I Hope These Two Underrated Zelda Games Get The Remakes They Deserve

There are two games that I feel would benefit immensely from remakes that would bring them into the spotlight, which otherwise seem to have mostly been left forgotten. While neither is likely to be considered highly when ranking the best games, both were among the first titles I ever played in the franchise growing up, giving them a strong nostalgia for me. Beyond that, I cannot deny that some of their mechanics are less than perfect, especially by modern standards, but this is something that new releases would be perfectly capable of fixing.

Of course, has already produced a number of remakes, with the most recent of these being. features several changes to the original game, including autosaving and updated controls, although it does also frustratingly lock its new fast travel mechanic behind an Amiibo purchase. Before this, the remake of for Nintendo Switch received excellent reviews, which alone sets a good precedent for any future remakes for the Switch or Switch 2 (including the long-rumored Switch ports for and, should they ever actually materialize).

and for the Nintendo DS were among the first games I ever played. Having never played, its sequel storybook-like recap of its events was extremely useful to the younger me in 2007 in gaining context for the game, and the protests of Tetra against her being called Zelda immediately made a strong impression regarding her characterization. From there, I was quickly introduced to the World of the Ocean King, and embarked upon a sea-faring adventure with memorable characters that enthralled me to the end.

Just a few years later, was an equally enjoyable experience for me. The uniqueness of the train-based travel system and the colorful inhabitants of New Hyrule, as well as the many antics of the disembodied Zelda, are just a few of the many memorable aspects of the game. In fact, Zelda’s hysterical reaction to learning Malladus plans to possess her body is still arguably one of my favorite ever video game moments,
