Legend of Zelda Thread

@northern haste  
Is that a fan remix, or actually from the game?
 
@Jarkes  
Admittedly, I do kinda miss the SMB2 bosses, and such.

@Beau Skunky  
It’s an official song but I don’t think it played in the actual game

@Shepherd  
Noice!

@Shepherd  
We’re ganna be seeing alot of new Marin fanart, aren’t we?

@Beau Skunky  
Yup

@Beau Skunky  
Well Nintendo did do a fan art contest

On a side note I saw a video talking about the possibility have a N64 mini having the unreleased ocarina of time expansion.  
Now as cool as that would be there are two things I think prevent that from happening. The ideas for the expansion most likely ended up in future games and unlike star fox 2 on the SNES mini ura Zelda was never finished

@northern haste
 
Pretty sure Ura Zelda eventually became Master Quest.

@Jarkes  
From my understanding only the dungeons

@northern haste
 
I don’t remember much else being planned for Ura Zelda apart from those dungeons and a dungeon maker (the latter of which we just got with the Link’s Awakening Switch remake).

@Jarkes  
Well it is a bit of a mystery what ura Zelda was supposed to be exact but I do think it’s supposed to be more than just remastered dungeons.  
We got majora’s mask instead of the expansion

@northern haste
 
As I understand it Majora’s Mask was always its own thing, though it was also planned to be on the 64DD under the name “Zelda Gaiden”.

@Jarkes  
eiji aonuma didn’t want to do the expansion so he made a deal with miyamoto that if he could make a new game within a year he didn’t have to

@northern haste
 
So Majora’s Mask literally exists solely because of a bet.

@Jarkes  
I’m going by second-hand information

@northern haste  
I’m not even sure if it was made.
 
They could definitely include the Ocarina of Time “Master Quest” as a bonus. Though, Nintendo said they have no plans to make a N64 Mini Classic, (yet) and the only reason they did the NES & SNES Classics was to bridge the gap between the WiiU & Switch eras.  
Kinda makes it ironic people were mocking them for making Mini systems, and saying things like, “I can’t wait ‘till the Wii Classic Edition comes out!” Now those same people are upset they aren’t making any more.
 
That said, the Sega Mini recently released is pretty cool too, though shame it’s not selling as crazy as the NES & SNES Classic.

@Beau Skunky  
Well I did say the expansion was unfinished.  
The video say Nintendo did trademark an N64 controller logos but the video is over a year old now

@northern haste
 
I think I do remember reading about an interview Aonuma had where he basically said that most of the ideas that would’ve been in Ura Zelda got used in later games (though he wasn’t specific about which ones).

While we’re talking about N64 stuff, I kind of suspect that rather than a “Switch Online” thing like the NES and SNeS, if we get N64 games on the Switch it’ll be stand-alone EShop titles like the Arcade Archives, Sega Ages, and Turbo-Grafx titles on there.

@Jarkes  
I also said that earlier as he possibly for why the expansion might never be released.

On a side note I had a dream last night where the oracle remake came out and it also has the cancelled third game in it

@northern haste
 
How would that even work anyway, since when they canceled it they put the time travel aspects into Oracle of Ages instead (Ages was originally going to be centered around color-themed puzzles, and there are still a few of those in the final game)? Or was it the other way around (the third game was color-themed and similar puzzles ended up in Ages when they canceled the third one)? I can never remember.
