Nintendo fans have long speculated about a fresh remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask for modern platforms such as the Nintendo Switch.
The original Majora’s Mask launched on Nintendo 64 in 2000 and later received a high-profile remaster, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, released for Nintendo 3DS in 2015.
That 3DS remake, along with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (2011), was developed by Grezzo in collaboration with Nintendo — a fact that established the studio as a specialist in porting and remastering classic Zelda titles for Nintendo handheld hardware.
In the latest round of reporting, known Nintendo leaker Shpeshal Nick stated that Nintendo does not currently have a Majora’s Mask remake in production.
Paraphrasing his comments: he said Nintendo is not actively developing a new Majora’s Mask remake at this time, though he did not rule out future changes to Nintendo’s plans.
Shpeshal Nick also indicated that the third planned amiibo tied to an Ocarina of Time remake would be Ganondorf.
Both assertions remain unconfirmed by Nintendo.
It is important to separate verified history from ongoing rumors.
Verified facts include: The original Majora’s Mask debuted in 2000 on Nintendo 64; Grezzo developed Majora’s Mask 3D for Nintendo 3DS, which launched in February 2015; and Grezzo also produced the 2011 3DS remaster of Ocarina of Time.
Nintendo typically announces major Zelda projects and hardware-specific releases through formal channels such as Nintendo Direct broadcasts or official Nintendo accounts and eShop listings on Nintendo Switch.
Amiibo support is an established Nintendo ecosystem feature: amiibo figurines use NFC to interact with compatible hardware, including the Nintendo 3DS (with an accessory) and Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo has released multiple Zelda-related amiibo over the years.
However, until Nintendo issues an official announcement regarding a new Majora’s Mask remake, platform plans, release windows, or an amiibo lineup tied to any hypothetical remake should be treated as speculative.
For readers tracking Zelda development news, the most reliable indicators remain direct Nintendo communications: Nintendo Direct presentations, official press releases, Nintendo’s corporate social channels, and Nintendo eShop listings.
Any future confirmation of a Majora’s Mask remake for Nintendo Switch or announcements about amiibo associated with a new remake will likely arrive through those channels.
