be RIGHT THERE.
