Insider Shares Nintendo’s New Zelda Plans, With Disappointment for Majora’s Mask Fans

Nintendo is not currently working on a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, according to insider Shpeshal Nick, despite rumors that the game could return following the success of the updated Ocarina of Time.

The success of the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time raised hopes that another classic Link adventure might return. Players began discussing a possible update to Majora’s Mask, but Shpeshal Nick says the project is not currently in development.

The rumors gained momentum after fans spotted various references to the original game and bloggers weighed in. Austin John Plays claimed that the return of Majora’s Mask was practically a done deal. Such a move seemed logical after the success of Ocarina of Time, but Shpeshal Nick has tempered those expectations.

Shpeshal Nick says the information came from the same source who previously gave him details about the Ocarina of Time remake. According to that source, Nintendo has not begun work on Majora’s Mask. The insider also says a third amiibo figure associated with the project is expected to depict Ganondorf, rather than a character associated with the dark adventure in Termina.

To support his source’s reliability, Shpeshal Nick noted that the source had previously given him advance information about the Ocarina of Time remake, a new console, a Nintendo controller, and Metroid Prime 4.

That does not mean Majora’s Mask will not return, but fans should not count on an announcement soon.
