TAKEN FROM THE SR WEBSITE...

Oof! Ocarina of Time will be remade for GameCube, and it's no joke! A director's cut of the first N64 Zelda title is on the cards!
Zelda fans, kneel on your Nintendo prayer mats and thank the Lord Miyamoto. According to a reputable Dutch gaming website, Nintendo are to remake Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the GameCube, complete with new areas, new dungeons, bonus features and even the ill-fated 64DD Ura Zelda expansion - it's a Zelda avalanche! The site translated a version of Japanese games bible Dengeki, in which an announcement detailing this 'director's cut' can be found.

Ninty boss Shigeru Miyamoto has spoken in the past of a desire to remake special editions of classic titles, using young, up-and-coming developers to train them, so that they may then go on to greatness. Here's what the special edition will contain:

Zelda Director's Cut

Ura Zelda's previously unreleased dungeons

Option for classic overworld or N64 theme

Option for enhanced graphics or original graphics

Making of movie

Music CD

Limited Edition includes map of Hyrule, pocket watch, art book and character figure
Whoohaa! If there's one thing we wholeheartedly agree with, it's the reworkings of classic titles on more powerful machines - Resident Evil has already wowed us, so just how good will this new/old Zelda be? Words fail me, even at this early stage. Stay tuned for more, and expect E3 to throw up some brand new surprises.

Can you believe this???

I think I've died and gone to heaven...

I don't fancy playing through an old game again. I wouldn't mind a Link to the past in a graphical update as it was never 3D. But OoT was 3D so there is no point.

sorry to disapoint folks but its a fake story. It started on the GA forums for a larf and the whole web community has bought it for some sad reason. A zelda compilation might happen one day but Dengeki did NOT have any Zelda news. Bad luck.

I think I'll buy Zelda OOT for Game Cube cos I never got far on it on the N64 as I bought it for £10 and had another game like WWF Wrestlemania at the same time which played on a lot, and beacuse of the extras.

Excellent!

Everything seems to be happening with Nintendo lately! This is brilliant!

Fair enough it will be the same game, but what a game it was!
