How about a dark gritty reboot of LttP?
Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?

Obligatory Bloodborne mention.
Not sure if it’s been done already, but Zelda LttP would be cool. I haven’t played Echoes of Wisdom though I like the art style and could see it working well.
Goldeneye + Perfect Dark.

That sounds awesome. I’m imagining it in the style of Dark Souls, but a reskin would be fun.

I’m thinking like the dead space remake. Extra gory!

That’d be awesome! I’d pirate the shit out of a remake.

I don’t think Nintendo is capable of doing anything to Link to the Past other than ruin it.
A lot of the Zelda games that got “remasters” mostly had their resolutions and brightnesses increased, to the point that the Wind Waker remake has problematic amounts of bloom. Makes me think someone important at Nintendo has cataracts. So if you want to “remaster” A Link to the Past, run it through an AI upscaler and turn a desk lamp on your screen.
The few that have gotten ground-up “remakes” like Link’s Awakening…I kind of liked the art style they chose, it fit the tone of the game pretty well, going with quartets for the music is a stroke of genius, WHY DOESN’T THE FUCKING D-PAD WORK? The original game was designed for use with a D-Pad and either 4- or 8- way motion. I get that modern gamers might instinctively reach for the analog stick, but bind movement controls to the D-pad too, especially if you’re not going to bind anything else to those controls. Nintendo never doesn’t fuck this up. They made an entire console based on a revolutionary new way to fuck up the controls.
So what you’d get out of a first-party re-release of aLttP is a blank white screen you control entirely with the gyros.
