Majora’s Mask Remake Rumors Grow After New Nintendo Activity

Rumors surrounding a potential remake of Nintendo's critically acclaimed game, Majora's Mask, have been gaining traction following a series of recent Nintendo activities. While the company has yet to officially confirm the development of a new version, fans have found several clues that suggest this remake could be in the works.

The latest piece of evidence arrived on October 4, when Nintendo added new Majora's Mask icons for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, just weeks before the November 5 release of the Ocarina of Time remake for Nintendo Switch 2. The original Majora's Mask was released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64 and is set in the dark, mysterious world of Termina, where Link has only three days to prevent a falling moon from destroying the land.

The timing of the minor clues has led some fans to speculate that a remake of Ocarina of Time could provide a solid foundation for creating a new Majora's Mask, as both games share many graphics, characters, and other assets. However, these hints are merely circumstantial and have not been officially confirmed by Nintendo.

The speculation about a Majora's Mask remake began in early July when a project called "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask HD" appeared on the IMDb database as being in post-production. However, this clue was later found to be false after tracing it back to an old image on a defunct Chinese website.

Despite this setback, Nintendo has been actively releasing various items related to Majora's Mask in recent weeks. These include digital collectible cards in the Nintendo Today app, the full soundtrack on Nintendo Music starting October 9, and new icons for Switch Online members. These items have sparked further interest in the possibility of a remake, as Nintendo often releases such extras one game at a time, making the recent cluster of hints stand out.

Although the evidence suggests that a Majora's Mask remake might be in development, there is no single item that definitively proves it. The company could simply be highlighting a fan favorite ahead of Halloween, a time when interest in one of the darker games in the series may be especially high. The final decision on whether a remake is in the works remains unconfirmed, leaving fans to speculate based on the circumstantial clues provided by Nintendo.
