and there is a long interview with aonuma here

summary (thanks hsrob)

He feels part of the reason people asks for remakes is because they love these games due in part to an emotional attachment developed at the time they originally played the game and he is nervous about potentially destroying this emotional attachment to the original game and also just making a game without any substantial improvements or new features.

legend of zelda oracle of seasons/ages pwease!!!!!!!!

Could you outline the gist of what he says in the OP?

A motion controlled, HD remastered compilation of OoT and Majora's Mask on the next gen Nintendo please. It's not too much to ask for, is it?

That is a very reasonable thing to worry about, all told.

They've been remaking Ocarina with minor changes for the last decade

Was that a dig at Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess, or did you confuse "remake" with "port"

A Modern version of Bug(u) and Error would be awesome but his worries are pretty reasonable. A poorly made remake can ruin the nostalgia factor for a game.
