Majora's Mask's appeal is hard to guage due to the required peripheral. Similar to Skyward Sword, in a way. Both came late in their console's lives with very little else supporting the console at the time (though N64 had a better last year than either GC or Wii) and required a peripheral to function. I'd argue that the game has a lot that could really sell, namely the focus on building a living, breathing world, and the three-day system hurting the game's linearity (though it was still linear in the end). The game could do well to appeal to modern action-adventure fans who crave something more along the lines of a Skyrim or GTA. Majora's Mask is the Zelda that was closest in that direction. |
Using its world as a jumping off point for a game with broader appeal is sound. However, Nintendo still believes the appeal of Zelda is in the narrative and puzzles. They wouldn't entertain that direction.
It's more likely that an MM sequel would be an appeal to nostalgia. To the people who should have already bought a Wii U for WW HD. That's not an efficient use of marketing message bandwidth.
