Re: Soapbox: It's Time For A Zelda 1 Remake, Please

What is wrong with you guys? Every time Zelda 1 is mentioned people say stuff like "It has aged poorly", "Controls are stiff" "it is too cryptic", but then suddenly a remake is not needed?
If they did remake it, they could add so much to it without changing the base experience. Expand the map to add more secrets and hint NPCs(this would be a great way to implement Heart pieces), add 3 dimensionality to the dungeons, the original's dungeons were pretty flat, they could add ledges and stuff without having to change the map layout itself and also making everything seamless without screen transitions.
They could improve on the combat, as that one is extremely simple and is a heavy part of the original's experience.
I think adding more hints would be a huge improvement by itself so people stop this insanity of "play with a guide". If you are playing with a guide, better to not play at all.
