The thing is, though, we don't need this.
Zelda, to me, is something that needn't be altered. It holds a huge part of my life, and basically owns a majority of my childhood in its palms.
This is very similar to what Star Wars meant to me. The original saga is a nearly flawless series, but after those first three amazing movies, the series went straight down the drain. They not only made a mediocre prequel trilogy with only one acceptable film (Episode III), but they insist on CONSTANTLY remaking and re-editing and raping the original trilogy, something that has been held so dearly to me for years and many others for decades. I still own the original trilogy box set on VHS because it's the only compilation I can find that's unaltered from the original theatrical release.
I've come to accept this from movies; ever since, I have seen movies in a much more fascist, glutonous, and capitalist light, but I'm finally comfortable with it. However, I cannot be satisfied with something like this to my favorite video game series of all time. Nor will I ever hold the same respect for Aonuma, Nintendo, and especially Miyamoto ever again. Shigeru Miyamoto has never remade a single one of his countless masterpieces, why start now? Why start with something that doesn't need to be changed? Why start with something that will end in nothing short of an uproar from fans? Why?
I could accept a graphical upgrade to OoT or Majora's Mask, but why do something so drastic?
