Kinda expected honestly. Tantalus is a Western studio and Nintendo was never going to let a foreign Western studio "fully remake" one of their classic EAD Japan-made Zelda titles.
You need to understand how Japanese game politics (specifically conservative Kyoto-based Nintendo) works and then this is all fairly predictable.
The only thing a Western studio would be allowed to do would be to basically port the game to the Wii U with the increased resolution, but a "remake" ... no siree bob. Not unless it was a Japanese studio tightly overseen by EAD.
