As soon as possible, these Zelda games should be made over.
The Legend of Zelda is a series of games that a lot of people love. Over the years, the series has always had high quality games. The most recent game, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is rightly thought of as one of the best games of this age, if not one of the best games of all time.
There are, however, some Zelda games that would benefit from being remade. Even though almost all of them are fun to play in any condition. This became even more clear with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX on Nintendo Switch. This game took an old Zelda game and made it better than ever. As many fans as possible want to see these games redone from the ground up. There are a few more in the series that would benefit from the same treatment.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons & The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
- Original platform: Game Boy Color
Fans probably want to see another Game Boy game made again as the first game they’d love to see made again. In fact, these are two different games. Among the Zelda games, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages are the only ones that came out at the same time, which is more common in the Pokémon series. Even though these two games have the same world and main story. They are very different in how they are put together. There are more action-packed scenes in Oracle of Seasons than puzzle-packed scenes in Oracle of Ages.
The two games let players get the real, full story, and they can be played online on Nintendo Switch. But they haven’t held up very well over time because of the Game Boy’s flaws. A full remake would make these two games shine like they should, and players could finally get the whole experience in one package, even the most frustrating levels. Maybe even some of the content that was supposed to be in the third version but was canceled would be included.
The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures
- Original platform: Gamecube
The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures is one of the few games in the series that is almost always played with other people. It probably won’t be mentioned when people talk about the best games in the series. But it still has its own charm. The adventure could be played by up to four people at once, and it was a lot of fun to do so with family or friends. Unfortunately, multiplayer only worked with the GameCube and Game Boy Advance. Which made it very hard to have a full game with other people.
The game is very hard to find these days, and it has never been re-released in any way. Remaking the game could finally do it right by making the multiplayer experience smoother, so that all players can finally play it. It could also be a chance to make the second game better by adding more stories and maybe even online multiplayer, which would make the first game a classic right away.
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
- Original platform: Nintendo DS
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has fans who don’t like it. On the one hand, it was the first portable 3D Legend of Zelda game. Which made it very popular when it first came out. The game is also a straight follow-up to the well-known The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. This is one of the few times in the series that there is a direct follow-up. On the other hand, the touch controls were unbearably finicky, and the structure was very repetitive, with a lot of going back to the same center dungeon. People who have played the whole game still dream about it.
It might be time for a remake now that there isn’t any gear that can play DS games (unless people have an old 3DS that can play a lot of The Legend of Zelda games). This could be the chance to make the game better and fix some of the things that people didn’t like about it. Nintendo could go all the way and put the whole “trilogy” in one box, with The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks included. This would finally give this subseries the attention it deserves. There are probably a lot of gamers who haven’t heard that there is a follow up to The Wind Waker. If there was, they would beg to play it in a better form.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
- Original platform: Nintendo DS
There is a third part in The Wind Waker saga that is a straight sequel to the first game. It takes place 100 years after The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Instead of making the hero stronger, it stuck with a cute version of Link as the main character. Many players thought that The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks was a huge step up from the last game in the series. But the touch controls were still not very stable. Plus, even though Doodle Cricket didn’t have one big dungeon like the last one, it still had a strange structure for the series that made it too hard to explore.
Players would love to see a remake of this game because of the things that make it bad. Though Spirit Tracks isn’t a bad game by any means, it could be a lot better. Especially since the DS tech it came out on wasn’t very good. Plus, you can’t play it on any new hardware right now, which makes fans want a remake even more.
