Monolith Soft has number of successful games under its belt and has helped out Nintendo with a large amount of support work on first party titles. Now an online retailer has listed Monolith Soft as the sole developer behind the eagerly awaited The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Whether this is the case remains to be seen, but it would certainly be an interesting development.
Thanks to Edward B and Zelda Whispers for sending in the news tip!
If it’s EPD3 + Monolith, I may personally like this retake. If it’s Western dev + Monolith, probably not. Just Monolith would be a toss up, I guess. Personally I just want a port of OOT3D to HD
“Monolith Soft has number of successful games under its belt and has helped out Nintendo with a large amount of support work on first party titles”
…Monolith soft IS nintendo first party studio. They are not even “second party” like HAL or IS. What a dumb phrasing.
Not talking about first or third parties, but ok. My sentiment is basically I’m not expecting to personally vibe with this version of Ocarina. Off chance the Zelda team in Kyoto absolutely strikes the perfect balance with the designs (because they are the soul of the franchise, not monolith) and I end up eating it up. I just don’t think this one’s for me and that’s okay! Everyone can have fun and love this version, I’m not here to take that away!
Good lord, stop overcompensating with your sanctimony.
Try not hyping everything Nintendo to the ceiling on any Nintendo blog, the insults invariably come out. I was already told I was holding up the fun this week, even after I agreed with another comment that I didn’t need to go the route of slamming on the Directs. It was fair enough. Now there’s sanctimony to add to the eggshells around here lol
For real. Drones are tiresome.
I seriously doubt Nintendo EPD3 is personally involved with this… they’re undoubtedly busy at work on their next original 3D Zelda for Switch 2.
Given that game development is a lot more taxing for Nintendo’s first party studios these days on Switch 2, they’re a lot more picky and choosey about which titles they choose to work on, and I don’t think they’re going to use their personal manpower on a remake.
I concur, it’s likely some other studios and not Aonuma’s team. Small chance they provided co-dev if Miyamoto really wanted a certain handling of this, who knows, but probably it was not Kyoto office
bro you are doing too much LOOOOL
nintendo will over see and monolith will develop. thats how it always went. Not that deep.
Monolith has provided co-dev support to Zelda, not main development, that’s EPD3. Maybe you’re offering too little with that comment. And I’ll refrain from adding a laugh at you! Everyone’s here to hit and run, eh?
It could very well be Grezzo co developing. They’ve been very quiet lately.
Considering Monolith Soft have helped with the Zelda franchise since Skyward Sword, it wouldn’t be surprising.
That makes sense, they help out on a lot of titles. Splatoon Raiders was worked on by them, so I think it was.
Sounds more promising that it is the larger reimagining I would prefer then. I’d still like it if it was a nicer looking version of the original but its not nearly as interesting.
I believe it. EPD3 is probably working on the next mainline Zelda.
Maybe this is the “project legacy” that was rumored months back, was supposed to be a nintendo monolith soft collaboration.
Monolith is doing superb, masterpiece after masterpiece. Hope this means a full remake doing OoT even bigger. We already have OoT3D as a remaster.
