In July, the CEO of Inti Creates, Takuya Aizu, told Nintendo Force magazine that he would like to remake Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
I doubt many people took his comment as any kind of confirmation that a remake would be happening, but Aizu clarified when Nintendo Life recently asked him about his previous comment:
Firstly, it wasn’t so much that I wanted to make it from a business perspective! I was asked during an interview if I could make a game using a Nintendo character, what would I like to make. I really love The Legend of Zelda so I answered that if I could make The Adventure of Link I would be really happy. That story kind of blew up, but it wasn’t really something I was thinking about from a business perspective that I would like to make it, but simply that if I could make a game using Nintendo characters that it would be The Adventures of Link. And I still think that! But our company and I don’t really think it is realistic that we could make a game using Nintendo characters. But if after a long time such a miracle could happen, that would be really great! But we think it is unlikely.
When Nintendo Life asked if he would like to work on a series other than Zelda he reiterated that The Adventure of Link is his favorite. A man of culture, indeed.
