The original launched a year after Ocarina of Time because it used the same models, animations, and core gameplay mechanics, allowing Nintendo to speedily deliver on a sequel. Adding fuel to the fire, dataminers found unused dialogue referring to Link wearing a strange and unsettling mask, prompting theories that Nintendo is planning to release a Skull Kid amiibo that unlocks Majora's Mask in the remake—potentially teasing a standalone game. However, according to one leaker, that isn't happening. "From what I've been told (same source that gave me the Ocarina info in the first place) Majora's Mask is not currently in any form of production and the third planned (production issues not withstanding) amiibo is Ganondorf," Shepshal Nick said. That Doesn't Mean A Majora's Mask Remake Is Never Happening Shepshal Nick could be wrong, and it's entirely possible that a Majora's Mask remake is being discussed internally. As with all leaks, his comments should be taken with a grain of salt. However, it's worth noting that while his track record is admittedly mixed—claiming that Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire ports would arrive by October—he also backed the existence of a Zelda-themed Switch 2 ahead of official confirmation and has tipped off several Nintendo Direct announcements ahead of time. "This same guy told me the remake was happening two years ago and said it had a high budget for a Nintendo remake," Shepshal Nick continued. "Also told me the console and controller were coming. Also gave me Metroid Prime 4 info years in advance. So they must know *something*. "I have no idea if Majora's Mask will NEVER happen," he continued. "I'm just saying it's not in the works right now which many seem to assume/think it's [either] being worked on or basically ready to go. The next major remake I'm aware of is in 2028. Can't say what it is yet." Rather than jumping right into another remake with Majora's Mask, it's possible that Nintendo will instead begin work on a new Zelda game. The team could still revisit Majora's Mask in the future using the Ocarina of Time assets, but we likely won't see a repeat of 1998 and 1999 here. If anything, we're probably looking at a repeat of the DS remasters. Ocarina of Time 3D launched in 2011, while Majora's Mask 3D launched in 2015—a four-year gap. As for what the elusive 2028 remake Shepshal Nick is teasing might be, he isn't at liberty to say. "If I was allowed to I would have by now," he said.
