Sounds foolish. A Handheld Twilight Princess could work in the future, but this is a bit soon. Ocarina of Time got a handheld remake after 13 years, Majora's Mask after 15, Link to the Past was "only" 11 years, etc.

Hell, even outside of Zelda, Nintendo handheld remakes take a while. On the 3DS, Pokemon G3 took 12 years and Star Fox 64 took 14 years. On the DS, Super Mario 64 took 8 years, Pokemon G2 took 10 years, Kirby Super Star took 12 years, and Fire Emblem remakes took 18 and 16 years. On the GBA, the Super Mario Advance games came out 7 to 15 years after the originals, Pokemon G1 took 8 years, Kirby's Adventure took 9 years, and Metroid took 18 years. Donkey Kong Country Returns only took a bit under 3 years, but it, like Xenoblade, is an exception rather than the norm. But even with them included, Nintendo seems to take roughly 12 years on average to remake a game for a handheld.

Personally, I don't want a handheld Twilight Princess until it can be notably improved from the original. Even if it ends up being a facelift, it should be a noticeable one. That would require a 9th gen handheld from Nintendo.

Well it has already been 8+ years
