I voted a ”reimagining of the story/gameplay” in the poll.

I just recently (during May) replayed ALttP on the Virtual Console. And while it is a great game the linearity kills it a bit for me, and the original OoT is not better in that regard.

If they somehow can get the general gist of the story and atmosphere right but with a gameplay that (at least feels) less funneled through a set of checkpoints I would welcome that.

Also I generally dislike remakes of games, give us new games instead! So a reimagine OoT that reuses the ”soul” of original OoT but with new gameplay is something I would much prefer.

OoT was downgrade from ALttP when it comes to openness in overall structure, with ALttP already being downgrade from Zelda 1. Generally, 3D Zeldas (up to BotW) have great Temples/Dungeons, but sacrificed Overworld way too much in the process. BotW did completely opposite, and it's why I find it to be the other side of the same unbalanced coin.

That said, while I would like nothing more than seeing 3D Zelda that has overall structure and balance of Zelda 1, them changing OoT too much wouldn't feel like OoT for me anymore (even if most likely comes out as better game than original OoT) and why I'm in "An expanded version with new mechanics/areas...but with caution" camp.
